Joe Calzaghe ponders dramatic return for rematch with Bernard Hopkins

[Dirk Diggler UK]

At least its better than fighting Robin Reid again

[j.one]

Come to the UK 'nard, don't hide in the US your whole career

Normally i'd say **** that...but your right and here's why. Joe actually got the win in the 1st fight, Joe came here for the first fight and Joe had a better performance against a less shot version of Hopkins last opponent, Thus Joe can say I want the fight at home and get away with it.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

bad idea, joe will be shot, just how popkins likes 'em

Based on . . . ?


You know that Joe had about as much compunction over fighting Roy as Hopkins did, and didn't even have the personal history to halfway justify it, right?

Noand Joe had a better performance against a less shot version of Hopkins last opponent

Hopkins should come to the UK.



But not for that reason.

Roy the boxer was three feet in the ground when Joe fought him. The corpse had just decomposed by the time Hopkins rematched him. In other words, it makes no difference.

o god no way he looked out of it @ may mosley weigh in

[Tiozzo]

If he comes back and fight the top competition available, he won't be undefeated for long...

It does when Hopkins performance was so bad that his own company suggested he retired because of that fight. Jones is the glass jawed one and yet Hopkins was on the canvas all nite and he forced a dirty fight then damn near claimed he was close to death, his performance was terrible and being that Jones wasn't even ranked and Hopkins was it's very significant negotiating point for Joe and his camp if they want to fight at home on this one.

[THE REED]

After Hopkins last performance, make that 47-0.

[Charlie Kelly]

Dramatic and Hopkins in the same sentence...no, snooze fest...

I hear you - but Hopkins should come because Joe got the nod first time out and he's a draw here, fight would probably be a bigger deal here at this stage than it would in the US.



I don't want this garbage, though. Joe should stay where he is.
