There was little doubt that Joe Calzaghe would entertain another fight with Bernard Hopkins. He made his position clear during a recent interview, blasting Hopkins like never before. He called Hopkins a racist and said a rematch would never happen. Calzaghe won a close decision over Hopkins in April. [details]

Honestly Hopkins look bad from the second half of that fight on and was very disappointing. However, Joe Calzaghe didn't look much better with all of his slapping. Thats what won him 2 out of three judges. After seeing Hopkins school the man Calzaghe was duckin (Pavlik) theres no doubt Hopkins would bring his A game in a victory rematch over Calzaghe. Joe doesn't want that because he saw what a focused Executioner can do. -
Joe turning down a rematch against one of only 2 opponets who a lot of people think beat him? (Reid being the first.)
Shocking!

Some one is scared and insecure about a rematch in his home townComment

Everyone knows the white boy comment was to hype the fight.
Joe needs to get over it.
Why should Hopkins give joe credit when he thought he won ?
Did Marquez give Pacquiao credit after he beat him ? NO because he thought he won.
I do hope joe decides to fight Hopkins again. It's very unlikely though.Comment

The only thing lamer than Joe using Bernard's "racism" as an excuse not to fight him, is Joe getting put on his ass by the first meaningful punch thrown in the fight.Comment

Hopkins backed out of the fight 6 years ago.
Now he wants Joe to give him two bites at the cherry?
Get ****ed.Comment

There's no better way for Joe Calzaghe to get under B-Hop's skin than this: Calling him a racist, Hopkins beaten by a white boy and never giving him a second chance.Comment

The first fight was terrible. No network would ever consider buying the rematch. The HBO rating for the April fight were terrible.Originally posted by Flawless 2 View PostComment
