    Who knows if it's true but on the ESPN CHAT thing Sugar says the Jones fight is made if Calzaghe beats B'Hop. I hope not as I don't think that's a particularly good fight and all it will prove is that Cal is better than two of the best fighters in the 90's... during the 00's. Still...




    Mark (Cincinnat, OH):     If Calzaghe wins against Hopkins, do you see a fight with Jones, Jr happening and who wins?

    Bert Sugar: (3:22 PM ET ) Mark, this is a secret for your eyes only: Roy Jones told me today the fight is made if Calzaghe wins. So it looks like the fight will happen in the third quaretr of 2008. Who wins? I have got to see this fight between Hopkins and Calzaghe first before I tell you. I think we are getting ahead of ourselves. Because Roy Jones like Bernard is aprt of the AARP boxing club, and I want to see how Hopkins' legs hold up to Calazaghe before I make any predictions against Roy Jones Jr.

    awwe man now im torn I wanna see B-Hop win. But I want to see my boy Roy tear Calzaghe up.
    I hope this fight cna happen regardless, but I think B-Hop is gonna expose him anyway. SO it may never happen

    Good news... Jones is no way an easy opponent even at 39 but of course he's not as good as Kessler and Hopkins in 2008. Still, I think it's a harder fight for Joe than Calzaghe vs. Pavlik... Pavlik is soooooo perfect for Joe, so predictable and Jones is still very crafty and unorthodox...

    Bhop has a much better shot at beating him than Roy.

    Much much better these days.

    mmm...money means more than titles...joe could pick up another legit world title after this fight with hopkins by fighting antonio tarver...who he would beat every day of the week...i wouldnt be as confident of his chances against jones...you never can tell with a wiley old fox like jones what hes got left...

    I agree in a way......I wouldn't count RJJ out though. It would be an interesting match up.

    My question would be, why not fight the Winner Cal vs Hop?

    I'm fine with it either way:good
