Not surprising... Calzaghe better keep a level head. He's acting like he's already won.

Same as Hopkins, then.

[toffeejack]

Calzaghe: "You're getting f***** up on fight night". :good

Can't wait for this, will be my first trip to the states also and to top it off, witness Hopkins first stoppage. :happy

[PrideOfWales]

Tickets.... Anyone need any tickets?

[FRKO]

Tickets.... Anyone need any tickets? :lol:

[BigReg]

Those people in Vegas are a bunch of turncoats. That's ok. They'll regret their disloyalty just like the Americans who booed Floyd when he fought Hatton regretted their disloyalty.

Let's not go crazy now.....Joe should beat the old man but not to the point where hop gets KO'd......Joe will UD Hop but I think Hop will have his spots. Hop's counter punching will have to really be on point to catch Joe, but I think he will. I just don't think Hop will be busy enough to really take advantage of when the momentum shifts in his favor.

UD JOE C.:deal

[TroubleLurks]

Not surprising. I doubt too many liked Hopkins "white boy" comment. Still, makes no difference. Hopkins UD:yep

[surreal deal]

Tickets.... Anyone need any tickets?
for what?:huh

Have you got any for 'Starlight Express'?:?

Is that how Vegas is? I don't know much about the place except a close friend of mine went there and loved it.

Maybe the white guys there,kind of find it hard to support him though seeing as hes a racist prick?

Why'd they turn on Mayweather? What racist comments did he make?

Vegas is great, I'm goin back out there in September.

i know what your saying. calzaghe is clear favourite but he cant go into this presuming he has already won

[superchile]

alrigth go calsage

[PrideOfWales]

Have you got any for 'Starlight Express'?:?

Rusty and the gang ended ages ago. I can do the Sound of Music. For you, £47 each, best seats. You like?

Shit my bad,i was talking about hopkins,not mayweather,who is a good guy,sorry mate i as usual posted to quick:lol:

[the prom queen]

what racist remarks did hopkins say?

[FRKO]

Let's Go Joe! Youngstown, Ohio supports you!
Say HELLO to Mr. Pavlik for me, would you. :good

[BigReg]

Shit my bad,i was talking about hopkins,not mayweather,who is a good guy,sorry mate i as usual posted to quick:lol:

No, you're not getting what I'm saying. If they aren't tunrcoats and they only booed Hopkins because he's alleged racist, then why did they boo Mayweather?

[BigReg]

I'm going to pretend that "p" was placed there by mistake.


:good

It clearly was placed there by mistake being as there is no month called "Spetember" and there is one called "September". Good catch though, I fixed it.:good

[Pimp C]

:good

[FRKO]

I've been following JC right from his amateur days in the pages of Boxing News here in the UK but I'm surprised that the vast majority see the outcome of this fight as a foregone conclusion.

Joe should definitely win this, but even at this advanced stage of Hopkin's career I don't see it as a walkover. I feel that Bernard will have his moments en route to a comfortable but not massively wide Calzaghe points win.

Is Boxing News still around? I haven't seen it for about 200 years.

[TRUEBELIEVER 66]

No surprise here, Hopkins is an Asshole:verysad Calzaghe is an all around good guy. i hope he Beats Hopkins ass to a pulp..

[Sebastien]

Reminds me when MSG was booing Nard, even after he had won the fight... and Nard kept doing the X signature in their face.

Bernard will win this one

[klion22]

This is why i never buy into the "Yeah, the fight is in America so Hopkins has a huge advantage." It really doesn't apply for America. Yeah, maybe in other countries but this is THE most diverse country in the world. There are all sorts of races here. Honestly, when you think of this fight as Americans, do you think it's America versus England or just Hopkins versus Calzaghe?

[Sebastien]

Hopkins don't give a damn about booos anyway...

Bernard once said: "I don't care about booos, I'm from Philly, where I come from I've seen people booo Santa Claus"

The word "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm" springs to mind.

I'm not being funny but I know from that statement that you have rarely, if at all, left America.

What country do you believe to be the most diverse in the world?

:lol: That's a classic.

America is not even the most diverse nation in its own continent.

It's Hopkins vs. Calzaghe, both getting highly paid for doing something they both want to do and boosting up their ego's at the same time.

However, it's fun.

It should never be about country vs. country, though I see Hops is trying to make it that way.

[BigReg]

America is not even the most diverse nation in its own continent.

Which North American country are you saying is more diverse, Mexico or Canada?

[PrideOfWales]

Which North American country are you saying is more diverse, Mexico or Canada?

Canada

[BigReg]

Canada

How do you figure Canada is more diverse?

[PrideOfWales]

How do you figure Canada is more diverse?

Do some research

[BigReg]

Do some research

U.S Ethnic Groups

white 81.7%, black 12.9%, Asian 4.2%, Amerindian and Alaska native 1%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.2% (2003 est.)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of Latin American descent (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.)

Canadian Ethnic groups

British Isles origin 28%, French origin 23%, other European 15%, Amerindian 2%, other, mostly Asian, African, Arab 6%, mixed background 26%

So in the U.S , 82% of the people are considered White(Latinos are a part of this number, and different European, and Middle Eastern backgrounds are not differentiated) 18% are considered non white, including 13% being considered black

In Canada only 8% are clearly defined as being non white, and 51% are comprised of British and French citizens. Asian, Black, and Arab are clearly differentiated(Arabs aren't differentiated in the U.S), and only make up 6% of the population.

So again, how do you figure Canada is more diverse than the U.S?

Go Joe! :thumbsup

Well, because skin color isn't the only index of ethnic identity... Language, for example, has something to do with it too. Switzerland, Mauritius, Belgium, and a lot of the Caribbean countries would be more diverse than the US.
