    This is funny.

    Hopkins is ducking Green ? hahaha

    Why would Hopkins waste his time with Green when he plans on fighting much more important fighters like a Adamek or Haye ?

    Green knocked out a past it Jones, Calzaghe would of done the same if he had power.

    Hopkins would outbox Green no doubt in my mind. His counter punching ability, footwork and defense are far to much for Green to deal with.

    Got to stop you there to call BULLSHIT.


    There is no way in hell Hopkins is ever sharing a ring with either of those two guys. Hopkins, in his 40's anyway, likes to pick on much smaller guys. He already had a fight with Adamek in the bag and then pulled this shit:-


    Hopkins sells Adamek (and fans) short - ESPN

    "Richard told me that Hopkins said if you want to have a split, we can't do the fight," Duva said. "It's astonishing. Either Richard doesn't want to make the fight or Hopkins is out to lunch on his expectations. Half a million is silly. Tomasz generates that on his own against regular opponents. I told Richard come up with what you think is an equitable split or tell me what Hopkins wants and we'll buy you out."

    So an Adamek deal didn't work out, Hopkins was mostly to blame for this.

    Why does that mean that Hopkins isn't now seeking a fight with them now though ?

    He sounds pretty serious about the heavyweight thing, i would prefer if he stayed away from heavyweight though.

    Bernard is a great fighter, no question. Yes, beating him is incredibly difficult.


    But he's choosing his opponents very carefully these days. And I find 'buts' with some of this biggest wins. You're right when you say he was a huge underdog going into Trinidad, but not to me he wasn't which is why I took a nice piece home at 7-1.

    He sounds serious about the heavyweight thing. But it won't happen because Bernard likes to stack the chips in his favour.

    And offering Adamek $500,000 is just plain bullshit - he wasn't being greedy, he didn't want the fight, pure and simple.

    At his age, he has every right to be careful with which fighters he takes on.

    Anyone can find "buts" in any fighters biggest wins.

    Maybe you should look at the positive of a win before instantly discrediting him because he is Hopkins.
