no because jones will beat joe. hopefull we could see Hopkins vs Jones 2
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.
this is a good division, shame hopkins calzaghe jones wern't fighting 5 years ago
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
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.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
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...........
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![]()
