    The Welsh Dragon will lose this one. That's my prediction.

    Last picture I saw of Calzaghe showed him with a bloated face reminiscent of the Pillsbury Dough Boy. He ain't coming back and why would he? He did what he had to do, let him enjoy retirement.

    its on the dailymail that this is on the cards. Calzaghe might be a few pounds overweight but he hasnt done a Hatton if he was fit enuff he would beat BHOP - who is way past it himself... He shouldnt come back tho the 1st fight was awful and this would be even worse.

    Actually, he looked in ok shape at the Mayweather/Mosley weigh in. I think the rumours surrounding his return may have some truth in them. I'm not too sure on who he'll choose for an opponent though, but one thing that is for certain, it won't be a top live opponent like Chad.

    I wasn't aware that he got smacked around in the first fight. As far as I remember, Calzaghe really struggled to put him in any trouble.

    Yep, Joe seemed to find success in only slapping Hopkins' arms and shoulders

    Is that why Hopkins' for the first time had a swollen face and looked almost as frustrated by the fight as his opponent?

    He got out hustled and beaten by a better guy on the night. I think if they rematch, you'll see a different style from Calzaghe where as you won't see much of a different style from Hopkins.

    Every time Hopkins went to throw after a couple rounds, he got hit, something he wasn't used to.

    If Joe did come back, he would whoop that old ass of Hopkins. Bernard should retire and Joe should stay retired, case closed.

    He seems to have put a disproportionate amount of weight on his face, his body looks bigger but his face just became enormous!

    The Pride of Wales and The Italian Dragon are his known aliases.
