..been reading the newspapers today here in the UK and Clinton Woods' people have been saying that he'll be fighting Bernard Hopkins next with the winner likely to meet either Roy Jones Jr or Joe Calzaghe, anybody else know anything as of yet?

I don't know why Tarver or Johnson weren't mentioned? -
All I have heard is it's either Tarver or Jones in October and the rematch with Taylor in December.Comment

I think that is way too much for the old man. He just got beat (not beaten down, but beat) in a 12 round fight. A Tarver fight will go 12 rounds, and who knows what RJJ has left. Then fight Taylor again two months later?Comment

i feel Hopkins has the ability to fight at a calibur level about 3-4 more times TOPS. I'm just wondering if he'll still fight after his birthday or whatever the deal was with his mother and his promise.Originally posted by kallsopComment

That's the way it was going to happen anyway. If Hopkins would of beat Taylor then he would still fought two more time this year. Hopkins doesn't have the mentality of a beaten fighter so I think that helps with the loss. Actually a fight with Tarver or Jones won't likely be very physical either so that would also help.Comment

If Hopkins had schooled Taylor and cruised to a 12 round UD, winning 10 or 11 of the rounds, that would be one thing. Hopkins used a lot of energy in the fight, first running and then brawling.
I just don't think the old man can do 3 tough fights in 6 months. Especially when the last will be against a rested and better conditioned Taylor.Comment

Tarver would be a tougher fight than Taylor.Comment

I agree, plus he has the blueprint to beat him from the Taylor fight.Originally posted by jabsRstiffComment
