    What did people make of Bunce's assertion that Joe wouldn't be able to make 175 should a rematch take place?

    well its no secret joe every-other day is in the gym so maybe keeping himself trim in case a BIG money offer comes about. Like i said if he is going to come back he has to do in within 1 year of retireing so that means spring/summer time i think 2009. Maye joe knows this?

    Suprised me that, especially as Joe is in and out of the gym regularly.

    I think he could make it comfortably if needed.

    Why wouldn't he be able to make 175 when up until a few years ago he made 168?

    Bunce talks a lot of shite about weight, he really does. Cotto was drained - remember.

    He comes out with some shite every now and then, but when you talk as much as he does it's not all going to make sense.

    I accept robbery is too strong a term for that verdict.And agree that Hopkins wasnt great,but he looked to have got the win to me and im sure he would do things differently in a rematch.He would not stop or k.o. Joe but would outpoint him convicingly,Calzaghe knows it and thats why he will never take this fight.

    What makes you think that style wise Hopkins would ever beat Calzaghe convincingly?

    If Hopkins fought Joe the way he fought Pavlik he would play right into Calzaghe's strengths. Hopkins isn't stupid that's why he employed the tactics he did that night.

    If a rematch took place I believe it would be convincing UD for Calzaghe this time.
