Joe Calzaghe has wished rival Bernard Hopkins a Merry Christmas and added a New Year warning if they meet: You will lose.
The Undisputed Super-Middleweight king ended 2007 with a spectacular win over Mikkel Kessler in his record tenth year as WBO world champion and has now set his sight on a showdown against the American legend.
"Ol Popkins" LMFAO
LOL did he really send that?
It's on Frank Warrens site and in all the newspaper's haha, this fight has to happen now.
awesome !!!!! I hope it happens !!!
LMAO!!!!....Good for Joe...His team got one in on Hopkins....Bernard thinks he is the only one who can create some chaos and get in a dig.....Great MindGame by Calzaghe....Hopkins thought he was the man by trying to punk Joe out at the PBF/Hatton build up presser....Now Joe called himout in front of the world.....Classic....
And to think there is enough room on Joes waist to put the Ring LHW title just above his SMW one :D
Quality Joke ;D
Good stuff :laugh: Can't wait to see what rebuttal Hopkins will throw Joe's way? I can only imagine ;D I hope this finally happens.
I was originally against this fight...but Calzaghe has his mind on a couple of big money fights and he deserves it at this stage in his career.
He will beat Hopkins with plenty to spare this late in the game, and fair enough. Hopkins is so inactive and is older than time. If you are holding onto a fat Winky Wright and having serious issues with a Taylor that has since shown himself up numerous times...perhaps its time to give it a rest. Seeing as he wont then Calzaghe is going to have to hammer the point home good and proper and once and for all.
I respect all Hopkins has done over the years but Calzaghe is just too good right now.
Nice to know Frank puts away his childishness for Christmas
Hes still not getting a better offer then he got,I hope three ghosts visit tonight
Hopkins is the best scuffler and spoiler around right now, so I don;t know why we all think this fight will be a classic ..... stylistically, this one could turn out to be a stinker.
I don;t think that Hopkins hits harder than Kessler or Lacy, though he is vastly more savvy and cunning. Calzaghe;s workrate could swing this one for him as long as he puts the extra weight on properly.
They still arent getting a better offer
B-hop did 4 years in one of the most badassed Pens in the states,is a partner in one of the biggest promotion firms on earth,routinely tells Arum and King to sit and spin,if he goes to the Rite Aid to get some Chicklets its a pay per view,and has made more in his last 3 fights then Franks gotten for Joe in his entire career.And offered Joe 3 million more then he asked for.
Oooooooooooooooo a not that funny ad in a paper that they dont get in Philly,well that will get him.
Well it may get him laughing
Poor Frank,no wonder he cant break in to the states,and the big money.He'll allways be a low level European promoter at this rate
How thoughtful of Joe. He should have had Danny_G do the card so we could see what Bernard Hopkins head looked like superimposed on Mary Poppins.
Or we could just send Frank Warren a lollypop and a couple of really cool Tonka trucksQuote:

Yup, totally agree that stylistically this one has the makings of a long 12-rounds, with Hopkins spoiling and not quite doing enough to win, but staying competitive by dragging it into the back alley and using everything at his disposal.Quote:
