    If Calzaghe faces Jones Next, He is a ****ing fraud.

    Jones is old, out of his prime, and chinny. I expected him to blow Trinidad out in 5 rounds but he beat a former welterweight winning 9 rounds with 2 knockdowns. Trinidad looked the best since Hopkins and he was training for I think months, I'm shocked Jones even made weight for this fight, knew he could get KO'd he made 170 lbs after years.

    Calzaghe should fight Chad Dawson after Hopkins, if he fights Roy Jones its official he is a ****ing fraud, Eubank, Hopkins, RJJ he might as well fight Glen Johnson, Clinton Woods, Danny Green, Firat Arslan, Lacy II while were at it.

    No more shot fighters after Eubank and Hopkins please Calzaghe. You need to fight twice more against either Taylor-Pavlik II winner, Lucien Bute, Chad Dawson, Froch-Inkin winner...

    You're talking rubbish. Calzaghe wants big money and fighting Hopkins isn't an easy fight.

      I can see Calzaghe beating Roy but he definatley wouldn't blow him out. Roy showed flashes of the old Roy. The hand speed is still there, the power, the stamina, although the reflexis has slowed a bit. It would actually be an interesting fight to see in my opinion.

        Will you defend Calzaghe if he faces this version of Roy Jones after he wins against the 44 year old, out of prime Bernard Hopkins?

            i think as far as Calzaghe's mindstate should go..

            i think Hopkins would be the more dangerous fight for him and more appreciated fight taken by hardcore boxing fans

            i think Jones Jjr. would be a fight taken by Calzaghe for money and name recognition only, i think this fight is easily the more entertaining fight (especially for the casual fan), however

              Jones worries too much about his chin, I cant see him beating Calzaghe the way he fought today.

              Bottom line is Calzaghe wants to have a padded record IF he fights Roy Jones after this, He just wants to have good names on paper but look at the circumstances. Pavlik, Taylor, Bute, Froch, Inkin, Dawson, etc are all better fights, if Calzaghe wants to go out on a good note he needs to beat one of the younger and strong fighters. Its not too bad that he is facing Hopkins but fighting out-of-prime fighter after out-of-prime fighter is really ****ed up.

                Eh, yes. It doesn't matter whether Hopkins is in his prime or not because he is a regular fixture in any P4P list, has just defeated another top fighter in Winky Wright and has recently been involved in very close fights with Taylor who you put forward as a possible opponent for Calzaghe. I would rather Calzaghe doesn't fight Jones but if the money is there for that fight then I won't hold that against him and I certainly wouldn't be talking about guys like Dawson, who is relatively untested, or Bute, who is untested, unknown and unattractive financially.

                  Exactly Jones just wants a payday at this point.

                    Kessler is better than at least three and possibly all of those guys you have just mentioned.
