Hopkins Calzaghe face off

[TheCaliCapitalist]

They should have rematched.

[edwards21416]

boxing royalty Calzaghe v bernard" the white boy" hopkins.LOL

[edwards21416]

the white boy that was funny he'll never live that down they should change his name to bernard the white boy hopkins,if he ever fights a brit the fans should just sout white boy over and over it is that funny what was he thinking,he just looks even more stupid than he alrady was

[comnieto]

why didn't calzaghe wait till bhop was in his 50's, it would've been easier to defeat him.

[robster2408]

joe calzaghe is such a good geezer you can just tell

[geiner66]

FOX NEWS ALERT: JOE CALZAGHE TO STAR IN OUTLAW JOSEY WALES REMAKE: News just in JOE CALZAGHE has been chosen to star in the remake of 1976 flick THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES starring Clint Eastwood. He was chosen because of an interview with SETANTA 24/01/08He said he wasnt interested in fighting ROY JONES who was "PAST HIS BEST". MR CALZAGHE also said that;"AFTER HOPKINS MY No.1 FIGHT WOULD BE THE WINNER OF KELLY PAVLIK-JERMAIN TAYLOR" the name of the remake is to be called: THE COWARD FROM WALES!

[jannik232323]

Hopkins your fucking racist,,..

[duggiboy123]

wha are they chanting

p.s calzaghe p4p number 1

[advent8888888888]

EASY EASY EASY EASY EASY

[justwatchingthemedia]

What was Hopkins and Calzaghe saying to each other at this time?

[p4pWar]

seriously if hopkins was 4 years younger he would have won the fight comfortably..

hopkins was undisputed champion at the age of 40... if the fight was in 2005 joe would have got owned... joe basically did get owned, hopkins technically outboxed him and made him look silly

[iamkeano59]

dont talk shit

[myoor12]

im from the states man, but in my mind at no time was i worried that hopkins might win that fight. it was a clear win for calzaghe, hopkins just punched and held the whole night.

[p4pWar]

calzaghe was shittin his pants when hopkins squared up to him, he was jittering and shit about 10 minutes later

[advent8888888888]

like hopkins did in the ring, hopkins would of ran out of vegas if he could. CALZAGHE IS THE BEST.

[myoor12]

too bad he couldnt back up all the shit he talked, looks like he lost to a white boy.

[b1GR33Nm0nSt3rRrRrRr]

@myoor12 hopkins was robbed.

[R0ckyB4lboa]

face it people. Calzaghe winning has nothing about Hopkins being black. or getting screwed over. Calzaghe is simply the better fighter.

[p4pWar]

no. its simply not

[badintentions2]

@R0ckyB4lboa how naive is that. calzaghe never went to the US and fought jonesd and hopkisn when they were in their prime. there's a good reason for that.

[mizofan]

@badintentions2 Yes there is a very good reason why Joe didn't fight Hopkins earlier- Hopkins chickened out when the fight was lined up, suddenly demanded a lot more money than originally agreed, knowing it was ridiculous. Then when they did fight, Hopkins showed his character, or lack of it, again, with his holding, butting and shameful faking to get a 5 minute rest, to avoid being exhausted and stopped. And a cry baby loser.

[badintentions2]

@mizofan hopkins didnt 'chicken out' of it, joe was a high risk-low reward fighter who wasn't known outside of europe. why do you think it's always the fighters who fail to make a name and a rep in the states who always end up never getting defining fights against prime fighters?

ricky hatton showed how it was done by leaving warren and crossing the pond, and nobody is questioning his career or resume because of it.

it's not rocket science, its just understanding the business of boxing

[mizofan]

@badintentions2 Yes, Joe was high risk low reward to fight- yet so many of his detractors are unduly critical of him not fighting Hopkins earlier and the record needs setting straight. In any event, any decent contender he didn't fight over the years was beaten by someone he did- he dominated the division. And Joe only got proper attention in the US after demolishing Lacy- US superiority complex and insularity are largely responsible for the problem of making a name. Maybe Warren didn't help

[badintentions2]

@mizofan you're right, warren didn't help. it's great to see amir khan leaving his stable early.

but it's not about "US superiority complex", it's about a corrupt sport led by greedy federations which stop top fighters meeting each other - because some choose to milk the system.

joe was a world class fighter, but a fighter who never truly tested himself. boxing is the only sport i can think of where fighters can take liberties like that.

