No Hopkins at the weigh-in.....

This is what, when prompted, B-Hops had to say about Mayweather-Mosely the day before the Jones fight. If this isn't evidence the man should retire, I don't know what is. Remember only a few years ago B-Hops was the most articulate man in boxing: "See, me and Roy Jones are the big names from the legendary point of view like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson playing a one-on-one tomorrow—I think you would watch that if it was coming on TV just for the hell of it. But I think when you talk about Sugar Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather based on the soap opera events that took place with him and Pacquiao, that is Floyd. Shane Mosley’s been the guy on the outside looking in. They’re not doing him any favors. Shane Mosley, as you watch him fight or watch Floyd fight and watch me literally push Shane Mosley into the interview upsetting Max Kellerman and the whole Floyd Mayweather under the lights, under what he wants to say to the public and not really say what he’s going to say to Shane when the cameras were off. But Bernard was up to his old tricks again and I pulled a rabbit out of the hat to get a buzz going on. Now I don’t want to take credit for the fight getting made because it didn’t get made based and predicated just on that. That was just neighborhood talk. That was just the media and the people talking about how ballsy it was, but the thing that strikes the whole situation is, I will be in camp helping Shane, I will be in there after me and Nazim take care of our business next week, but at the end of the day I told Shane—they’re not doing you any favors, they needed you. Isn’t it ironic that you were outside begging—literally begging. A future Hall of Famer Sugar Shane Mosley who fought everybody—the dangerous Vernon Forrest rest his soul, Winky Wright who was twice as big as he is, and this man had to beg to be part of whether it’s Pacquiao he fights or whether it’s Mayweather he fights. I’ll say this, and I know I’m being long winded but I got to go a little bit religious here on you—I plan, you plan, she plans, they plan, HBO plans, Oscar plans, everybody’s got plans. Fine, but at the end of the day whoever you believe and whatever you call him or it, at the end of the day it doesn’t have to be sanctioned until it’s sanctioned and now Sugar Shane Mosley has the opportunity that he wanted come May 1. I repeat again, I tell Shane Mosley not to be nasty, not to be ‘Oh, you’re my friends and you’re laughing now’ because it’s a big fight that Mayweather needs because Pacquiao got his over with, they need you buddy. And guess what—win the fight, and they need you even more. And he will win. He will win.” that was jibberish

I think Nard wants Calzone.

Thanks for the info The news in Britisher is he is looking at possible opponents (not Reid)

Does anyone know what Calzaghe and GB are working on? Calzaghe has been spotted a few times with Oscar and the GB team. I`m willing to bet he is coming back. Bute or Dawson then Calzaghe would go up in my estimation.

there's bad blood between all of them right now cause they want him to retire and he doesn't want to
