If Calzaghe leads on points, will Hopkins disqualify himself?

No.

 

i hope not

 

No way.

Bernard Hopkins has had the mentality of a champion during his entire career. If things are going really bad for him, sure, I can see him putting the foul tactics into overdrive. Just because he'd be wiling to try anything and everything to disrupt Calzaghe's rhythm and concentration.

But would he purposefully do something to get himself DQ'd? I'd be shocked if it happened, to say the least.
​

 

A better question would be would the ref dare disqualify Hopkins in a big fight in Vegas especially when it could be his last?.

 

bernard may fight dirty, but he is too respectful to do that surely

 

I couldn't see that happening. He will want to go down fighting even if he was losing badly.

 

No way man! He didn't do that against Jones.

 

I dunno. I think he was just trying to intimidate Joe rather than any strong racist feelings.
Or if he is prejudiced, wouldn't quiting be more humilating than being outclassed?

 

Dont be stupid .

 

hmmm, good point!

 

Stupid thread. You don't know Hopkins apparently, just look at his track record, he has credibility and is not going to blatantly foul himself out just because some things aren't going his way.

 

Nope...
He might be DQ´ed, but he would never do that on purpose.
He might say things that seem a bit stupid at times, but the man isn´t stupid
for real. This might be one of his last fights if not the last, and win/lose I think
he´ll be man enough to handle it properly.
