overridden equals method doesn't get called

Consider the following classes:

public class Base {

    protected int i = 0;

    public Base(int i) {
        this.i = i;
    }

    public Base(Base b) {
        this(b.i);
    }

    public Base foo() {
        return new Base(this);
    }
}


public class Sub extends Base {

    public Sub(int i) {
        super(i);
    }

    public Sub(Sub s) {
        super(s.i * 2);
    }

    public Base foo() {
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        return ((Sub) o).i == this.i;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Base b1 = new Base(1);
        Base b2 = b1;
        Base b3 = b2.foo();
        Base b4 = new Sub(1);
        Base b5 = b4.foo();

        System.out.println(b1.equals(b3));
    }
}

The printed result is false. I've noticed the overridden method equals(Object o) never get caught and I suspect of course that this is the problem (Otherwise it would have printed true).

Why is that?
