Calzaghe/Hopkins II in the UK would be huge.

    Hopkins would be the ultimate villian in front of 50,000 british fans. That would be quite the pressure for both fighters.

    Joe ha the upperhand right now. Hopkins should now start calling Calzaghe out. Even if Roy beats Joe, Hopkins should push harder for a Calzaghe rematch. It would be more lucrative and entertaining in my opinion. But Joe don't do rematches

    Calzaghe fights best with a hostile crowd. Once I heard people booing him on his ringwalk against Pavlik, I knew it was all over.

    Calzaghe won't agree to it, although he'd be the heavy favourite IMO.

    He said after the Pavlik fight that he would go to Igaland to fight Calzaghe..so I imagine he's not afraid of going to the UK either.

    hopkins, knows that if he stands any chance of a rematch then it would have to be in the uk, so i think he would. i would much prefer to see a rematch with calzaghe but i wouldnt mind seeing a third fight with taylor. they werent great fights, but theres not a great chance of other fights out there. not that hopkins or taylor would fight again mind you!

    After the first fight the british public wouldn't be too interested.

    Won`t happen. Hopkins gets vertigo every time he steps outside the US.

    Genuinely can't imagine Hopkins travelling to Britain to fight. Maybe if the money was right, but even so.

    The HBO interviewer will need to place the microphone at Hopkins arse because that`s what he usually talks through.
