But whenever I heard of Calzaghe on other sites a few years ago, he was always calling out someone called Chicken Ottke. So I don't see how Hopkins dodged him.
The last time I saw it, it was Tarver coming down off the blubberman kick....

You are showing a complete ignorance of boxing with this shite you are saying. Hopkins could have faced Calzaghe years ago. But he didnt. And he wont ever.

You have seen Calzaghe fight perhaps 2 times max....get an education!!!
Prove to me that Calzaghe tried to make that fight with Hopkins. Because it sounds like you're taking opinion and assumption and trying to make it fact. And downgrading me won't prove a point. Unless you can prove fact that Calzaghe tried to make that fight. And I dont mean an interview where Calzaghe said "I would like to fight Hopkins, Toney all of them." I mean an actual attempt at a purse bit that his promoter and Hopkins promoter(whether it was Dibella, or Duva at the time) tried to make. Until then you only have your opinion which you're entitled to. But don't try to pass it off as fact and try to make yourself look big by trying to diss me. You will just make an a** out of yourself and we don't need that. I ask for your opinion and your facts based on the statement you made. But you responding with dissing me saying I don't know anything about boxing doesn't prove your point, its just an attempt to diss me, prove your point first, then gloat, otherwise you're gloating for no reason other then dissing me.
It was posted here a few times b4, ill try look for the article now, but its a fact that don king and warren agreed 3 million $ for hopkins to fight clazaghe int he usa, hopkins i dont think had made more than $1m up untill then - anyhow las moment hopkins went and demnaded $6mill or no fight! a crazy amount of money to ask for, considering the next 2 or so fights took place in PA and he had no idea what he was getting paid untill the end of the night...

but fair enough u may not choose to believe what i said, but ill try find the newspapaer article now...
I thought Don King never promoted Hopkins.

Calzaghe should be fighting one guy only, Kessler. Especially after he wins another belt. Should either be in a neutral country or Kessler should come to Britain. Calzaghe's the man of the division now so if its in one of the guys hometown then it should be in Calzaghe's.
Agree with the above statement.
