    Undisputed super-middleweight king Joe Calzaghe has told Bernard Hopkins to get a career as a chat show host because all he is good for is talking.

    Calzaghe has chased a showdown with Hopkins for the last few years but the elusive American has always talked his way out of a fight against the unbeaten Welshman who is now regarded as one of the top three pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

    Calzghe is racist. Its the only possible explanation.


    PS I can't see this fight happening...I think Hopkins will be loathe to the idea of bowing out and losing his winning streak to someone like Calzaghe. I think Joe could end up facing either of Inkin or Froch next in a mandatory, though he would be better served dumping the belts and moving to 175 to fight Dawson. Smarter move, IMHO. Let Kessler kick the shit out of Froch.

    Grammatically this means that you do care somewhat for this fight to be made.

    When will North Americans realize that the correct way to say what you intend to say is "COULDN'T care less"???? :doh:


    Anyway...I want the fight to be made. Hopkins may be old, and he may not have a crowd pleasing style....but as a matchup, it is still a great one and filled with intrigue!

    You're in Canada...that makes you a North American as well.

    With that said, there's absolutely no entertainment value in this fight. There's no intrigue in a fight where one guy is a guaranteed stinker.

    I heard Manchester has the highest crime rates.

    Slystaff, are your from Ilford, the birthplace of Nigel Benn, the greatest SuperMW champion that ever lived?

    That would mean that you "could not" care less - meaning that you do care since you "can not" find it in yourself to care less about this issue.
