Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins on April 19th
The date has been set.
April 19th in Las Vegas, Thomas Mack Center. (Hes not fighting in Wales / UK could be good).
Calzaghe's date with Hopkins confirmed | Boxing | Guardian Unlimited Sport
Classic quote from Calzaghe
"I'm not going to lose to a white guy, a black guy, a yellow guy, a green guy or any colour guy. I'm taking a big risk going to America in the first place but it is all about challenges and I'm looking forward to it. Let's hope he doesn't run, let's hope the ring is not as big as the actual arena and I'll catch him up and sort him out."
Who does everyone think will win the fight. I predict Calzaghe by unamious decision

Thanks for the heads up, Normo.
I also think Calzaghe wins by decision...though maybe not unanimous - as it's not overseas.

I believe Calzaghe is a unaminus decision win better then Hopkins no matter where they fight and if B-Hop tries to slug it out w/ Joe then it would probably be stopped. Having said that, Hopkins will probably run the whole fight and Joe will win by a boring-decision..... |

I'm not down with the racist comments, and I don't care if people call it reverse racism--there is only one brand: Brand Wrong.

Didn't he say, "No white boy is ever gonna beat me. I don't care what you say about my comments. A white man is never going to beat me."

Okay you mean Hopkins; I thought you were talking about Joe's comment from above. I was wondering if that was some kind of response to something Hopkins said. My bad, I agree w/ you 100% knowing what I know now. I believe he is gonna lose to as he says "a white boy" when Joe beats him.....

I agree, Hopkins is racist, but its good that Calzaghe can make a joke about it, at least he hasnt taken it personally.

I say Joe by UD as well, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins pulled it off. He has a habit of rising to the occasion against fighters he's supposed to lose to (i.e.- Trinidad, Tarver).
