    joe wont go no where near hopkins again, he under estimated him, he was luck to get the win, i thought he lost

    Wasn't close enough to warrant a rematch. Plus it wasn't exactly aesthetically pleasing

    Not really been betting and am £60 up after a couple of bets so not quiet.

    DW used the legend killer tag after he beat old Tyson hence my reference to DW.

    Bhops always look dire, the man is the master at boring boxing and running around the ring.

    I wouldnt want to see a fight like that again.
    Not a good option for Joe who only has 1 year left, maybe 2 fights. I wouldnt waste 1 on a rematch.

    Joe's had experiance with Hopkins and would win a rematch easier. Hopkins doesn't deserve one either.

    It was an ugly fight, but most of Hopkins fights are ugly, so no rematch, there's no need anyway - i thought Joe was a clear winner.

    Ok, I get you. It was a bit off-topic. You mentioned Roy Jones getting KO'd by Johnson, and I felt obliged to put in a word about what a huge KO it was.

    Yup well it was a terrible KO suffered by a fighter past his best over three years ago. Now Joe thinks he'll be a "legend killer" by beating him.

    On top of that, he seems to be saying that he'll only have one more fight before retiring undefeated. I sure hope that isn't the one.

    PS: Don't want to rub it in, but the loss at Crystal Palace isn't exactly a consolation. Unlucky, bro. I guess it was just one of those days.

    hopkins deserves a rematch definitely, i think he can beat joe if he trys hard enough, he can out power joe, i dont think hopkins believs in himself that much..... that fight last night was his to win he just let joe take the **** and rob a decision

    hopkins had everything he needed to **** joe up, he didnt take enough risks to convince the judges

    Never in a million years should Hopkins get a re-match, i dred watching his fights because he bores me to tears. I'm not a huge Calzaghe fan but at least he comes to fight and that's what i pay my money for, Hopkins on the other hand is Calzaghe's nemesis.

    For the sake of boxing, NO REMATCH!!!!!
