i can only see 3 real opponents for him now

1.RJJ
2.TARVER
3.PAVLIK

personally i think he should relinquish the belts at SMW,leave that to the new breed,kessler,pavlik,froch,bute etc hes nothing to prove there anymore,if he fights roy and wins (which i think he will probably do) especially in wales,it will be the old roy was past it routine and will probably do nothing for his legacy in some peoples eyes,

so for me its tarver(controversial)simply because tarver seems to be more on form and still a serious player,i think joe would beat him and in doing so would unify the LHW aswell as the SM,now that would be a swansong to a great fighters career,

and please stay retired joe.
Joe's done all he can do...
hes a little left yet,,hopkins on the other hand has no more tricks up his sleeve,, a bit like david blaine,lets put em both(bhop and blaine) in a plastic box and seal it for good.


Lol, well in this you are correct. Hopkins is done.

As much as I am not a huge Calzaghe fan, I just don't want him to step into the ring and get unexpectedly sparked an blemish his record he's fought so hard for...

If he beat RJJ- People will say RJJ is old.
If he beats Tarver- Tarver was past his prime
If he beats Pavlik- He beat a middleweight(Of course this win would have the most credibility being Pavlik is in his prime and also the undisputed MW champion)

Basically what I'm saying is I don't think there's anything Joe can do at this point to solidify anything... He's where he's gonna be and he needs to be OK with that... Otherwise he could damage what he's spent so much time building...
