WBC/WBO/WBA super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe has promised to "kick the arse" of light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins when they fight on April 19 at the Thomas & Mack Arena in Las Vegas. [details]

The article says it, from the Horse's mouth, Joe wants to fight a guy in his prime next, so it looks like Kelly or Jermain if he gets past b-hop

Im taking Calzaghe, Im glad this is free.

I don't think the winner of Taylor-Pavlik 2 will be open for Calzaghe, cause it's gonna be Taylor this time I believe, and then there's gonna be stakes for a rubber match.

would love to see him fight the taylor/pavlik winner. alot of people would stop questionin his record then

well, i hope he tries Dawson or Taylor/Pavlik's after that. enough with beating on fighters who get discounts at Luby's and ****.

I want to see if Roy can put it on him, maybe as a fan I wouldn't mind my fighter giving it one last hoorah agains a great opponent. I wouldn't mind Cal/Taylor or Cal/Pavlik but Cal beats them both, he is just to ring smart for the two of them.

I don't think Taylor will turn down the chance to fight Joe if he wins, given Kelly's age there will be time for Taylor / Pavlik 7, whereas Joe is looking to retire. Taylor would look bad if he didn't fight him, although, if Joe is straight about fighting someone in their prime, Chad will be there if he beats Johnson

A 24/7 for this fight will be hilarious, the trash talking has started. I got Calzaghe on this one. I think he should fight Dawson instead of Pavlik or Taylor, because as far as I know Pavlik is planning to continue at 160 and I don't think Taylor will win their fight.

I hope Joe kicks his arse and shuts the old racist up! I read about what happened to Hopkins in prison - seems like someone did something else to his arse.
