A few days ago, Roy Jones Jr. told Tim Smith that he was not interested in a rematch with Bernard Hopkins. He was against it and said there was little chance of the fight coming off. Jones won a twelve-round decision over Hopkins in 1993.
A few days later, Jones, probably considering the amount of money involved in a possible rematch, wrote in his ESPN blog that a rematch was possible if the right kind of deal is presented. To make the rematch happen, he needs to beat Joe Calzaghe on November 8 at New York's Madison Square Garden.
"With that win [over Kelly Pavlik], people want to see me and Bernard do it again after I beat Joe. I beat Bernard 15 years ago and I will do it again if we fight. I'd like that fight and if it makes sense and we come up with a good deal, for sure I will do it. People want to see if Bernard can get revenge. But first I need to take of Joe, which I will do," Jones said.
