Joe Calzaghe V Bernard Hopkins

Pound for pound

comment on the article

"I'll never let a white boy beat me," Hopkins said after being riled by Calzaghe who referred to his two losses to Jermain Taylor. From BBC website

Surely if Joe come out and said that about a black person he would be done for Racism!!! I'm sure it is just Hopkin's way of trying to get under joes skin but still out of order.

Come on Joe get the fight arranged and beat this punk!!!

Who do you think will win????

BERNARD HOPKINS IS NEVER GOING TO BEAT JOE CALZAHGE.IM AMERICAN,IVE WATCHED BOTH GUYS FOR AS LONG AS THEYVE BEEN AROUND AND BERNARD IS JUST AWFUL TO WATCH! BORING! I SAW HIM AT THE HALL OF FAME IN CANASTOTA ,NY BACK 8 YRS AGO AND HE WAS BY HIMSELF ALL THE TIME BECAUSE NOBODY CARED ABOUT HIM OR LIKED HIM.ILL NEVER FORGET THAT,HOW STRANGE THAT THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION WAS ALONE THE WHOLE TIME.NOW OSCAR GAVE HIM A JOB AND YOU CANT GET RID IF THE GUY. LOOK, HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED AMAZING THINGS AS CHAMPION BUT AS BEING AN EXCITING FIGHTER,NO WAY.JOE CALZAGHE IS NOT ONLY A GREAT ,UNDERRATED CHAMPION BUT A NICE ,NORMAL GUY THAT YOU CAN RELATE TO . I LOVE HIM,HE IS MY PICK FOR P4P AND I HOPE HE SHUTS UP HOPKINS AND GETS RID OF HIM FOR GOOD OR ELSE WE'LL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HIM FOR ANOTHER 10 YRS. AS FOR THE WHITE BOY REMARK,ITS ALL PROMOTION.BELIEVE ME,HE KNOWS DAMN WELL CALZAGHE IS NO ONE TO TAKE LIGHTLY AND THE ONLY REASON HE WILL FIGHT JOE IS FOR THE MONEY BECAUSE LOSEING ISNT SO BAD TO HIM BECAUSE HE'S FELT IT BEFORE AND DECIDED IT ISNT SO BAD,HIS RECORDS INTACT ANY WAY. HATTON,YOU SHOULD HAVE USED YOUR JAB! YOU LOOKED LIKE AN AMATEUR RUNNING HEAD FIRST INTO THE FASTEST MAN IN THE BOXING WORLD! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING MATE? BUMMER!

I hope Calzaghe trashes Hopkins in the ring. There really is no place for racist comments like that, in a way at least he admits what he feels unlike others who keep it hidden inside but say the 'right' things in public.

What the **** you on nature boy.....ur comments are so right that the strongest man in the world Marius Pudzenowski is white, that 90% of all the strongest competetors are white, how delusional can you get. In fact dont answer that after considerin your comment im expecting more delusional trash.

In all honesty, 99 percent of all of those strongman competitors, including Marius Pudzianowski use some sort of performance enhancing drug....so if you want to hang your hat on the fact that those strongmen are white, by all means, go ahead.

I've got no time for Bernard Hopkins using such cheap tactics to sell a fight. Racism has no place in sport at all and this is inexcusable.

Persoanlly, Joe Calzaghe V Bernard Hopkins is the poor man's Hatton Vs Mayweather. Calzaghe is past his best, he's still a talent but only in Europe and Hopkins is looking for another pay day.

Just goes to show what little boxing talent there is out there at the moment!!
