But the Hopkind who fought Pavlic would not be allowed the same one dimentional more static and weaker opponent in front of him .. he would have JC which is a different opposition altogether ... simply put, Hopkins wasnt and would never be allowed to fight the same fight he did with Pav against JC..

A lot of boxing promoters couldn't match the cheeks of their buttocks. Mickey Duff..
Nah....why? Only if he is insecure about loosing the '0'.His offense appeared a bit slower last night but that may have been consciousness for Roy's still potent right hand.Dawson would be a good go.
He has 1-2 good fights left in him for next year, he should fight Dawson and Froch in Wales.
Fighting and beating Hopkins again is pointless. Yes Hopkins looked great againsed Pavlik but for every punch he threw he had nothing coming back, Joe throws 10 for every one you hit him with, that's why Hopkins was so tired and had him resorting to pretending to get hit low, he hates the pace.
I would love for jc to keep fighting but not because he has something to prove or something but because I like to see him fight. The people that still doubt him are never going to stop doubting him so don't keep on fighting to prove something. Like I would love for him to take on dawson, but just to see the fight because he isn't going to prove anything with a win because out of the woodwork would they come "oh dawson was still a bit to green. dawson got "beat" by an old man in glenn". So I say joe should keep going if he still feels it otherwise hang em up with his 0 intact, cause his detractors won't give him respect even if he was to beat dawson, froch and hopkins again in a string.
I say retire. I think he loses motivation with every passing month.
If he does carry on then there's only Hopkins, and in Wales. One thing about Joe last night is that he looked more comfortable at the weight than against Hop, especially on his footwork which seemed less lethargic. He also looked much stronger than he did against Kessler, and stood down on a (very) few of his punches showing that some of the power is still there when he chooses to use it, maybe he would more if he were really pressed.
he should go out as now 46-0 !
I disagree about Hopkins being the toughest test, I really think Dawson is the toughest test out there. But he'll get more credit for beating Hopkins I guess.
I do hope that either Bernard or Joe does fight Chad Dawson though.
I'm not a Dawson fan but it's clear this kid is the new young lion who has beaten Adamek, Johnson and Tarver is quick measure. I'd like to see him have the chance for a proper passing of the guard and to fight maybe the winner of Hopkins Calzaghe 2 if it happened.
But I also have to say, I didn't think the first Hopkins Calzaghe fight was controversial, I thought Joe was clearly pulling away at the end and won a close but completely fair decision win.
