    Calzaghe wont be ready by then I doubt. They should put Hatton vs Marquez, Calzaghe vs Hopkins and Khan vs Maidana all on the one show!

    Would you like to see him back Will?

    I would but I'd like to know what his plans are. If its just for one fight then I'd rather he didn't. It would sort of be fleecing the fans IMO.

    I always like watching him so from that point of yes.

    But the problem with Joe quite frankly is whatever he does will not silence the doubters.

    I could see him beating bad Chad. But again, everyone would just claim he was a hype job. Froch is very unlikely to happen and the Kessler v Froch fight makes this nul and void in a lot of people's eye's anyway.
    Pavlik would be pointless at this stage. There's no way he would be taking a fight at SM as a few people have suggested. It will be at light heavy. Can only really see Hopkins and then possibly Dawson.

    Bute would be an outside possibility but would have to show that he can bring the $$$'s!!!

    Funnily enough,one of the matches I really want to see is Hopkins/Dawson.

    If he beat a prime Dawson(which I think he'd struggle with), I think he'd recieve full credit....that guys the real deal.

    He's such a big name he could always fight at a catchweight with the Supermiddle contenders.

    Time will tell.

    Any fight with Hokins is gonna be ugly as sin at this stage.

    He just doesn't have the lungs for a 10-12 round fight anymore. He has to do all the antics just to get himself through the fight.

    Dawsons movement is not as good as Joe's so Hokins would tie him up easier I believe. To be honset I have no interest in watching Hopkins fight anyone. He should retire and take Holyfield with him.

    I would be absolutely stunned if Calzaghe agrees to fight Dawson.

    Yeah theres not a chance. He values his 0 to much which makes any comeback completely pointless.

    We were on about Khan.

    But anyway, all the noises were that if Joe fights it's in Cardiff. Forgetting his physical shape for a minute, it'll take a hell of a lot longer than 10 weeks to put in the necessary promotion for a comeback fight in Cardiff.

    It aint happening.

    He's always said he would never fight his dad!!!

    Plus I think Enzo is more a Welterweight if you take some of the packaging off!!!

    I think that this is more like it :good...go old school, it doesn't have to be a title defence
     
  15. There were pic's of joe in the sunday mirror. He looked in fighting shape. I was suprised as the last time i saw him he was all over the place.
