    I'm interested in it a little bit. Hopkins and Jones Jr. have big names, just kinda gets my interest.

      Your personal lord and savior Joe Calzaghe "wasted" the last two fights of his career on these "wheelchair" fighters in your own words.
      Understood. But, reality is reality. This fight should have been made 15 years ago. The thread is valid. Bhop is of the age where every year counts. When Calzaghe beat B-Hop it was different. Two years ago is not today or 2010.

        We have no idea how much different Hopkins is at this point... if anything he looked 10X better against Pavlik than he did against Calzaghe.

        Jones, on the other hand, hasn't looked that good, and has only looked fast against bad fighters.

        This fight is way too late.

        It's like Leonard-Duran III.

          ....It was. This is a rematch, an ill-timed rematch.

            Calzaghe makes all his opponents look bad. That's why he's great.

              Oh well, I'll watch if it's on cable access channell 92...which I believe it is, with commentary to be provided by the radio team of John Bob and Billy.
              Wait, aren't you're the guy that thinks Joe Calzaghe is the greatest of all time??

              Your opinion on anything is meaningless.

                  Come on dude, Pavlik was like 20 years younger then him, undefeated and he fought him after a loss. Plus he took on everyone else there is really. How is that cherry picking?

                    B-Hop, even in suspenders, is quite capable. That's why he's great. Jones is blind and shot to hell. He needs to spend more time with the grandchildren and stay away from the ring. That was gone at least 10 years ago. Facts are facts.

                      Yeah right, Hopkins looked like **** against Winky Wright and he made Slappy look like even more of a **** slapper.