[meyerlansky26]

Drwladimirklitschko u are a fucking retard how can someone watch that fight and seriously think hopkins won he has no heart he fought like a pussy the entire fight.

[itfc4]

poor hopkins. did he get beat by a white boy.

the racist bastard got wot was coming to him.

[muffwa1]

calzaghe landed with the most clean punches, therefore making him the winner. yes i agree that hopkins might feel hard done by, and he fought well but when he started with the low blow bull shit it was a sign to me that he knew joe was all over him like a bad smell,and he knew he could have been knocked down for the first time in his career,yes clever but poor sportmanship. boxing is an art,not just swing a right hand and you win. Joe learnt what Hopkins tactic was in the 1st and worked him good

[SesameBagel]

You must be gutted now mate hahahahaha!! U look like a tit!

[Drwladimirklitschko]

hopkin was going to be fucked by judges because he a black, even at such a old age he destroyed calzaghe.

hopkin was soo right that he will never let a white boy beat him, also hopkin talk about how black people use to get raped, robbed and slaved by racist people.

The judges yesterday showed some of the robbery hopkin was talking about

[gutbucket16]

But a white boy did beat him. Fair and sqaure. You're not a great boxing fan if you didn't notice the difference in landed punches.

[JGod101]

your a fucking idiot, the judges were all american! the race card isnt gona save him now, he got hit with 270 + punches, and he barely landed shit

[whereisthebigshow]

funny then how the judges were amercian & hopkin was amercian bt joe was from wales

[jefford285]

The malcolm x wannabe got his old lazy ass kicked around the ring, haha

[darkwispers]

Okie

As we've all seen yesterdai

u were proved rong

Hopkin had his ass beat

Bet u feel stupid now init

[simplelife88393]

Elegant, just because our fans show more passion towards our sporting heros, there's no need to get touchy. We are not toothless you see.... and it's fact that America is 1/3 obese.

[ptpt1]

How did it feel to get beat by a white boy? Eh, punk? Eh? Eh?

Fucking have a bit of that.

[underpantswedgy]

Hopkins is just a criminal punk deluded idiot! motherfu88er who was somebodies bitch when he was in the can. Joe showed him who the daddy is and always was..hahaha!!!! He sent hopkins hopping outta the ring! hahahaha!! Rule Britannia!!

[dumbNAZIrobbedHOPKIN]

we all know that when the fight go to a split decision. The home fighter usually get the decison

But since hopkin was a black muslim, he was never going to get the decison.

Even at the end of the 11th round, Enzo calzaghhe said to Joe calzaghe that you have to ko hopkin to win the fight.

Calzaghe lost clearly to a very old Hopkin that was way over the hill, I score a unaminous decision to hopkin.

But what-ever angle you look at it from, ancient Hopkin expose calzaghe as a fake

[gutbucket16]

Black muslim had nothing to do with it you retard. Calzaghe clearly out boxed the old cunt. Are you fucking blind?

[BlueGoatGuy]

I could take either one of them. I think the best fighters in the world don't box. It's too bad.

[BlueGoatGuy]

I could take either one of them. I think the best fighters in the world don't box.  It's too bad.

[thomastarrant1]

your stupid cos this is the hatton vs mayweather fight

[gutbucket16]

So obvious the old man would lose! Ha! Fuck your yankee pussy criminal fighter. He can go back to tha hood with his tail between his legs.

[luisrene8]

Just like Hatton

[luisrene8]

Just like Hatton

[BritishBulldog341]

THE MOST PUNCHES LANDED ON HOPKINS!AND Calzaghe MORE AGRESSIVE, hopkins tryed every dirty trick in the book also head butts time wasting grapples and non conencting pecker shots however first round was a nice knock down but calzaghe got points after the 4th round i seen it he just threw more punches truth is he was just faster than benard however bernard showed one hellava fight for a 43 yo was getting Pretty close he lost because he thought he had it (when he only had it for 3 - 4 rounds)WALES!

[rumblebee1975]

calzaghe won fair an square 45-0 hopkins your a dirty fighter

[Acronym77]

J.O.E. C.A.L.Z.A.G.H.E. = "Jabs Of European Could Administer 'Lasers', Zapping Afro-americans Great Heart/Energy!"

[oroge]

bullshit.

[gutbucket16]

The fact he had a hard life and needed to turn to crime just makes me want to see him hurt even more. All this gangsta shit. It's so gay. I hope the old man gets fucked over.

[waldo197720]

Why did Jo step up .....and then back off?

[gutbucket16]

He was suddenly over-come by the stench of filth. You can just read his lips: "Whoa, step back there and have a bath old man."

[rosler33]

pity hopkins had to turn it in2 a race fight black against white bullshit, thats a real 1980s don king way of selling at fight , calzaghe welsh celtic italian fighting spirit will hopefully teach hopkins a lesson.

[oigivup]

i hope b hop wins. all this hype for joe is the same as hatton.

[StiffOneTwo]

Calzaghe has underestimated Hopkins, hopkins will be robbing the rounds, calzaghes not as good as hopkins

[Hesquito]

"Hopkins turned to crime early in his life, by the age of thirteen he was mugging people and had been stabbed three times."

Just posting that quote again so yanks realise who they're trying to stick up for haha :)

[R2KDood]

black people get away with it like B-hop and Chris Rock all the fuckin time. Hypocticall world, If calzaghe Said he'd never loose to a nigger or a black guy the fight would be Cancelled and Calzaghe would be fined and in court.

[spagunit41]

your too right ....

anyway, come on jc!! do it for the welsh and italians!

[R2KDood]

lmao ElegantElliot i dunno whats more funny, your stupid Youtube name or you pathetic comment. At the end of the day, British boxers are comfortable fighting away from Britain because of how well supported they are. And i dunno what your moaning about Mr Elegant, you americans like a bit of HYPE before and during most Sporting events and us Assholes do the trick. Calfaggy's gonna fkn tear his black ass apart. And dont even think about callin me racist,

[liverpool80000seater]

white boy night april 19

[tarverDESTROYwood]

who cares when a bum beat a old legend. Just look at those bum that beat old Ali and over the hill Tyson. Do those bum deserve credit, so why should calzaghe deserve credit

[foulmouthfacts]

read mate read??

calzaghe has been challengin roy jones kessler them ALL FOR AGES

then jeff lacy came alone.... didnt even tough joe THAS WHY HE DESERVES CREDIT

people have taken skill out of boxing and replaced it with money

[Compy01]

I will be there to watch Hopkins fail, and his pride die. Calzage will prevail!

[11bollocks]

calzaghes a better fighter than hatton for sure on his day i think if hes up for this then i think he'll beat hopkins easily on points

[darryllloyd123]

hopkins gets a nose bleed hen he comes out of his outatude

[blakeyboi1]

hopkins got a mashed up face the rasist twat calzaghe atw

[charles118xx]

he would never let a white beat him.

[liverpool80000seater]

hopkins would of made stacks more money fighting calzaghe in britain,hopkins is scared to fight outside his comfort zone

[joelakafuzzy]

haha what a joker hopkins is. He's about to be beat by a white boy.

[rickforesight]

I wanted Hopkins to win when i heard about this fight, but after Hopkins said he would never lose to a white boy, i hope he gets knocked the fuck out.

[Ultramanlives]

Granted Hopkins is an idiot with his remarks sometimes and u can tell he's sorry about it now bc he wont even comment about that situation anymore i think Joe got under his skin honestly and he erupted at the hattonmayweather fight.. im still gonna go for him although azz kickin doesnt hv a color race religion on its nametag at all..

