Calzaghe wants to rematch Hopkins; in Wales.

Apparently Richard Schaffer said Joe recently expressed a desire for a rematch and that it could happen between September / October. I wonder why Joe wants this rematch when Bute would be a far more financially lucrative fight? I know Joe's a greedy bugger and Hopkins with the size of his ego would probably wave all his purse and give it all to Joe just to make the fight so maybe Joe thinks this fight would be easier I dunno.

Joe will win comfortably 'cause Hopkins is 2 years older than he was in their first 'bout and Calz is in his home town. Joe, stop being a knob, I'm a fan. Fight Bute. Well, he needs a warm up!!!!

And incase anyone has forgotten: Bute is a supermiddle weight. Joe wont go down to 168 anymore. Well that sorts that issue out.

Hopkins would beat him in the rematch. We shall see, if the sources are right the rematch is close to happening.

HAHAHAHA, and if it isn't like the first fight with both punching alot of air and Calzaghe does win. I bet you'd be the first to say time to hang those gloves up BHOP. :) Its just funny, but people who pick their guy to win a fight always make excuses after the fights over! :rofl: tbh....I would like him to hang it up now.....but the old man is a stubborn one.

Id like to see Joe take a tune-up fight first and depending how he does, we'll see how he goes from there. Bhop would just be boring and no one will watch that bs. Bhop should retire.

Joe would make a mistake if he came back, IMO.

For **** sake... Stay the **** out of the ring, Joe! You've had a great career, and you made the right decision to retire, don't change that.

Well Joe's probably thinking: "Ok, the 1st fight looked shaky because I got knocked down but once the fight progressed I got better at handling Hopkins, the rematch should be easier." And Hopkins is thinking: "Ok last time I worked defensively and Joe outworked me so this time I'll fight like I did against Roy / Pavlik agressively" Personally I think if this fight happens it won't be similar to the first - it'll play out totally different.

I wonder if the rematch will be like the first, both hitting air most of the time with the exception of Hopkins nice knock-down in the first round. The first fight will go down as one of the worst fights ever.
