If he beat the winner of Calzaghe/Kessler.. and Pavlik (if he wins) He'd really have a claim in saying that he's one of the best boxers, regardless of the weight class. As for Joe saying he'll make him wait... That's bullshit, he knows it. I JUST heard an interview where he says he'd LOVE to fight Hopkins. BoxingScene.com has the interview, I think.
I hope this fight goes down, chances are it's Hopkins' last fight if it does. To beat Calzaghe OR Kessler after this victory would cement Hopkins legacy as perhaps one of the best EVER to put on a pair of gloves. He's already a legend and one of the best Middleweights ever, but this could seriously give him god-like status.
I agree. But I think BHop has more than one fight left. I give him 3. Winner of Joe and Pavlik then maybe Taylor to move up for a rematch.
You can't make a 42 yr. old man wait. Hopkins is 175 pound division king, if Joe beats Kessler it's the only sensible step to take.
Yessir. Right on the button. Close thread.
joe c says he gonna make him wait... i rather see joe c agenst taylor.

Taylors pissed me off in his last few fights. If he doesn't put up a good fight against pavlik im gonna stop watching him. Id rather see Calzaghe - Hopkins to be honest
same here... i hope Kelly KO Taylor.

I have a source from his camp that he wants winner of Sept 03 match of Calzaghe vs Kessler. And he is willing fight on UK soil if Calzaghe win.
Don't you mean Nov. 3rd, and not Sep. 3rd? :)
