Calzaghe calls hopkins an A-hole and a racist

[C.J.Rock]

IF they did fight it would 100% be in Cardiff and NO WAY Popkins gets away with not fighting...he'd be DQ'd anf fucked off out of the ring

Hopkins has offered to come to Wales to fightthe rematch, but SlappyJoe ducked the offer.
Calzaghe KNOWS he cannot beat a 100% hopkins

Calzaghe KNOWS, does he?

A 100% Cazalghe unleashes upon old snaggletooth far worse IMO. He's already beaten Hopkins and that was Calzaghe not at 100%. There is nothing to suggest that was not Hopkins as good as Hopkins can be.

The Hopkins that fought Pavlik would have been taken to the trenches by Joe. Hopkins did fight the correct fight against Joe. Circle, retreat, counter, hold. Repeat frequently. Anything different and Hopkins gets exhausted and embarrassed by him.

Yeah right.

Do you think it was just a coincidence HBO never brought up a Hopkins-Calzaghe rematch the other night?

Wasn't the greatest fight ever. The MAJORITY have Calzaghe as the winner. Whats the point?

[No Contest]

I think B-Hop will win a rematch. He will adapt by also flailing his arms and landing glancing shots, so the HBO team can get worked up and yell like he's throwing effective punches.

They were effective punches, they made Hopkins unable to fight his fight, forced him to hold and go on the run a little

[Spicoli]

For the record I thought Calzaghe earned the victory.But what a dick!!'Hopkins is a racist' but Joe turns around with the same comment to Emphasis his own victory.I would bet the house that this rematch WILL happen.There is no bigger status fight for either one Imo considering they may have only 1 or 2 left in them as they wish ?

[C.J.Rock]

Slappy Joe wont risk his 0 against The executioner when Nard is 100%

[C-Lo]

I think a second fight will be more exciting. Not an exciting fight, but just more than the last one.

I think between Hopkins and Calzaghe, Hopkins will come into a rematch with a better gameplan. The thing is, Calzaghe will most likely spoil the gameplan. I would like to see a second go round. It was a close fight and Hopkins let Joe take the fight from him. Would B-Hop not let it happen again?

If Flopkins cant do it by cheating and having a dodgy ref in his own back yard ... he hasnt a hope in hell in Wales ... he'd have more success platting piss !!!

The only thing they would be concerned about is the low-PPV numbers another anticipated snore-fest would return. That's why they didn't mention it.

That's what i meant, mate.

Hopkins can't draw flies to shit. The Pavlik fight just did under 190,000 PPV buys - a huge failure.

Calzaghe isn't exactly an HBO cash-cow either, the Calzaghe - Kessler fight had low numbers and it was on free HBO.

I imagine the Calzaghe-Jones fight did ok, but I'd wager that had much more to do with RJJ than JC.

Mate you're missing my point. Yes Calzaghe wont do great numbers in America. The reason HBO didn't mention a Hopkins-Calzaghe rematch is because it wouldn't do great numbers. The first fight was shit. Calzaghe will never do great numbers in America being a Brit. Hopkins-Pavlik just spectacularly FAILED on PPV. Hopkins doesn't sell.

If they WANTED Hopkins-Calzaghe 2 they would put up enough CASH to make it happen.. they wont

I don't disagree with any of that, I just think it's unfair to single out Hopkins as the sole reason HBO would not want a 2nd fight. Both fighers are underwhelming draws in the States. I don't think is has much to do with Calzaghe being a Brit, I think it's more a combination of factors.

I haven't done any research on this, but if you have fast access to the numbers, have there been any fights recently that did great PPV numbers in the US, besides DLH or Floyd? What about Pacquaio? Point being I'd be surprised if Hopkins numbers were significantly lower than many other champions, for PPV buys in the US.
