Joe has stated several times that this is his last year of boxing and he intended on having 2 fights. He's beaten Hopkins so only one fight left and that will be against Roy Jones Junior at the Millennium Stadium in Wales in front of a 75,000 sell-out. Jones is still a big name in the UK with the casual fan.

Pavlik is the best of the lot but Bob Arum seems to want him to have a couple of easier fights over the next year i.e Lockett, Trinidad etc.
