Insights on Hopkins vs Calzaghe fight

I saw it as a Great fight even though I'm not a fan of Hopkins nowadays because as wee all see it has been a boring fight to see since he fought Winky Wright. Joe Calzaghe made it an exciting fight because of his tremendous hand speed and ability to recover easily on the knockdown he had on the first round. Calzaghe I think did outpunched Hopkins even if it was his first fight in the USA and Calzaghe is not that of a Famous fighter than Bernard because his fight has always been deleted in youtube because of his camp dont want to publicize his fights, dont know why.. Anyway Calzaghe must fight Kelly Pavlik or Roy Jones Junior next..that will be a great fight!

Why didn't Miguel Cotto call out Mayweather post fight?

I'm a big fan of both guys, and I thought this point was worthy of it's own discussion.
Cotto's undeniably the strong silent type, and doesn't often do a lot of trash talking. But he's made quite a few comments about Mayweather in the press leading up to this fight. Larry Merchant was definitely stirring the pot prodding Cotto to call for Mayweather, and he danced around the question.

I'm not suggesting for a second he's afraid of Mayweather, nor do I think he's uninterested in the fight. It just seems to me for all the arguing between the fans about this match up, you would have thought Cotto would have seized the opportunity to call for Mayweather as Hatton did post fight vs. Castillo.
I think neither of them are overly eager to fight the other anytime soon. Both of them have downplayed fighting each other when directly questioned about the prospect.

How far can Steve Molitor go?

IMO, Molitor is right amongst the mix of the top guys at SBW. To be honest, before he best Michael Hunter, I hadn't really heard of Steve or watched him box.

He seems to be improving all the time & appears to have a good, strong work ethic. I'd like to see him box in America. I know he's scheduled to make his next defense in Canada, but after that, I think it's time to fight ellsewhere.

Can he mix it up with guys like Vazquez, Marquez, etc

Does anyone think that...

... Cotto can stop Margarito?

I think that Cotto could stop Margarito but it won't be with a head shot. I reckon that Margarito has never been in with a body puncher like Cotto before and it will be interesting to see how Tony responds to that. In addition I wouldn't rule out Margarito stopping Cotto as like you say, Cotto has had his moments against punchers like Judah and Torres. I think the question is whether Margarito can survive such an high intense body attack - that's why I once would've picked Hatton over Margarito just before he fought Collazo. And on seeing the evidence of the Collazo fight, Margarito would've killed Hatton I think. Anyway I am going for a Cotto KO11 or a very wide decision - Margarito starts off too slow.

Do you think that Mayweather has to fight Cotto to be considered an all-time great if Cotto beats Margarito? I do. Miguel would be a double world-champion and he would have a win over the other champion in Quintana (a pretty brutal win as well). I actually think that Cotto is the no.1 welterweight at the moment because who has Mayweather beaten at welterweight? Baldomir, a blown up Hatton and Mitchell who had been destroyed by Tszyu.

Klitschko refuses 5 million euro to fight Povetkin

Wladimir Klitschko refused a 5 million euro offer to fight Povetkin.

Apparently Sauerland wanted all rights for the fight, the fight to happen on ARD (Klitschko has a contract with RTL) and the money was by Russian sponsors. Klitschko's management says they agreed to the Thompson fight first. Apparently Sauerland has filed protest against the Thompson fight, claiming that Povetkin has to come first.

Kinda stupid from Sauerland. Why on earth would Wlad agree to their conditions? On top of that I think the more time Povetkin can get, the better.
