Go to Post 2 for my thoughts.
I too would prefer a Johnson fight if he went in the ring again, i would also prefer a Dawson fight above hopkins, shit i would prefers lacy fight again over BHop.
Maybe. It turns out the same way as the first one, with Calzaghe pulling another clear, wide decision, without getting knocked down. But they could at least try to make it more entertaining (and less shameful, on B-Hop's part).
and calzaghe didn't land enough
How have you been, man? Missed ya.
And if Zags retirement shit is all smoke and mirrors, and if Dawson is already fighting Tarver, why not? Only fight that makes sense to me. Unless, Zags gives Glenn Johnson a shot....
Very much agreed. I thought it was actually fairly god for a Hopkins fight...
Too much clinching however. Clinching is the biggest turnoff in boxing IMO.
Biggest turnoff in boxing is Trenton Titsworth's kissing.
Really? You must not have seen many fights.
Some people on this board are so hyperbolic. It wasn't a great fight, but it was good. There've been many worse fights that Hopkins-Calzaghe. Calzaghe-Jones was worse and even that wasn't a horrible fight.

Most people thought it was an ugly fight and a bad style clash. The only reason for a rematch would be because many thought it was close.
No, it is one of the worst fights I've ever seen.

Yes.
Many had had Hopkins winning, and many threw their respect for Calzaghe out of the window for struggling against a 43 year old.
The bout was most ore less a draw, and there should have been a rematch already.
Though i would prefer Hopkins-Rjj 2
No, it is one of the worst fights I've ever seen. And the style match up would not change, BHOP purposely fought Calzaghe like that because Calzaghes workrate is higher then Pavliks ever will be.
Could be interesting, but i dont think it will be that much different from their first fight.
And i dont think Joe will take it for all the money in the world. It was too much hard work and he was made to look bad. The chance of being beaten by old man Hopkins and ruining his 0 is way too much of a risk.
It would be nice if Hopkins went for the KO. He probably has the punches, and the chin, but his stamina might not let him fight hard for each round.
It would be another cagey tactical fight.
