Who is MOST likely to fight Hopkins next?

Dawson.....by a landslide I think then maybe
Jones or Jermain Taylor

 

Dawson maybe, or Jones/Calzaghe winner.

 

Jones Jr., if he loses. There would be enough money and interest for this fight to attract both men. That said; it probably won't happen, as Hopkins will likely remain the most avoided man in boxing.

 

Glen Johnson is the most avoided

 

RJJ if he beats Calzaghe, I wouldn't completely call off a Trinidad rematch.

 

Roy jones, win or lose against joe.

 

I think Hopkins would be making a big mistake if he decided to fight Dawson. Dawson is just a noticeably better version of Taylor. Completely different from what Pavlik brings to the table.

Best scenario would be RJJ KOs Calzaghe and they set up a mega fight. And i think it will be a mega fight because both will have had victories over P4P mainstays and the public won't think of it as two old guys just going at it for pride like RJJ/Tito. It will actually have relevance at LHW.

 

Roy Jones

 

Hopkins both want to make money and make history, so the fighter has to get pass both criteria - and still has to take on the old man. Who's that stupid?

- Dawson: he's on Showtime and no money in it
- Kessler: no money in it
- Abraham: no money in it, still at 160
- Tito: money is definitely there, absolutely zero historical significance
- Erdei: lineal champ, but no money
- Calzaghe: money fight, significance is there, but Joe said he'll retire
- Jones: money, history, but he said he'll never give BHop a rematch
- Taylor: I don't know whether he'd like to fight BHop, he'll have a crack at the WBC title
- Bute, Inkin, Garay, Diaconu: no way
- Tarver, Johnson, Winky: been there, done that

So how about moving up in weight?
- HW is out of the Q, the only little man is Chagaev who'll fight Valuev next. No way Hop takes on the big men.
- CW maybe? Cunningham-Adamek winner, expecailly Cunningham sounds fine. Hopkins would take on the best CW. But still money issues

I say maybe Roy if he LOSES, as the only big fight HBO would be interested is Hopkins. Maybe Cunningham, but TV issues and money. Maybe Dawson, but TV and money issues. Maybe Calzaghe in Wales, if he loses vs. Roy and Jones will refuse to give a shot to Nard.

In the end, IMO it'll be the Jones-Calzaghe loser...

Chad Dawson at least if you believe Calzaghe and Jones' comments.

 

No one simply because they all think hes a ****! RJJ has aid he won't fight him as hes sick of him, Calzaghe has said he wont fight him because hes already beaten him and Hopkins has said himself he wants to fight the big fish ie RJJ and Joe.

 

Most likely Roy will get the assignment, win or lose against against Calzaghe. But the only B-Hop fights i would watch would be against, Taylor, Glen Jhonson or Dawson.... But i doubt B-Hop has an interest in ANY of the three.
