First off, in America, Calzaghe JUST became a star by beating a young, rising American star. Hopkins is a money whore, more than anything. There was absolutely no money in a fight w/ Calzaghe. Furthermore, Hopkins is an HBO fighter, Calzaghe a Showtime fighter. Those are difficult fights to make. Plus, he was chasing Monzon's middleweight defenses record.

And in between he found time to fight a 40-0 Felix Trinidad, and Oscar Delahoya. So stop with the "Hopkins was ducking" crap, it doesnt make sense!
You need to upgrade yourself – both RJJ and Hopkins avoided Calzaghe as the plague. Even Collins was avoided by RJJ and Hopkins would only play with small boys.
