I think he should fight Pavlik next but he'll fight Roy for the bigger money to make the first defense of his crown. B-Hop might not get enough support from the public to demand his rematch.
I have a strong feeling it'll be Jones at 175.
I'd be willing to bet on it being Jones. The only thing that could prevent it is if they can't agree on the money. Both men really want that fight.
I would like to see him fight RJJ. He still has fast hands at his age. The only thing that I worry about is Joe winning in the same kind of way just outworking Roy. Because Roy can not take very many chances at times. With Joe's lack of power he might take more though.
Roy Jones Jr. - Everyone will say he's shot
Chad Dawson - Green
Kelly Pavlik - a middleweight
Antonio Tarver - dominated by B-Hop
There isn't too much upside for Calzaghe to gain...
roy jones at 170, kelly pavlik at 168 , and OUT!
47-0 all time great, undisputed supermiddweight and light heavyweight champ at the same time
all calzaghe cares about is winning, he will not let himself lose EVER
And with more quid then the Queen.
Joe Calzaghe undefeated how long?
Tonight's fight (Bernard Hopkins vs, Joe Calzaghe) showed only one thing to me, that Joe Calzaghe will be knocked out when he faces a opponent like Antonio Tarver or Glen Johnson. Why? Simply because fighters like Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver, are natural light heavy weights and natural punchers with power! Joe Calzaghe is a slow starter that can not find his range until the middle rounds, and if Antonio Tarver lands a big punch in the early rounds (which is not hard to do with fighter like Joe Calzaghe), he will not be allowed to recover or might not even recover from the initial punch. Joe Calzaghe's chin is revealing to be suspect! A few of Bernard Hopkins's clean punches on the chin hurt Joe Calzaghe, not a good look for Joe Calzaghe, being that Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver hits much harder. The light heavy weight division might not be the right division for Joe Calzaghe. Joe Calzaghe's win over Bernard Hopkins proves nothing, he did not impressively win, but he should of got a unanimous decision. The split decision was straight bogus! Bernard Hopkins did not follow up when he hurt Joe Calzaghe, and when a fighter fights peddling backwards he better get the best of the exchange of punches in every round, which Bernard Hopkins did not do. Joe Calzaghe won this fight because he out worked Bernard Hopkins and was thee aggressor in the fight, but frankly both fighters performance's looked quite amateur.
First of all, he shouldn't give Jones the chance to recapture the glory. Calzaghe wanted Jones years ago, but to no avail. Calzaghe should beat a couple of the young prospects like Dawson or Pavlik and then retire undefeated.
