Joe Calzaghe: Cleverly is too dangerous for Hopkins

[Dia bando]

im one of the people who thought Hopkins sneaked by Calzaghe...i had it 114-113 6-6 in rounds but the knockdown winning the fight for b-hop

regarding cleverly....NO just NO , Joe is clearly talking rubbish. Cleverly at world level has not fought anywhere near anything that would prepare him for Hopkins even at this advanced age

You're not the only one.

or ten...

Anyway I just stopped by to say FUCK Calzaghe.

That is all..

You nasty person,what a shocking comment to make,

Is Cleverly, going to be hated as much as Calzaghe if he become's
undefended undisputed LHW Champion.?

Depends how he gets there, but mostly likely will.

It's a heavy burden being Welsh, and God's chosen people so it is.

The people of Wales are awaiting the second coming of the 'Calzaghe' to lighten their burdens.

I disagree.. the fight had a decisive winner and that man was Calzaghe.. Ultimately, it was Hopkins' low workrate that cost him again and Joe clearly outpointed him..

B.Con has that problem when up against flashy, unconventional fighters with speed/substance..

I do feel when I say Joe Calzaghe, Undefeated Undisputed World Champion it
has a nice ring to it.?

i would love to see this fight. ideally for nathan it would be in a couple of years when hes more developed. for b-hop it cant come quick enough. i think clev should fight him first chance he gets. hes gonna take atleast a decade to get anywhere near bernards skill level only chance hes got is his youth. same reason bernard can have him. it would be mega interesting. love both fighters. lets face it nothing wrong with a super test, thats the least clev can expect from a bout with b-hop. make it happen cos bhop is making older fighters look like pensioners

I didn't think Cleverly beat Bellew, Hopkins would wipe the floor with him...

Just like America craves the New Mike Tyson, Panama, the next Duran...

Calzaghe isn't the 'people of Wales' thoug;, he is talking about a friend, former sparring partner and the person highly tipped (I'll neevr see why though) was his Protégé

I have a hard time seeing Cleverly doing much better than Pavlik... He wouldn't get schooled as badly now that Hops is older and a bit softer but he would get thoroughly outboxed either way and made to look pretty amatuerish. If he could land a fight with Hops, great, there's no shame in losing to him anyways .. Cleverly is in a win win situation unless he's mentally weak and gets psycologically damaged forever after a loss.

I doubt Hops would go for it though. I mean are there any money in this fight? It's not worth it for Hopkins , business and legacy wise..

Cleverly should stick to guys on his level, like SHumenov... That's the only titlist I see him beating ...

All the other guys pretty much kicks his ass..

Amazing how many people are fooled by misleading headlines.

It could have been headlined -

Calzaghe: Cleverly is not ready for Hopkins

or

Calzaghe: Hopkins wants a bigger name than Cleverly

But, of course, that wouldn't set off the hate frenzy.

Calzaghe was asked if Hopkins would fight Cleverly, he said - "Hopkins will only fight if he gets a big payday and big name. Nathan is in the early part of his career. He is not known in America. He is up-and-coming and too dangerous"

If you don't think that's a perfectly reasonable opinion then you're a complete and utter moron. Fact.

Nice post.

Funny how they change it to get a bigger reaction.
