Joe Calzaghe talks to Setanta about his looming clash in Vegas with Bernard Hopkins. Calzaghe talks about his opponent, legacy and the future after the B-Hop match-up.
b-hop is the one who started this race controversy and joe could have took it as a racist remark but u just imagine the way the whole world would be on joe's case if he said i'll never get beat by a black guy........you know it!!!!!!!
he said hes got a better record of fighting people his own size i agree hopkins has faced more top oponents but i dont agree that tarver would kick calzaghes ass no way
no race just 1 place man.just let it rumble in vegas and the better man will win.talk is cheap comparisons are even cheaper.man against man .i just hate the racial element.its 2008 not 1708.glasgow scrapper.
I agree on the Jones jr Hopkins rematch, there would be some real hatred in that ring, I think Calzaghe is going to beat Hopkins but I'd still love to see him face Jones jr again. I suppose Calzaghe will go fight Jones after this match though.
I like you Joe and I hope you win...However your record should not be mentioned in the same breath as Bernard Hopkins...Trinidad (when he was widely regarded as best p4p) Tarver, Wright, Taylor, RJJ, De La Hoya...Ok he did'nt beat all these guys but still faced the better quality opposition. Much better than Eubank, Lacy and Kessler.
I hope the winner of this fight faces Roy jones, I realy hope so. The dream would be Hopkins beating Calzaghe and then Finaly the rematch between Roy and Hopkins. Both getting old , both experienced. damn that would be a fight for the ages if Jones would protect that chin of his well.
Joe's gonna kick ass...don't fool urself guys...this guy is a machine Bwhahahhahaha

Agreed, although Joe is a different class from Rees and Enzo Mac.
