Joe Calzaghe angry at Bernard Hopkins; Disses Hopkins for being Chicken and more

By Johnny Benz (Nov 24, 2007) Doghouse Boxing

Joe Calzaghe is quite angry over claims from Bernard Hopkins' camp that Hopkins should fight against the winner of the bout between Roy Jones Jr. and Felix "Tito" Trinidad instead of fighting Calzaghe.

Hopkins' trainer has urged him to not take the fight with Calzaghe fight, and is pushing for him to fight against old rival, Jones Jr.

Quoted in SportingLife UK, an angry Calzaghe stated: "I feel quite angry that they've said fighting the winner of Roy Jones v Felix Trinidad is bigger than fighting me."

Calzaghe went on to add: "Jones has been knocked out three times and Trinidad keeps retiring, so how they think that's a bigger fight I don't know. I think Hopkins' trainer is just scared his man will lose.

"I throw a thousand punches a fight. I'm younger and fitter and I can't see how he can possibly beat me. I think his people know that.

"He (Hopkins) chickened out of a fight with me six years ago and it seems he's doing it again."
