    I hope it doesn't go the way it seems to be... Hopkins fights Calzaghe, the winner gets Jones

    Jones isnt at a point where he deserves to be fighting either of them let alone the winner of the clash.

    The winner beats Jones easily. If Jones lets his hands go, he is hard to beat. But he won't against guys who can hurt him.

    If this all goes down in the next 12 months. Which it should!!!! Calzaghe beats both RJJ and Hopkins. Hopkins is the tougher fight.

    I see two scenarios:

    a) Jones-Calzaghe: This will happen IF Calzaghe fights Hopkins. I have no doubt he would beat him...making this fight possible.

    b) Jones-Hopkins II: Maybe Hopkins doesn't want to take the risk of fighting Calzaghe and agrees to fight Jones in a few days or weeks.

    I see a Calzaghe/Jones matchup later in the year, simply because I do not think Chad Dawson will want a fight with Calzaghe right now. Perhaps Calzaghe would face Clinton Woods though.

    Jones would get roughed up by Calzaghe right now. His workrate is too much and Jones would go into a shell.

    Jones/Hopkins would be a more competitive fight if it were to happen, but I'd still pick Hopkins.
