    because of Hopkins Bigoted remarks by his own admission if he loses to Calzaghe he will be a joke and the laughingstock of Boxing. He better win or face the consequences.

    It happens a lot. A lot of boxers make big statements for hype before the fight. In fact, Calzaghe said something like he'd disappear adn never come out.

    Once the fight is over nobody really cares about that.

    I think you got it backwards my friend, Hopkins has already cemented his legacy by fighting the best out there, the same cant be said for Calzaghe.

    I have Jones ahead of Hopkins, but we could also say that Hopkins destroyed the two guys Jones was knocked out by in Tarver and Johnson, I guess that could go both ways.

    Yes, and Calzaghe has successfully ducked them all, but he did stay in a Wales Holiday Inn. :lol:

    :lol: Calzaghe did nothing between the years of 97-06, but defend a lame WBO belt and successfully ducked the best fighters who resided in America at the time, he even ducked a lesser fighter in Johnson a couple times, Calzaghe just wants the names on his record now, so that means fighting a 43 yearold Hopkins, and a severely washed up Jones next, the guys a true legend let me tell you.

    LOL....No one really expects Bhop to win. The guy is 43 man! Don't get me wrong..the guy is still dangerous but lets be real. Joe is younger, faster and in his prime. Hop is older, slower and past his prime. Do the math...all hop is doing is his job as a promoter and promoting this fight. Hop's legacy is already sealed an upset would be HUGE but a loss to a prime fighter like Joe won't dent his legacy so it's really a win win situation for Hop.

    On the flip side even Joe knows that he's not facing a prime hopkins and is supremely confident of victory. The only chance Hop has is to catch Joe with counters since he's not shy about throwing punches in bunches. That is a very real senario but the likelihood of that happening is slim bc Joe is also aware of this situation.

    Jones will always be ahead of Hopkins, on the count that he beat Hopkins in his prime.

    Roy Jones is legend
