    i would bet my life on it, and I dont blame hops one bit. Hes old as hell, and the fact that hes a top 5 p4p fighter at this stage is nothing short of amazing.

    Then people will say that Calzaghe hasnt fought nobody and avoided the toughest challenge out there throughout his career.

    I think that Hopkins will fight Calzaghe. By some fluke, Bernard will somehow beat Joe. He will then fight Jones (who will win against Trinidad). It will HOPEFULLY be a career ender for the winner AND loser....

    and all the while, Tarver will bitc*, moan and wonder why he's not in a super-fight since he beat Jones twice....nobody will care and he'll continue to avoid Dawson.

    Just my 2 cents...

    Then those people are clearly biased. Just like those who blamed calzaghe for not fighting Ottke when it was obvious only one man wanted the fight. Just like with Hopkins at middleweight there were no great challenges at 168lbs during Calzaghe's reign and while it does effect his legacy he can't be tagged as a fighter who avoided the big challenges when none were available.

    I would lose a bit of respect for Hopkins if he takes this option but I fear that it may happen as well. 5-6 years ago, a Hopkins Jones rematch would have been one of the bigeest fights out there. Ego's didnt allow it though.

    Nothing against Hopkins if he decides to take that route. It just means Calzaghe takes on Woods next before finishing with either Pavlik/Taylor winner or Dawson

    Bernard Hopkins is not top 5 P4P right now.

    #8 or #9 maybe. Top 5? No chance.

    Then consider yourself dead because there was an article that was posted a few days ago with quotes from Warren that the deal was all but made. Only a few minor details needed to be smoothed out.

    It was nice knowing you while you were alive. No be a man of your word and kill yourself for losing the bet.

    I actually think you predicted the future to perfection, as that's exactly how I think things will pan out.

    He's definitely top 5. In fact, I'd say top 3.

    His last two victories were against universally recognized P4P'ers.

    Yes, the p4p Tarver who got there by way of a shot Jones and the p4p Winky who spent his career fighting several weightclasses below 170.
