Reid turned down the rematch.

And there's no way Hopkins would travel to Britain for Calzaghe. Did you read his ignorant comments after their fight?
The offer to Reid was made purposely low to make sure Reid turned it down. And it came a year after there first fight. Reid wanted and deserved a rematch right away. Calzaghe never really wanted Reid again. I'm sure you know it.
