    Calzaghe was black?

    Sadly I get the feeling he would.

    He didnt give jermain taylor much credit. took him 15 years to give rjj credit. Just doesnt like losing. He's probably giving Calzaghe so much grief coz he thinks if he beats pavlik he'll get a rematch. Fu**ing hope not.

    Probably not, Hopkins is like James Toney in a sense, he will never give his oppenent credit unless they were able to knock them out or thoroughly beat them. I honestly thought Taylor did a better job against Hopkins the first time, than Calzaghe did against Hopkins earlier this year.

    I agree. Hopkins is classless.I have no respect for the man.He talked a good fight and then stank the joint out by holding all night.

    No.

    Hopkins honestly feels that the last time he was truly beaten was by Roy Jones, and all he's saying is that he felt he won a close fight. What do you want him to give Calzaghe credit for? Nearly every fighter who loses a close fight believes he won.

    No way no how. Hops should have given credit regardless... Still, I think he would STFU if Joe did something that KP is about to, and that is to try to take old Bernard's head off.