[deebone225]

hopkins tries all that prison thug shit trying to be a bully, what a racist fuck

[SSSSSt8thousand]

Joe will be all over Hopkins, he will get destroyed m8

[DarrellPeel]

Hopkins is going to get a bit of a shock i think.

[jam8891]

I hope Joe beats the shit out of this ignorant, big headed RACIST cunt!! Joe is a top bloke in and out of the ring B-Flop is just a wanker in general!

[JasonLoudest]

The fight is never over until its over, no one really knows who will win until the fights over. Anything can happen. They have both faced challenging fighters in the past and this will be the ultimate fight, America Vs. Europe.

[brakie1978]

I dont realy see it as America vs Europe. Statements like that just bring out the worst in these youtube numbskulls who seem obsessed with country vs country.

Its a great fight between 2 great fighters. Boxing seems to hav gotten its act together this last year or so and is starting to deliver some fantastic fights.

Enjoy............

[umiumil]

joe looked scared ass hell

[sheepshagger2481]

team calzaghe will whip and spank this yank big time!!!!!

[gjs1]

hey bernard, as you have taken your forum offline i wanted to tell you that your mum wants you to quit now before a white boy kicks your ass good and proper, she said that as i was fingering her pretty ripped welly ass!

[gjs1]

calazghe will never loose to a shoe shiner

[paullwebber]

I have never called a fight wrong. I think this is a hard fight for calzaghe, pros like hopkins can take a lot away, he is a good body puncher and knows a lot of tricks and is very experienced. However I believe it will come down to handspeed, fitness and heart and I believe calzaghe will win, but he will have to train scared. I believe calzaghe will stop him.

[SixFoHopper]

Calzaghe backs up pretty quick when B-Hop comes over to him..........

[gunners9191]

shut the fuck up one white boy will beat him calzaghe will kill him......and ill kill you bitch

[coldas1ce15]

dunno its a hard one to call. clazaghe has an advantage in some respect because he is younger quicker but his downfall is that he has never fought at l/h and in the states. I hope calzaghe wins get one over the yanks for the hatton mayweather embarrassment. love to beat the yanks!!!!!!!

[sorgnthem]

hopkins will bust that ass...

[umiumil]

hopkins will win

[notsoslick7]

ye after all hopkins style is so slick,if u call clinching,low blows,fighting dirty and expecting a decision then hes the slickest of all haha

[gangsterNGENTLEMEN2]

hobkins all the fucking way

[NigerianSamuelPeter]

bum only beat great fighter over the hill

Can calzaghe be a 'bum' when he beat the ancient Hopkin or will calzaghe lose and establish himself as the worst fighter in history

let see april 19

[Lovekanyewest]

I agree that calzaghe is the biggest bum ever

and it true that beating fighter way past their best mean nothing!

Calzaghe himself said that a younger hopkin lost to taylor twice, and tayloy was destroyed by pavilok

[Drwladimirklitschko]

Obviously any big muscular guy would destroy calzaghe and disable him.

how many time did you see calzaghe ko 12 stone people with 1 punch,

calzaghe throw about 1000 of punches in his fight and still can't ko the 12 stoner.

if A 17 or a 18 stone muscular guy clip calzaghe, there no doubt calzaghe would get ko badly.

But also a big guy could slam you and do all-kind of thing to you

[notsoslick7]

what the fuck r u on about,its a boxing match u fucking idiot.

[bigsleep32]

Nobody has ever knocked Hopkins out nobody has ever even hurt him so even a die hard Calzaghe fan wouldn't say he's going to just knock him out. Honestly I don't think Hokins has much chance of knocking out Calaghe either. So it's going to come down to boxing ability, stamina and boxing smarts. I truly think it's going to be a very close fight and probably hard to score. Hopkins has never been truly dominated. Roy Jones was the widest margin of deafeat for Hopkins.

[UncleTheOne]

the might Segundo Mercado might have something to say about that. put hopkins on his arse twice in their first fight.

[UncleTheOne]

that's why they have weight classes in boxing. or are you that dim?

[airbbll08]

hopkins is a punk, he talks all the shits about how bad he would beat his opponents. and when they get inside the ring, all he does is clinch.

