    That would be one hell of a way to go for the both of them. Jones>Calzaghe VS Hopkins>Pavlik

    But I would say, If Jones wins over Calzaghe, that means he has legs to defeat HOP.... but over all, MAN that still would be one hell of an exit for both of them......

      I think Roy will give Calz more problems than B-Hop did....at first I picked Calz to win a UD, but I've seen the light.....Roy is determined while Calz is fighting injuries and law suits.....Hopkins can beat Pavlik but I don't think he will....he's lost 3 of his last 5 fights based off his reluctance to throw punches and Pavlik isn't the type of animal you can do that with.

        Wait till you see Jones in 24/7. You will see some real DETERMINATION. I believe by the time that show starts there will be some REAL NERVOUS Calzaghe fans. All the **** talking they say about Roy lol. I just watched a clip of Jones with a reporter that spoke to him about all the Calzghe fans and critics and how they don't believe he can win. He just responded with (yelling) "Don't worry about me, Ya'll don't worry about me cause.... Ya'll musta forgot"! Jones is determined as if Montell Griffin just stole his belts again.... almost as if he's mad but not showing his true anger yet or something. IDK... Its like he's calling out Calzaghe like Tarver called him out.. We ALLLLLLLLL know what a HUNGRY TARVER did! We will see what a VERY HUNGRY and determined Jones jr will do....

        But I think PAVLIK will just simply outwork HOP and I don't think it will be that big of a deal. So I don't see it being an upset like Jones beating Calzaghe would be. On the other hand I wouldn't mind seeing both upsets for a final good bye fight for the both of them....

          Jones--I already questioned Calzaghe's ability to hurt Jones with his featherfisted punches, now with his wrist injury he could really be slapping all night and if Jones fully understands that this guy is injured and can't hurt me I'm going for the knockout. Plus, Joe is having legal troubles, a lot of intangibles on his side that could drag him down.

            I think Hopkins will win against Pavlik, I've just got a feeling about it. I think he will negate his power and outbox him.

            As for Roy, he shouldn't beat Calzaghe but as has been said, his determination and focus may carry him through

                  i think popkins and pavlik are made for eachother

                  pavlik is a long slow footed...telegraphing heavy handed puncer

                  popkins..slick boxer..slick defense..

                  i see it anagolous to marg vs cotto.

                  except that popkins will clinch...headbutt.. unlike cotto

                  so i see rjj as the bigger upset

                  roy does appear hungry but can he keep pace with calslappy at 40?
