It has to be Jones, for the same reason why Lewis fought a haggard Tyson. Joe doesn't need to prove anything anymore, to the likes of Pavlik, Froch, Taylor et al. However, Roy Jones was the man for years in his division. We never got a Jones vs. Eubank or a Jones vs. Benn. Yet Jones is acknowledged as the greatest super-middleweight of that era. Calzaghe could exorcise a demon here—regardless of whether Jones is past it or not—completing his legacy.

After watching Jones last fight, he must still be in with a good chance of beating Calzaghe. He looked like he had the hunger back along with those glorious fast hands of his.

The only problem with that fight was that Felix Trinidad was punching way above his weight. His attacks weren't even stinging Jones and thus he could afford to pick his punches.
If Calzaghe is allowed to box, I think he would overwhelm Jones with his sheer volume of punches. I don't think Jones will like facing that rat-a-tat-tat style after the career he's had to date. No doubt that Jones will think he has a good chance going for the southpaw neutralising straight right-hand, which decked Calzaghe early on in the Hopkins fight.

Can't see Pavlik wanting the fight, the Jones option would suit both and raise stoopid amounts of cash.

You'll never beat the system by bombing number 10,

Froch v Inkin on the 10th of may,a final eliminator for Calzaghes super middle weight title,but i reckon it will be for the vacant title.I cant see Calzaghe fighting at that weight again,even if he does carry on after his next bout.Witter is on the same bill,remember him?? Froch also reckons that Hopkins won the fight and Calazaghe will retire instead of fighting him.

Froch also reckons he's any use, which marks him out as a fantasist in my book. If he can come up with one good reason as to why it would be in Calzaghe's interests to fight him, I would be very interested to hear from him.
This afternoon whilst bored, I watched the pre-fight Hopkins v Calzaghe programme on Satanta, how funny was Steve Bunce when Hopkins looked like he was going to slap him..................
A pure pampers moment!!
