Hopkins is no jailhouse rock - Calzaghe

JOE Calzaghe has poured scorn on Bernard Hopkins’ conviction that his 56-month stretch in a Pennsylvania penitentiary will give him the edge in tomorrow night’s Las Vegas super-fight.

Hopkins is never short of words when it comes to discussing the time he spent inside from the age of 17 and maintains the experience gave him the hunger to go on to reign for over a decade as world middleweight champion.

But Calzaghe, who experienced a relatively serene upbringing in the Welsh countryside, mocked his opponent’s mentality following a low-key head-to-head press conference at the Planet Hollywood resort.
