If Calzaghe wants to put the haters to rest, and Hopkins is for real about fightin...

Calzaghe will never fight Hopkins again. He got lucky when he met a sub par Nard who was not 100% in their fight . A fit in shape focussed Nard takes Calzaghe's 0 giving him a good ass whuppin. Joe knows this himself thats why he retired

 

NOTHING will put the haters to rest. He realised this long ago. And is happy with his lot.

 

he is retired,you got more chance of hearns entering it.

 

i am not the biggest calzaghe fan but i think he beat hopkins it is just a pity he did not have the desire in him to fight hopkins and jones five years earlier. and i think hopkins and calzaghe both peformed below there best when they fought

 

He is an ATG but at his age I doubt Calzaghe could last the tournament. Maybe he would fight the winner but he'd be 40 then and out the ring for over 3 years, so I doubt we'll see that.

 

That's right. Why would Hopkins bother to come into a fight against the undefeated, undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion of the World who throws punches quicker than the pistons on a formula one car, in peak condition and focussed? I mean it's not like his reputation was on the line. It's not as if he made derogatory comments about Calzaghe such as "I'd never let a white boy beat me" that he had to back up is it?

I suspect Hopkins stepped into the fight against Calzaghe without a care in the world having just returned from a six month vacation in the Carribean. Boy, he must have been surpised when he lost!
