Hopkins wants Calzaghe next!
By Matt Richardson
"I congratulate Winky Wright for being tough," said Bernard Hopkins after winning a twelve round unanimous decision on Saturday night in Las Vegas. "I hope the commission understands that I had to promote a good fight. I think it was a good action fight and I hope I don't have to pay $300,000 to prove that (referring to the amount withheld from his purse for pushing Wright at the weigh-in)....it was nothing but promotion, baby, nobody got hurt." As for future fights, Hopkins mentioned Joe Cazlaghe. "It has to be about something. It has to have a reason. I have to have a purpose before I get back in the ring." Promoter Oscar De La Hoya stated, "Bernard Hopkins has a lot of attractive opportunities as a light heavyweight. He wants to fight Calzaghe at Yankee Stadium in New York. If Bernard Hopkins wants Calzaghe, then it's our duty to go make that fight."
Wright stated afterward that he thought he won the fight before being taken to the hospital to have the nasty cut over his left eye taken care of.
