    Of course they liked each other..... I heard they had a secret affair after the fight.... it was just sexual tension. :good.... trust me.

    I got the feeling Bernard was being Bernard, hamming it up a bit

    But Joe took it personally and genuinely disliked Bernard as a result

    I was at the hatton weigh in when they were having a go at each other and Hopkins was just playing the pantomime villian to the British crowd. He was in his element!!

    Hopkins got to Calzaghe, it was very funny seeing JC bite and take it all personal. It was just business for Bhop.

    It was an arranged pantomime.

    They knew in advance that it was an extremly hard sell as no-one wanted to see Calzaghe in the US and Hopkins was 42 and no-one in Britian wanted to see him.

    So, just like Hopkins' previous fight against Wright, he concieved an idea that would make it more appealing.
