Hopkins - Calzaghe will not happen. Bernard was insulted by the offers made by Warren made last time there were negotiations, Hopkins wanted a 60/40 split of a £10 million purse and Warren flat out refused. First he said he didn't want to fight outside Cardiff, then Hopkins said he'd be prepared to come to Cardiff, then Warren said that he wanted a 50/50 split even though Calzaghe was pretty much a non-entity in the USA at that point, and after all the bullshitting Hopkins decided against it.
If Howard Eastman, who had about 100 fans, can negotiate a fight with Hopkins then there's no fucking excuse why Warren can't.
I think Calzaghe will fight Manfredo, then end up fighting Clinton Woods before retiring. I don't think he'll ever face the big boys of the USA until he does a Hatton and leave Frank Warren.
