Steve Bunce just said on Setanta that Hopkins is gonna hold out signing to fight Joe until after the RJJ Trinidad fight, because if RJJ wins, RJJ-Hopkins becomes a bigger fight for Hopkins than Joe.... Thoughts?
What situation? This is bull****. People are blowing this out of proportion. Hopkins WILL beat Calzaghe if they met.
This is nonsense. Hopkins has gone on record saying the only fight that matters to him right now is Joe Calzaghe. The only way he would hold off until after the RJJ/Trinidad fight is if he needed more leverage. From the reports that both fighters have agreed to a 50/50 split it doesn't sound like either fighter is "holding out."
sounds like a smart move for Hopkins. poor Calzaghe, noone will fight him cause they simply don't need to
you're a dumbass!!! you quote me and say what i said is the truth and then say a huge load of ****ing bull****! don't associate my posts to your ****ed up rants!
Definately agree with that, Calzaghe is rated that highly because he ducked for 9 years then took on 2 significant fights....fair enough he won them but this unbeaten record **** is being taken into account too. If Hopkins had faced the level of bums Calzaghe had faced he'd be unbeaten himself right now.
So what was Hopkins excuse back in 2002 then? Whatever spin you Calzaghe fans put on it the FACT is this - Calzaghe has been 'talking about' fighting great fighters for years. Hopkins has BEEN fighting great fighters for years. No amount of bluster and bull**** from either side can change that cold hard fact.
It was a pure ***** move on Calzaghes part, fact is he just didn't fancy the job - he disgusted Johnson, Johnson said so at the time. Imagine if Ali had pulled out of fights every time he had personal problems? Or Holyfield every time someone slapped a paternity suit on him :shock:
