    This one will be, they will both make so much more money on a rematch, as they both won BIG fights convincingly.

    Make a poll, ask this question:

    "Would you be more excited for a BHop-Calz II than BHop-Calz I.

    I know I for one could care less for the first, I like so many others wrote BHop off for his age. The rematch will be exciting.

        ITS NOT HAPPENING.
        Absolutely spot on, Reed. A rematch is not even worth talking about.

          Hopkins just dominated a young popular boxer in Pavlik ---> Shot Hopkins stock up.
          Calzaghe beat a household name in RJJ ---> Shot Calzaghes stock up, more Americans know who he is now.

          Calzaghe just wants money, thats all hes in it for. He doesnt care about legacy he just wants money. What fight out there can bring him more money right now than Hopkins?

          This time in the UK, and it will sell more PPV's more seating.

          People aknowledge the first fight was close and could have gone either way. Both fought around same time, I see a rematch in the immediate future.

          Hopkins wants revenge, Calzaghe wants €€€€


          I think Calzaghe is torn between more money and remaining undefeated, thats why he is considering retiring, but cant commit to it.

            Not strictly true. If it was, he would have not done a 50/50 split with Roy. Calzaghe wants the big money fights, but I don't believe he's doing it only for the money. He says himself, that if a fighter only fights for money, that's when they start to lose. Calzaghe had something to prove by fighting Roy.

              In a perfect world this would be the case, I wish boxing was less politics....

                Explain Manfredo, and avoiding really good opponents like Dawson who wouldnt bring much money to the table?

                Im sure being undefeated is a consideration, but I personally think money overrides that. Hes a ****y bastard, he will downplay the chances of losing, especially if its in the UK.

                  I agree with you Reed. I don't see Bernard getting a rematch with Joe. I think Joe is going to hang them up actually.

                    I cant think of a reason Joe would want to give Hopkins a rematch. Hopkins, unlike RJJ was scared to come out and fight Joe and hopkins unlike RJJ was a disgrace in defeat.
                    Hopkins butted, held, cried, fell, faked and generally disgraced boxing against Joe...why would he get another shot.

                      JLC didn't square off against another fighter...when it was a "Go either way type of fight against Mayweather" B-Hop has already earned the right to face Joe but if Joe wants to retire...Then so be it
