Joe Calzaghe wants to fight Hopkins next,a 42 yr old at the end of his career.What do u think?

  • Does that sound familier Lacy and Eubank!!!!!
    Also you watch Joe fighting he slaps,when he connects with a punch.


  • Barry McGuigan took on everybody, from every world championship organisation, including a totally legendry indestructable world champion and beat him and everybody esle and unified his weight division. He is our only true world champ over the past few decades. Well, there is one other but I let you all choose your own


  • Yes it does, Joe only has one possible big money fight at 168 and that is against Mikal Kessler. Any other fights will force him to move up or down to fight guys like Jermaine Taylor, Winky Wright, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr., Chris Dawson, or Kelly Pavlik(which I would like to see him fight for a WBC title Eliminator to fight Jermaine Taylor in Cardiff with an 2 American Judges and a American Ref.


  • he will proz win but he has to retire soon or he will lose


  • I think he wants the money, and he'd love to have the fight in England. There's nothing wrong with this, but if I were Hopkins taking a fight with Calzaghe, I'd make him come over here, to Vegas or Atlantic City. After all, Hopkins is the bigger name here.


  • I think in terms of Joe's career it is a wise decision. He wants to fight a guy who would not be able to match his activity and consistent action (even if his punches are slaps). Instead, Calzaghe will get a huge pay day and the high profile match that his career has lacked through his long reign as champion.


  • As s super-middleweight, there are not too many big-money fights to be made. Super-middle has always been a European-dominated division, and you saw what happened when Calzaghe went against the best offering from the US in Jeff Lacy. Joe needs to fight Bernard, because he could seriously have trouble with a guy like Jermaine Taylor if he chose to go down in weight. No one else will bring in any money, unless Roy Jones wants to hit the treadmill and give it a shot. Boxing these days is all about the money, even for a great talent like Joe, he needs a payoff at some point to retire from.


  • Well that 42 year old cleaned out the middleweight division and has decisively beat most all of the contenders. He is not an easy fight for Calzaghe just one that would make him money. He offered the current champ Taylor $4 million and is looking to fight any big American name. Give him credit for trying to find some big money fights that may cement his legacy.


  • seems a bit pointless to me. joe should be fighting someone younger and fitter.


  • Calzaghe is one of the best fighters Wales have ever produced, i think he's a fantastic fighter, if Hopkins is the best opposition they can find, so be it...


  • I think "Stay at Home Joe" Calzaghe would rather fight anyone besides a puncher. He's far overrated. He refuses to fight Mikkel Kessler. Right now he's trying to set up a fight with Jermain Taylor (also overrated)... ANYTHING to avoid a real fighter. The guy says he takes on all the best fighters. I say rubbish. He'll take one or two more fights he knows he can win, then retire before he has to fight someone who's a real threat.


  • Calzaghe is like Mayweather - he ducks the guys who he thinks can hurt him! I think Kessler would drill a hole straight through his head. Sidhood is right about Calzaghe's slap punches. Report Abuse
