Frank Warren Disses Bernard Hopkins
By Johnny Benz (Nov 7, 2007) Doghouse Boxing        
Frank Warren, the promoter for Joe Calzaghe feels strongly that Bernard Hopkins may yet coward away from fighting Calzaghe. Warren believes Hopkins will prefer an easier route than facing Calzaghe, who has just come off his latest victory over Mikkel Kessler. There has been a lot of talk in recent days to pit Calzaghe and Hopkins in the ring together and Warren is working hard to make it happen.

Quoted recently by the media, Warren stated: "Bernard Hopkins is a student of boxing and he knows that he will be beaten
by Joe Calzaghe. That is why I think we will struggle to get him to claim this fight,"

Warren went on to diss Hopkins, stating: "The ball is in his court. What has he got ahead of him? He has a rematch with Winky Wright, which I am sure Prozac would be queuing up to sponsor, or he has a fight with Chad Dawson which no-one cares about."


"Bernard keeps saying what a big name he is but is he a big name fighter?"


"Let's get the fight on and we will do it in the States but it's about Joe getting well paid."




"Taking Joe on means that if there is £100 on the table, he can't take £99 of it.
He is not the attraction."
