Calzaghe Hopkins II OFF.

[LondonBB]

Joe doesnt do rematches?

Then what the f*ck was the second Veit fight and all about then?

That was a more worthless rematch than a Hopkins one as he blew Veit out in the first round of the original, to be fair to Veit he did work his way back up the rankings to become mandatory again.

I think its just a matter of Joe feeling hes finally earned recognition and it may well have taken an edge off his tenacity, hes already decided hes retiring.

Tbh i think joe might be a bit scared.

I believe joe when he says that his heart isnt in boxing anymore and he just wants to fight roy jones jnr for his last fight in madison sq.

But i just dont think he wants to face hopkins again. He knows how tough it was the first time and that he only won by a very narrow decission, he knows that it could be harder this time round even because hopkins will simply go for broke against him (if its both their last fights).

I cant see calzaghe wanting the rematch at all.

I dont think Joe would be in any danger of losing to Hopkins at all.

If Bernard went for broke he would be spent, Joe would be the one who would do better in any rematch as like otehrs have said he had figured Hopkins out and was pouring it on in the second half, while Hopkins whined, held ran and crawled around on the floor, thats hardley the type of "fighter" to instill fear in Joe.

I don't believe any of these old men anymore, they have been quiting for the past 10 years

I think there will be a rematch and I think the rematch will be a lot more exciting, IF Hopkins comes to fight that is and he did promise that he would come to fight from now on.

[LondonBB]

Well, if there is a rematch between them and in the re-match hopkins cones to fight rather than nullify, then i can say that it would be a cracking fight.

It would be so funny to see them both in the ring together really wanting to go toe-to-toe and trade, would have to end in a ko.

Hopkins will be great for first 8 rounds and then start to gas, like he did in the previous calzaghe fight, so if he comes to actually fight calzaghe like he did against pavlik then hes got to do something within the first 8 rounds.

I think hopkins believes he can damage calzaghe in 8, i think he could do as well!

It would be such a good fight to watch, so much build up and really be the final battle for both fighters.

[ClubberLang]

The first fight was pretty dull, so I'm not sure what the point of a rematch would be. Calzaghe has nothing to gain by fighting Hopkins a second time (except money). It won't do a thing for his legacy. There really aren't any big blockbuster left for Calzaghe now that Pavlik has been vanquished. Hindsight is 20/20, but he probably should have fought Pavlik and then fought Jones Jr. in his last fight next year. He probably would have won a wide decision against Pavlik.

[Taeth]

I don't think Hopkins would fight the same way.

All that being said
I am glad Calzaghe will be able to retire undefeated, he works as hard as anyone, he's been a great fighter and he deserves it, I think he would be fucked against Chad Dawson, and that Hopkins would be only fight left, and even that would be more danger than its worth.

[Pugilistic]

It was never on to begin with.

I would love to see a rematch but Joe won't want to risk his precious "0".

Calzaghe KNOWS himself that if he ever gets in the ring with hopkins again his 0 is GONE!!!!!!!!!

Ive got a fighter, who desperately wants to avenge a close loss rather then fight anyone else
Joe should be wanting to prove he really won,because alot of people dont think he did.
But he'd rather take Roy Jones walker away from him long enough to beat him up.
I hear he also kicks puppies,and takes candy from babies.
