"[Calzaghe] called out my name. I’m in my rocking chair at home, minding my business, playing with my eight-year-old daughter, ready to turn 43 on Martin Luther King Day [January 15] when I hear him call my name out."

I cant see this fight happnin even Bhop is saying he's old before the fight happens im starting to feel this would be worse for Joe to take this fight.....

I'm hoping JT beats Kelly pavlik in the rematch so joe has someone to fight who has no excuses..

Anyone else thinking even if Joe cains B-Hops ass it would just be a pointles fight causing Joe more hassle

Fuckin 'ell! No wonder he always looks so happy at the fights.

"So after I picked up my cane and put my teeth in I got up and stood in the middle of the room and thought, ‘Well, maybe I still got it a little bit."

Love it.

Hopkins is a great waffler and seems a genuinely interesting/intelligent character it's just a shame his fights are so bloody boring.


CC, for good little read.

The shame is that he is such a dirty fighter. I mean I would love to like a guy that was once an armed robber, converted to thrilling fight fans everywhere, and is undoubtedly skilled.............but after all that head butting and holding and general poor sportsmanship with Winky........esp. after he had to go to the effort of getting Wright up like a million weight class: how can you cheer for him?

Please,for every 3 things Bernard does,he usually has 5 done to him,based on reputation alone
Interesting the difference between perception/reality
Holyfield is an incredibly dirty fighter,but it rarely gets bandied about,Bernard can fight a totally clean fight,or go to war with you,all depends how you want to play,Ive never seen Holyfield fight a totally clean fight as a heavy.
But who has the reputation?

So you're saying that Wright fought him dirty? OR that Bernard anticipated Wright fighting dirty? I don't buy that for a minute.

I doubt he actually does much "work." Hes probably getting payed for his name and being at the events and pressers. Good for him though.
