    next for Hopkins? I think he needs to fight this fall- to stay active/sharp, fight a real light heavyweight contender, look impressive-get a knockout..
    He's calling out Calzaghe, but Calzaghe's got a FALL fight scheduled vs. Kessler
    Pavlik/Taylor also in the Fall
    Dawson's also booked up
    HOpkins-Clinton Woods, Zolt Erdie, might be interesting.. I don't think any Super middleweights are worth it, except Calzaghe and Kessler..

    maybe, Hopkins/Jones II??- just to bide some time- a fun fight for the fans..finally settle the old score for B-HOp,..
    any opinions/options??

    it'd be great if he fights Roy. B-Hop should give up on the money issue and take whatever roy wants him to.

    That way, we'd get a really crazy excuse from Roy to not fight 'nard

    He will probably be off 8-12 months again, but if he does decide to stay active, I would love to see him fight Roy Jones Jr. These fights wouldn't generate much interest and wouldn't do much for B-Hop (Erdei/Woods), but they would present opportunities to stay active, stay sharp, and add either the WBO or IBF Light Heavyweight straps. I think he would win all of the fights I listed, but I see him waiting for Calzaghe should he win against Kessler.
