    There is no bluff too it. If Hopkins doesn't show him the money the fight ain't happening.

    The big problem with Calzaghe coming to the States is, no matter how much he's offered, he'd make more in Britan.Now, we're talking professional boxing here, and usually professionals go where the money is.Kessler got a fair shake, scoring wise, and Hopkins lost two squeakers to Taylor in the US, so does the venue really matter that much as far as decisions go? I've seen some really bad decisions in the US and everywhere for that matter.
    So if Hopkins really wants to fight, he should call British Airways, or just STFU.

    If Hopkins don't fight Calzaghe he will retire. I think he'll will fight Joe and It won't matter about money. He's fighting for his legacy in boxing history. Hopkins is not scared to fight Calzaghe and he will fight him.

    When Hopkins came back, I understood it was for three fights.

    He beat Winky. Calzaghe will be next. After that, I'm assuming he'll give one last effort to angle for a fight with Jones.

    I hope to god Calzaghe comes over here and fights him at the Garden. Hopkins will ass **** him in the ring....literally. He's going hold and rough him up. Calzaghe will drop the decision and all credibility in the US, and then sit in JFK while his commercial, non-first class flight is 3 hours delayed, while some little kid whispers to his mom "Mommy, that guy sure talks funny....." :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Why the **** would Hopkins back-out against Calzaghe, when he's already beaten fighters far superior?
