Hopkins said he wants to fight Joe and Joe says he put 2k on Hopkins to beat Winky. Its a match thats gotta happen cuz they are clearly the top 2 guys around those weights . If it happend the winner would be the p4p best IMO . At the moment Hopkins is number 1 IMO but if Joe beat him he would have deserved the top spot .

Personally...I would love to see Hopkins fight Joe. I think it'd be an amazing fight & I don't think that Joe would be half as effective as he has been with all these other cats that he's fought. Nobody bangs like Hopkins...Hopkins is just too up close & personal in your face all night long. Just look at the Wright fight...even though it totally pissed me off the way Hopkins fought...it totally took Winky out of his comfort element & no one has done that.

Big ask for Hopkins cuz Joe wouldnt be outsized liek Winky , Tito and Oscar and Joe brings alot more than Tarver . At the same time Joe would have to be ready for a lot of tricks. Lets not get ahead of ourselves though cuz Keess may just throw a spanner in the works . He is a real threat

Agreed...but I don't think that Kess is going to be the walk in the park that most do...then again...I don't truly believe that he's gonna blast Joe out like a lot of other Kessler fans do.

Okay, for the most part I'm going to agree with you wack....both in your balanced view of what Kessler can achieve, and in what Hopkins would bring to a fight with Calzaghe. The one thing that I would point out is that I disagree about seeing Hopkins fight Joe. Hopkins seems to drag other great fighters down to his level, and he dirty fights like the 42-year old vet that he is. However many millions it would make on ppv and ticket sales, I'm not sure Joe would have the composure to drag himself up to fight his own fight, and not end up like many who fight in the gutter like Hopkins. Thus, I imagine it to be another tough, tight, rather dull but still compelling affair.
