    Ill start off and say Hopkins... Joe has been inactive for a while..who knows if he is still in, or even capable of, getting in the same fighting form?

    Whereas Bhop has been hovering around boxing still, staying in reasonable shape.

    Plus who knows how Joe ages in comparison to Bhop?

          It would probably be another SP. Could go either way.

            What factors would they take from the first fight, ammend and bring to the rematch?

              Joe wouldn't have to adjust to Bernard in the end, he would be on from round 1 and slap him into an enormous UD win.

                  he should want to adjust since he was the only one getting hit cleanly. he should come up with a strategy to actually hit hopkins and score points instead of last time where he lost the first half of the fight then got frustrated and just flailed away trying to get a stoppage since he was so far behind. lucky for him the judges forgot the first 8 rounds. but will he be so lucky this time?

                    I predict everyone would be asleep by round 3.
