The other guy has never faced a single fighter that has fought for a "world" title and fights in front of one man and his dog.

I wonder who Hopkins would make more dough against?

Hopkins would call out Mary Poppins, if it got him more money.!

What I find more odd is that Hopkins calls out Bute and Froch, good super middleweights, but doesn't call out Ward. Ward has stated he's willing to face Bhop.

Hopkins doesn't want to fight Ward right now because he knows he can't win. That is why he's stated he could never fight him and admires him and alll this. Its a bit of a SRL mind fuck like he pulled before facing Hagler, the infamous "But...it'll never happen" speech.

But, you better believe that if Hopkins sees Ward start to slide, a chink in his armor, a weakness he can exploit, well then Hopkins will be singing a different tune about fighting Ward.
