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...........
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.
