yeah.

If Joe loses to Hopkins, then it would have mean't he got horribly old overnight, or got completely jobbed.

I think he will, maybe he'll have a farewell fight in Wales.

That's a tough one. But as competitive as Calzaghe is, I think he'd go for a rematch. Because even if he loses, it will be a close fight.

Good point, but maybe it's more likely that he would be devastated if he loses very clearly, or even gets dominated. Something like that can shatter an unbeaten fighter's confidence, especially one that has been a Champion for such a long time. But I somehow feel that IF he loses, it will be a close fight that can go either way(which is when he still is confident that he can beat Hopkins, and pull for a rematch). So imo for now, Joe is in a good position.

very true statement the number would have to be right a rematch, but for some reason i don't see a rematch happening

Nobody is good enough to dominate Joe, least of all Bernard "3 punches and a headbutt" Hopkins. Most idiotic thing I have read in a while. If Joe "loses" this fight, it will be because he is a white welshman, no other reason. ****ing yanks and their gift decisions is the only thing I am nervous about in this fight.
