Thread: Calzaghe: Hopkins can wait!

Unbeaten WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has hit back at Bernard Hopkins - and told him he must get in the queue if he wants to fight him.

Following his laboured points win over Ronald "Winky" Wright on Saturday night, Hopkins was vocal in calling out the hard-hitting Welshman.

"I want Joe Calzaghe next," Hopkins said. "Tell him to come over here, and I'm going to beat him, too."

But Calzaghe, who faces undefeated WBC and WBA World Champion Mikkel Kessler in a massive unification clash on November 3 at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, says Hopkins has already had his chance - and passed it up.

"Hopkins can just get in the line and wait for me because of all the messing around he has caused me. I was all set to fight him a couple of years ago, and he doubled his financial demands after at first agreeing to the fight," said Calzaghe.

"If he was really that keen to fight me, he would have signed up there and then but he got cold feet and then tried to save face.
