"After Kelly Pavlik there's only two fights out there for me and those are the De La Hoya - Pacquiao winner and Roy Jones."
"If Oscar beats Pacquiao I'd consider fighting him even though he is my buisness parter. I know he's wanted to prove himself in a rematch for a long time, we could work something out."
Interviewer asks if Pacquiao is a reasonable opponent
"Well if he can beat Oscar, why not? Manny is the p4p best fighter out there today and this is a great fight dispite what many people say. I don't think you're going to be seeing Hopkins - Pacquiao but in boxing you never say never."
"The other fight out there is Roy Jones, we've got unfinished buisness and it's been since 93. I'll fight him if he beats Calzaghe, it's the fight every one wants to see so it has got to happen at some point. I know I am the better man and I will prove it should we ever fight."
i really hope and gonna assume Hopkins was jokin about Pacman... i mean i know he loves fighter smaller guys but i would think even Hopkins would have a limit to his bullyness lol...
i want to see b-hop fight darchinyan! you may think i am crazy, but hopkins usually does very well against southpaws. i think the old man might be able to pull it off, but i wouldn't bet on it....
he was down on the scorecards b4 he got put down from that bodyshot
I know. But it was a lot closer than it should've been against a lot smaller man. Apart from the body shot, he was never hurt.
I know Hopkins likes smaller men to try and beat but this, surely not. Against Pacman? lol. Pacman would have a chance though. Oscar almost beat him. :rofl:

I mean at some level Oscar must sign off on his paychecks, least for work done for GBP. That means any such rematch will have crazy complications.
Or the post fight conference:
ODH: For beating my ass, I'm docking him 10%.
BHop: Do you still get full dental insurance?
O: Err...no.
I Started Laughing Nso Hard When I Read This Thread That I Made An Announcement To My Kids And Having Them Stoptheir Work To Laugh At The Thought Of It...
Wow I Needed That Laugh... Lol What A Joke.
The Press conference would be hilarious.
Oscar : If he beats me, I'm firing his ass.
BHop: Oh...
:D
The press conference for this would be must see. LOL.
Oscar/Hopkins could be difficult for their partnership. I mean what if Hopkins feins a low blow like he did against Joe or tries to hold, hold and hold. That's gonna piss of Oscar.
The Press conference would be hilarious.
Oscar : If he beats me, I'm firing his ass.
BHop: Oh...
:D
