    kessler is not as 1 dimensional as KELLY PAVLIK and everyone knows it
    evwn the nuthuggers know in there hearts that pavlik is more 1 dimensional than kessler, and they are scared because he has been slightly exposed

    I don't think deep down Hops wants it. He knows himself he will gas.

    this would be a step back for bhop he doesnt have time for the kesslers off the world because theres no money in it and no great legacy value. He along with many others believe he beat calzaghe and has a legitimate case for a rematch what would he get from taking a fight with someone who got outclassed by calzaghe

    i had that feeling aswel, but it is like he will ask for it and if he happends to land the fight he will take it, but i think he would rather have roy to finish his career and get revenge

    Maybe, or Hopkins would get the first proper ass whooping of his career.

    He doesn't like rematches unless he won the first fight easily.

    Why should he fight Hopkins again, he gets no credit for beating him 7 months ago, infact he gets ridiculed for fighting past prime fighters, yet the 2 names people want him to face are Hopkins (43) and a man who's made his name fighting 40 yr olds (dawson). Great logic people.

    If he had time for Pavlik, why shouldn't he have time for the better, bigger fighter in Kessler?

    he should fight hop again because it was a close fight and not a blowout
    it also is going to be a moneymaker if it happens
    but jones hopkins is a money fight too

    I would happily watch Calzaghe give Dawson a lesson, but dont pretend for a minute a points win(coz thats what it would be) for Calzaghe over Chad in Wales would be met with universal praise and acceptence of Joe's ability coz it ****in wouldnt. The nonsense would only start again "Chad was robbed" or "he's too Green" or "the crowd got to him" or worse still "he was never that good" and the like. As for Hopkins, Do you give Joe any credit for his win 7 months ago? and if you dont what would change if they fought in Wales where the likely outcome would be a crowd drunk ref would most likely stop the inactive Hop in the second half of the fight, leading to mass hysteria and ***** like whining on this very forum. Coz i can live without that.
