If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
As i new Pavlik way over rated, in a way im happy he didnt beat Hopkins which i thought he might just on the fact of his greater output, if he would of won and fought Calzaghe, Calzahe woops him and Pavlik would then be wrote off as another over hyped bum similar to Lacy.
What do you guys reckon Calzaghe Hopkins 2?
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
I'd like to see it, because much as I admire Hopkins I think Calzaghe will learn from his mistakes and start fighting from round 1 instead of round 6 and win much more convincingly this time
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
I would like to see Calzaghe vs Hopkins 2 as i think Hopkins would fight a different fight and win this time but calzaghe has to get past Jones first.

i think Jones can win ive also notice the odds on jones are dropping which means the bookies favour him a bit more as well now.
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
Yeah whoever wins between RJJ and JC I think will fight Hopkins again, personally I think JC beats Roy but he'll have to be on top of his game.
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
this is a good division, shame hopkins calzaghe jones wern't fighting 5 years ago
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
if calzaghe wins i would be surprised if there is a rematch with hopkins, but if jones wins i think he will fight hopkins again. but then again jones said he wanted at least 2 fights with calzaghe one in america & one in britain
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
Hopkins-Calzaghe didn't do good business in the States. So if it happens again it would be in Britain, but I don't think Hopkins would really want the fight here.. unless the money is massive of course.
I think Hopkins and the American fat cats will be hoping Roy beats Calzaghe to set up Hop-Roy 2.

No what that means is that lots of people have been taking the big odds against Jones in the HOPE he wins, so the odds have now been shortened as the bookies would otherwise takea big hit if Joes did manage it which he wont.
Even if he did hurt Joe, hes not got what it takes anymore to slug it it out with a wild Joe and finish him and he isnt gonna out work him, in fact I dont know what he was thinking taking this bout:confused:
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
I don't think that B-Hop was any less fit & focused for Calzaghe than he was for Pavlik.
Calzaghe is a step up from Pavlik & I really can't see what B-Hop could do differently to beat him.

yeah think vegas thought it was gonna be like Hatton mania but there must of been 5000 spare seats? rematch in britain makes sense plus trash talking b-hop does means it would sell out over here.
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
I want to believe that Jones can make the fight really close but to be honest I've not really been impressed by him since the John Ruiz fight.
He lost 3 times (he lost the first) to Antonio Tarver, got KO'd by Johnson and dragged out points wins against mediocre opposition in Prince Badi Ajamu and Anthony Hanshaw. The fight with Trinidad was more of an exhibition and didn't really tell us anything.
In all honesty his comeback hasn't been much more impressive than Evander's string of wins over Jeremy Bates, Vinny Madelone, Fres Oquendo and Lou Saverese, certainly his calibre of opposition hasn't been any higher.
Hanshaw got completely taken apart by Andre Direll and Ajamu had lost to the likes of Otis Grant and drawn with Anthony Bonsante, hardly a world class performer.
I really want to be proved wrong but I think it's entirely possible that we could witness an embarrassing mismatch as Joe will be keen to impress.
Maybe Jones can turn back the clock and produce a vintage display. It's just as likely to me though that he could end up being pulled out by his corner after 6 or 7 rounds...........
Re: If Calzaghe wins do we do the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight again?
I don't think we see a rematch, as I believe the correct decision was made in their first fight with Joe winning a close competitive bout and I've always disagreed with B-Hop saying he was robbed. With Calzaghe-Jones 24/7 about to hype up the fight, you know it will be huge, and you really can't go out any more on top than Madison Square Garden beating a legend basically in his own backyard.