[suicide2killu]

how old is calzaghe and hopkins?

[MolestedChimp]

dnt no about joe but hoppkins is 42

[proudy]

joe is 36 hopkins wil b 43 4 the fight

[Lovekanyewest]

I actually weight 280lb of muscle but am only 6ft 4

do you know what would happen to calzaghe if you put him in front of me, I would pick him up and smash his back to the ground and leave him for dead.

he wouldn't even get to fight the ancient hopkin

[kswizzy99]

calzaghe would knock you out before you could pick him up, it doesn't matter how big you are.

[chinnygooch]

fucking hell get over yourself im 5 11" and about 12 stone and id drop you like a sack of potatos

[bigsleep32]

If you are so big and strong why aren't you making millions of dollars boxing? If they had American idol for boxing you'd be William Hung. Soemone who thinks they can do something but are just laughed at how badly they really are.

[Lovekanyewest]

tyson was (undisputed) heavyweight champ of the world at 21, that mean ye had 4 of the belt

jeff lacy is 31 year old and he couldn't even win 2 belt since he turned pro.

Calzaghe become undisputed world champ at 45 or 35 and he bearly won the fight.

[ronMexico121]

Barely won the fight?

Calzaghe absolutely hammered him. he was heard in the corner saying "He can't punch for shit!".

Lay off the steroids. Pick up a book.

[bigsleep32]

You didn't even see the fight my friend. The only thing you saw of it was that 2 second clip of him saying he can't hit for shit. You know it and I know it.

[ronMexico121]

-No, I watched the fight. Lacy got beaten to the punch over and over again.

-Don't get me wrong, I like Lacy, I'm a big fan of him. I like his fighting style as well as his out-of-ring persona. Furthermore, I'm Scottish so I'm not one to applaud Calzaghe just because he's from the UK. I'm being objective here. You're being a 'patriot'.

[Lovekanyewest]

there many russian boxer out there that have undefeated amateur record and undefeated professional record, even at the least they have avenged their amateur losses.

Quite a few have a gold medal and the worst fighter from their country at the least qualified for the olympic

you honestly don't realise that calzaghe is the worst fighter to ever step into a ring.

Even danny william defining fight was not against a 40year old tyson

william did fight another prime fighter Vitali Klitschko

[proudy]

do u know anything about boxing? he got messed about by selection 4 the olympics he can only fight who is put infront of him and he has never failed u americans r full of shit 1st u's say lacy - 'the next tyson' would beat calzaghe, he got destroyed, so u made up excuses sayin he wasnt that good anyway jus face it calzaghe in a league of his own for super middle and will defeat most if not all light heavies out there

[bigsleep32]

Take another bite of that denial sandwich pal. Jeff Lacy's last name should be "Who". If that's the best best American fighter Calzaghe has faced he's got problems. True you you can only beat who's in front of you so Butterbean is one of the great fighters ever, then.

[UncleTheOne]

great revisionist work there mate. tell me, which round did you have lacy taking calzaghe out in? give the man his dues ffs. if you can't see what a skilled boxer he is then i suggest you find a new sport, something where nationalistic bullshit is greatly accepted.

[bigsleep32]

Un like you I don't really care who wins this fight. I don't root for people just because they are American. That makes my opinion totally unbiased. I will give the man his due when he beats Hopkins, is that fair? Jeff Lacy was a talented up and coming fighter but Hokins he's not. I won't even play the age card if hopkins loses. I'll say this it will be a very close fight and will definitly go to the scorecaeds. Nobody has totally dominated Hopkins and Calaghe won't be the first.

[Lovekanyewest]

anyone who put the word great and calzaghe together must be on drugs!

Joe calzaghe has lost many time in his amateur career without avenging the losses.

calzaghe was such a bad fighter that he never even qualified for the olympc

Also a softie like robin reid beat calzaghe as a professional as everyone witness it.

Once calzaghe turn pro he then carefully pick his opponent like hatton.

