But why improve your standing in the US, when your not even willing to fight over there? He even fights at daft times in the morning now so Americans can watch the fight, again why?

Lacy's next fight is against Manfredo, tells you something maybe?

retired_bec8643

Not really ? Lacy's had serious injuries since the Calzaghe fight.

Aren't they lining Hopkins up next for Calzaghe anyway ?

retired_C Mack

Ahh didn't know that.

They were setting it up, Hopkins called him out for a fight etc, but Warren has said Joe will gain nothing out of fighting him so instead there trying to set up a fight between him and Clinton Woods. :thdn: If that actually happens, i'll be majorly dissapointed. I don't know weather Bernard turned Joe down in an attempt to fight Jones though, that may be the case.

I have not heard of anyonei n the list apart of these two people, so any of these two should win it.

Nobody questioning Paula Radcliffe being up there, when she's barely raced this year?

but she had a baby, that makes her a better sportsperson ofc.

I feel quite strongly about this, there is a reason athletes miss tests, the public have been wooed into a misconception of the majority of athletes are clean, nice people who wouldn't cheat, simply not true. The tests are so far behind the drugs that many of them can't be noticed.

As far as im concerned missing one test is excusable, missing two is suspicious but missing three is guilty. The BOC caved to the fact that she is a medal hope for Beijing, if she was a run of the mill, heat level athlete then she probably wouldn't have got off. Joke.

Hopkins is the one ducking the fight. he keeps talking it, but then he has his trainers say how they want to fight somebody else instead.

The Hopkins fight should have happened 6 years ago. They agreed a purse, then the next day, Hopkins came back and demanded twice the agreed amount.

He's pulling the same tricks again this time, full of bluster on the outside, not actually being prepared to do business when it comes to the negotiation.
