    I want to see it, so long as it's in Wales and Joe is motivated about taking the fight on.

    I think it could be a very good fight, I would not be surprised if Hopkins was able to come up and win that one, just like I wouldn't be surprised if Joe found a rhythym he didn't have in their first fight and beat him.

    Either scenario seems plausible to me.

    Hopkins said he will try knock out his opponents now
    so it will be intersting if he backs up what he said

    I imagine Hopkins will do everything in his power to try and get Calzaghe to grant him a rematch.

    It's the only fight out there for him that has any meaningful significance.

    Hopkins may well fall short again, but it will be a competitive fight.

    These poll results lead me to believe there might be a greater demand for this fight than people realized. A few Calzaghe whose opinions I have a great deal of respect for seem to be in favor of this fight.

    After seeing what Calzaghe did to RJJ last night, I really don't want to see a Hopkins-Joned rematch unless it's Hopkins' only option.

    It's the only one that makes sense for either of them.

    I'd love to see it.

    As a fan of boxing, and of Calzaghe and Hopkins specifically, there are few fights I would rather see.

    A rematch would be just fine, I just can't possible see another outcome.
