    160 and 175 are just wastelands, in which fighters are either too scared to put on a few pounds to face the p4p king Joe Calzaghe, or too lazy to keep out of McDonalds

    No matter. He's coming for them all...

    :lol: You realise you are making it harder for people to support Joe don't you?

    Historically 168 is the 'nothing' division.

    Calzaghe if he had any testicles at all could have unified 168 and moved to 175 years ago, but there was always a living nightmare called Jones Jr waiting for him there so he stayed where he was, fighting crap fighters and calling himself the greatest. No surprise he's moving up now when there's no-one formidable at 175 to face. Even now I'm half expecting him to back out of the Hopkins fight, we'll have to wait and see.

    I'll be quite happy if I am the only one flying the famous Red Dragon come April. I will look like a genius. Backs against the wall stuff, me against ESB

    I'd like to disassociate myself from MasterCalzaghe at this point

    Well he does have those brittle hands.:lol:

    5 years Joe wasted. It annoys me to think what he could have done in that time. He should have taken a pay cut & spent a round KOing Ottke. Then quickly nipped to Canada to KO Eric Lucas. Whilst he was over that he could have gone to America & had his ass handed to him by a prime Jones or Hopkins. Jobs a goodun.

    Hopkins never wanted any of it, hence him ducking 6 years ago :-(

    He was happy to wait until it was a win win situation for him

    He's still going to get his ass beat by a white boi which will be somewhat embarrassing, but boxing wise it won't affect his legacy according to most on here

    So are you now prepared to concede that some people inside 'that limey country' actually know boxing and know what the deal is with this ducking Welsh gayboy?

    I'm English, in case you hadn't guessed :good

    Well at least you've exposed your real agenda

    Bash the Welsh!

    You are going to look a tit when Gareth Rees is top 10 p4p, taking over where Joe left off

    Agreed, especially with the last sentence.

    As for the brittle hands, he also has a glass spine and an inability to train when his wifes calling him nasty names - ask Glen Johnson :rofl

    Hopkins ducked Joe, and Joe never ducked Johnson, right? :nut

    Careful management/injury

    Hopkins ducked

    Subtle difference

    Nothing wrong with bashing the Welsh, the English have been doing it for centuries, no sense in stopping now.

    Yeah if you believe the Warren propaganda. The same **** he's trying to pull in The Sun about Thaxton. Can't believe that ****s got his own column although, unsurprisingly, it's in a paper that mainly appeals to the lowest common denominator.:roll:

    Actually, I think some high roller at Showtime confirmed it as the God's honest truth

    Can't be arsed finding the story mind. Until it's proven Hopkins didn't duck, I will safely presume he did
