Roy Jones is next on his list, but you'll see Roy will want 50 billion dollars to make the fight like he did back when he was good!
None of the yank champions want to fight a tricky welsh southpaw who could cause them serious problems why would they when they can keep fighting each other, then claim there best in the world because of course America is the centre of the universe!Comment

Like he handpicked Lacy and Kessler?? Joe Calzaghe is a better version of Roy Jones.

Do you really think the Yank champion Lacy or Kessler are as good as Roy Jones? I got Joe C. in a UD over B Hop but I would'nt bet against B HopComment

Being a fan Of Joe C,Id like to see him win,but the more i think about it..the more i think he may lose. I think the altitude/climate may affect his performance a bit..plus the fact it'l be a dirty dirty fight,which wont be easy to score,and the fact tht he will be fighing an american in america...rememebr lewis V holyfield 1?...also the fact that when boxers move to GBP,often they lose their first fight.
I think Joe C can win, but we all know he can lose it in the ring,and go for the knockout, and look pretty wild when he loses his head,and i get the feeling Hopkins can probably mentally/physically take him to that place wherehe loses his head...and doesnt listen to what enzo says..and just goes hell for leather toe to toe looking for a knockout. Hopkins is too experienced for Joe to do what he did to lacy to him..and also Hopkins is far superior to Lacy in boxing terms. I suspect it'l be a Bika type of fight...which Joe won convincingly on the cards(but was a tough fight), but there is a big difference between Bika and HopkinsComment

Hopkins even at this age will be Joe C.'s toughest fight. Im not sure who will win, if Hopkins were a bit younger I would say Hopkins but now that he is past 40..I dont know.Comment

Joe will win a very ugly fight UD. but he still aint going to the credit. hopkins and jones never wanted a fight with joe they went after better paid fights against lesser fighters than joe. joe will retire unbeaten and the best boxer of his era that has never been truly tested.Comment

this fight is going to a dec. Hopkins is too skilled and crafty to get KO'ed, and at the same time i dont think Hopkins is gonna finish any of the top fighters right now.
i see Hopkins winning by UDComment
