Roy Jones Jr says he'll fight Joe Calzaghe anywhere once he's dealt with Felix Trinidad.
Jones faces the Puerto Rican legend at Madison Square Garden in January, but is already looking ahead towards a potential clash with the unbeaten Welshman.
Three years ago Jones was widely regarded as the best fighter on the planet pound-for-pound.
But two defeats by Antonio Tarver and one by Glen Johnson tarnished that lofty reputation.
And now he's the one doing the chasing as he targets a megafight with Calzaghe.
He's looking forward to facing Trinidad first, and said: "I haven't felt this excited about a fight in a very long time. You haven't seen me this pumped up in a long while. I have my fire and energy back. I don't know how I lost it, but I know I got it back.
"Some of the odds makers have me as a five-to-one favorite. They don't know what they're talking about. I should be a 50-to-one favorite.
"I'm revved up for this fight. How can I not be excited? I'm fighting Tito Trinidad.
"Tito says it won't last two rounds. I'm going to be nice and give him two more rounds and beat him in four.
"I can fight at practically any weight right now. I can drop down to 168 pounds and take on (Joe) Calzaghe. I'll fight him anywhere he wants. Jones Jr. is back and ready to fight."
