    No. Their first fight was tedious, ugly and dull. I don't see a second fight being any different.

        Could be interesting, but i dont think it will be that much different from their first fight.

        And i dont think Joe will take it for all the money in the world. It was too much hard work and he was made to look bad. The chance of being beaten by old man Hopkins and ruining his 0 is way too much of a risk.

        It would be nice if Hopkins went for the KO. He probably has the punches, and the chin, but his stamina might not let him fight hard for each round.

        It would be another cagey tactical fight.

          No, it is one of the worst fights I've ever seen. And the style match up would not change, BHOP purposely fought Calzaghe like that because Calzaghes workrate is higher then Pavliks ever will be.

              Yes.

              Many had had Hopkins winning, and many threw their respect for Calzaghe out of the window for struggling against a 43 year old.

              The bout was most ore less a draw, and there should have been a rematch already.

              Though i would prefer Hopkins-Rjj 2

                  I would. I think a second fight is very interesting and I believe it would be much different and more exciting then the first fight.

                  The first match I kinda think neither fighter did as good as they could have and I also feel like they both underestimated eachother. Hopkins was having a thyroid problem that Mackie Shilstone tried to control with diet during training camp which very well could have led to him losing steam in the 2nd half of the fight which makes sense since it's main symptom is extreme fatigue and it's so uncommon to see him ever get tired.

                  Calzaghe also didn't look as sharp as he normally does. No question their two styles will always conflict and both will have problems with eachother, but I think it would be much more exciting, especially if hopkins has a new attitude going into the fight like he said he would after he beat pavlik, rather then waiting for Joe to throw a punch and counter and be more active.

                  They both hate each other too which always makes a fight more compelling.

                    Really? You must not have seen many fights.

                    Some people on this board are so hyperbolic. It wasn't a great fight, but it was good. There've been many worse fights that Hopkins-Calzaghe. Calzaghe-Jones was worse and even that wasn't a horrible fight.
