Hopkins/RJJ is on - WTF?

[Majesty]

And they accuse Mayweather of cherry picking. Roy has look the worst he has in years and now this fight is finally being made? It should have been made before he went to Heavyweight.

Hopkins is 45 and Mayweather is 32.

While Mayweather retired for 2 years to let all the top welterweights beat each other, Hopkins was fighting the likes of Wright, Calzaghe and Pavlik.

Ever since Mayweather hit 140, he has cherry picked his opponents.

I can agree that Hopkins can be criticised for cherry picking now but give the guy a break, He's 45 and has fought alot of tough competition recently including the likes of Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe and Pavlik. That doesn't look like the resume of a fighter who has cherry picked over the years.

Though let's be honest, each of those fighters went up in weight to fight him. And Pavlik and Wright went up 2 weight classes to fight him! Neither of those guys had any business north of 160. I do give him credit for fighting Calzaghe though.
