[Samson3000]

Actually, Bernard did call out Toney at 190, yet backed out when Toney actually accepted:

Absolute bullsh*t fight, another classic example why hopkins is such a coward.

Please...he can't fight Maskaev & Calzaghe ran from Kessler to Manfredo...so who would you have him face?

Hopkins aint a coward.

I wouldn't go so far as to call Hopkins a coward but he's definately full of sh!t. Both he and Roy. In fact they're so full of sh!t that if they fought, they'd have a number of titles to bill it as:

Jones-Hopkins II
Full of Sh!t
Furry of Feces
Battle Bowel Movement
Chaos of Crap

Well y'know, you can add the FOS, FOF, BBM COC to the other alphabet titles like the IBC, WBU and IBO titles which seem to be floating around with very little meaning.

a little harsh that aint it, steppin up n doin tarver in dont sound like a coward

after he beat tito there was NO ONE in mw worth beating, he wudnt fight calzaghe, he would chase RJJ at LH, the only time he moved to LH was when taylor chased him out; and well giving him props for fighting tarver will depend how much you rate, i don't think tarver is jack all

i got respect for hopkins talent sin the ring, out of it hes the most overrated, padded, protected fighter ever imo.

Sure, Calzaghe's a fuckin joke. No one cared bout him then, and no one aside from Brits care bout him now. B-hop woulda, coulda, and still can kick his overrated, padded, protected ass.
As for the Jones vs B-hop fight, I wouldn't hold my breath for it comin off. Two big egos. And July, fuk that, thats a long ways off, fight sooner.

For a kid with Charles Brewer as his AV that is a classic.

So stupid it deserves a CC

This fight will be a borefest but it would be good for history to see them finally have a rematch. Everything came full circle. While B-Hop beat Tarver, I'm not fooled. B-Hop is very old. He's 42, and I don't care what you say, that has to count for something. Sure he didn't take a lot of punishment in his career but his physical skills must be diminishing with age. If he fought Joe Cal there's absolutely no way B-Hop could keep up with JoeCal's work rate and handspeed. It's just not happening. IMO Hopkins needs to give Roy Jones 50/50 and let's get this thing over with once and for all. Jones historically was the PPV draw in his heyday, Jones will be remembered as the better fighter, Jones has done more in the sport than B-Hop, and Jones beat B-Hop the first time. B-Hop only recently got fairly popular. Just give Roy his 50/50 and hurry up with this snoozer.

Yeah, an OLD, chinny Brewer went the distance with Calzaghe. Tells ya somethin bout your hero, Calzaghe, doesn't it? Real, power puncher he is.