Just like people have mention that their either fight 'over the hill' fighter or 'bum'

[Drwladimirklitschko]

Nigerian samuel peter is speaking the truth you can still see the hatton and mayweather on youtube, all the idot fan claim he the greatest ever fighter form this britain .

Cos the fan were humiliated, those same fan are claiming that another bum from their country is the greatest ever british fighter

But hatton manage to beat over the hill fighter

let see if calzaghe can do the same in april

[proudy]

hatton was never seen as the greatest ever fighter from britain. he is jus a popular fighter from the way he acts in and out the ring. he isnt the best jus has the best fanbase every1 in britain knows calzaghe lewis and naz r they best boxers this country has produced in a long time and calzaghe will prove this by destroyin any1 put infront of him

[calzagheydwi]

naz would beat hatton enzo joe dont make me laugh, mayweather was over the hill and he was not even focused 100% and he still beat hatton imagine if he was in his prime, A FUCKIN DISASTER!! calzaghe 2nd best fighter ,again dont make me laugh ,watch hatton fight and watch joe fight , total different league

Samuelpeter do you know what your talking about!! Hatton best ever british fighter !! dont be a silly boy!!

[calzagheydwi]

if joe calzaghe was not welsh he would be recognized as the worlds greatest EVER boxer but because he is welsh he is being put in the same category as naz&hatton(a great fighter) all you yanks said LACY was the next best thing! and what did joe do .... not just beat him but humiliate him!! say no more!!! joe best to walk the earth !!People say ali the best, not takin anything away he was not just great he was one of the best , but he lost !! JOE AINT!!!! bring bhop on!!

[NigerianSamuelPeter]

not happy with floyd beating britain greatest ever fighter.

So now the 2nd best fighter (calzaghe) from britain will try and do what hatton done in the past

And that is fighting fighter over the hill

Good look calzaghe maybe you will become the next hatton

[ooMESSIAHoo]

As much as i can't stand Mayweather as a person i think he's one of the greatest boxers to have ever got in the ring. And, as much i love Hatton i knew that he wouldn't beat Floyd, but if anyone is honest they would admit that the referee was f*cking awful. He spoiled the fight and you could even see it on the face of De la hoya.

[NigerianSamuelPeter]

50% of mayweather title fight have gone the distant but hatton couldn't even do that so I wonder how great that make hatton

[NigerianSamuelPeter]

so i wonder how much of a bum the people are that duck prince naseem.

Hatton was ko but naseem just lost on point.

also mayweather was retired and lost hunger and also mayweather spent more enery on dancing with the star. Mayweather was too busy showing off and chiling out and making jokes.

Ricky hatton was 100% serious all the way and ricky hatton also said he was never in better shape.

[XgermanhitmanX]

Hopkins is gonna get his head beat off of his shoulders!!!

[ooMESSIAHoo]

Dude what are you on about? Prince Naseem was in a different weight class than the boxers you listed, So how can you compare? Even though Naz is british he was a cherry picking bum. He went up against an awesome opponent in the shape of Barrera and lost, no one has really heard from him since.

[Lovekanyewest]

lmfao at 'they were scared to death!

prince naseem would destroy

enzo, bruno, calzaghe, hatton, cooper, gavin all those faggot with his hand tied behind his back.

this is why they all ducked prince naseem

Now russia is up your asss so watch out!

[ooMESSIAHoo]

Hopkins made references to his age because he's preempting his lose. Calzaghe has offered to fight top fighters many times, for example; Roy Jones Jr, Antonio Tarver, Jermain Taylor, Clinton Woods and Hopkins but they have all turned the fights down. Why? because they're scared to death of Calzaghe!

[Lovekanyewest]

Hopkin actually said he was on his rocking chair at home and heard that joe calzaghe called him out after the kessler win.

The fact is that average joe wll gain nothing by beating a grandad hopkin.

For example, name me one great fighter over the age of 40 that hasn't lost by a bum.

So calzaghe will just put himself in that 'bum' catergory if average joe can win the fight

[me1we1]

Stupid, cover your own ass and very cowardly argument.obviously not a boxing fan.
