Hopkins says he will retire if he can't get rematch with Calzaghe

Just last night on FNF he didn't say that at all. He said he doesn't want to fight young guys like Dawson so he doesn't get in the way of the flow of the upcoming talent. He did say he'd prefer a rematch with Calzaghe, but he did mention other options as well such as Taylor.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well, but this appears to have different quotes from him than what I remember him saying, so I thought that maybe he had clarified this later on

IMHO Calzaghe doesnt want to rematch Hopkins because he knows he was very lucky to get a SD win in their first fight. He's scared his 0 will go along with his legacy. BUT. What Calzaghe doesnt realise is his legacy is stained until he does LEGITIMATELY beat Bernard Hopkins

That's a ridiculous post. He doesn't wanna rematch him for many obvious reasons like:
1) hopkins cheated throughout with illegal punches
2) hopkins faked low blows when Joe had him ready to go from exhaustion
3) He gave Joe no credit or respect before or after the fight
I'm glad he's gonna have to live wit the fact that he said he wouldn't lose to a white boy and got beaten the way he did. The only reason it was even close is because it was Joes first fight here and 2 of the judges weren't giving him the rounds that were close just because hopkins is better known here. (Nothing new)

Love hearing bernard and his fans cry. If the fight was in Europe hopkins would be lucky to get 3 rounds from the judges.
