    After yesterday, I think Bernard will only fight:

    -Roy Jones
    -Kessler-Calzagher winner
    -A heavyweight (X wanted Maskaev in January)

    Well personally I would have no interest in a second fight and even though to some fans might find it appealing. Yes, just the idea of Old Jones getting back into the ring to show off his amazing skills and agility does sound like a dream come true. But Jones hasn't been able to fight the way we all like to remember him in his last few fights and him being in retirement wouldn't change anything. And in reguards to Hopkins, after last nights performance... well lets just say it reminded me how much I like watching boxing that doesn't involve body shots that are thrown with your body.

    I hope not honestly.

    I love Jones, as much as I love Hop...but this version of Jones, vs this version of Bernard....its not even close. Jones would be humiliated. I just dont want to see him go out like that.

    I see Hop going after Calzaghe if he wins and maybe one more.....I just hope that last one isnt the fight with Jones.

    After seeing saturday's performance, I think that a heavyweight fight would be a big mistake for hopkins at this point. He does not have the speed and stamina to box for 12 rounds and trying to outhug a bigger man like he did with Winky would get him beat down.

    I think BHop vs Jones would be interesting. They have both slipped a bit and seem at about the same point physically.

    Yes.
    Hopkins has wanted Jones since 01 or 02 i think when the rematch was gonna go down. The only reason Hopkins wouldn't want a second fight is if he wants another challenge, Why would he after Wright? He wants revenge or redemption, So yeah it'll happen.

    hopkins vs calzaghe should be good if it happens
    jones vs calzaghe would be even better if jones gets off the ****en ropes

    It wont happen. Jones would have a 50:50-split, but he wouldn't get it.

    I already said i'd be very intrigued to see Jones v BHOP, but you really have to question. Why does BHOP want to fight him now? This fight, as we all no, should of been made several years back.

    It'd be so laughable to hear Hopkins (if he were to fight and beat Jones in a rematch) talk about how he got revenge. Jones is no where near his best and obviously never will be again.

    As I said, it'd be intriguing but BHOP v winner of Cal/Kes would be far better.
