    i wouldnt have it any other way. bernard might actually be at a disadvantage if he is the favorite!

      he shouldn't. he was the champion, and the fight was close. plus he just destroyed pavlik. if all this is not good enough for a rematch i'm not sure what is. if anyone should get another shot against joe it's bhop.

        Agree! I wonder why JC doesnt seems to care for a rematch when he arguably won.

            Hopkins is unsure whether he wants to fight again, pretty sure he doesn't want two more fights. People are pretty high on Dawson after his destruction of Tarver, but didn't Hopkins do the same thing to a younger version?

              There will be no rematch. The only Calzaghe rematch I would be interested in is with Kessler.

                  Calzaghe was not scared of Pavlik.

                    agreed, but he slept a little better after bhop dominated him/. dont get me wrong, i think joe would have beaten him badly too, but you never know in boxing til you step in the ring.

                    bhop keeps taking out potential opponents for joe, maybe if he beats dawson impressivley and calls joe out in a more respectful manner, joe will give in. bhop can beat joe...

                      Should Bhop Target Dawson to eliminate all other challengers from a Calzaghe mega-fight?!?

                      Can BHop beat Dawson?

                      I say yes, and yes. I think BHop has the best chance at beating Joe anyway, although I may be wrong. Judging from the Tarver fight, Dawson does appear to be very capable against southpaws...
                      it don't matter, calz too scurred to fight bhop again
