I would love to see this fight happen,ideally it would have been 3/4 years ago but still it would be a very interesting fight.
Newly-crowned undisputed super-middleweight king Joe Calzaghe has continued his war of words with Bernard Hopkins.
The Welshman called out Hopkins immediately after he beat Mikkel Kessler on Sunday morning.
Hopkins, 42, responded by saying he would love to see the fight go ahead in his native America, and Calzaghe's promoter Frank Warren insisted the "ball is in his court".
Calzaghe said: "He claims himself to be a legend but to be a legend you have to be beat the top fighters - who has he beaten?"
Calzaghe claimed Antonio Tarver was "over the hill" when he met Hopkins and said his other opponents, such as Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad, were "little men".
The 35-year-old added: "He should fight a proper fighter who will fight back. Let's see if he has the balls.
"I'm happy to go over there to fight him. I'll go to Vegas or Madison Square Garden and sort him out."
Hopkins pulled out of a 2003 fight with Calzaghe after allegedly doubling his purse demands at the 11th hour.
