Today at the final press conference for Mayweather vs. Maidana, Floyd hinted a few times at a clash with Hopkins. I'm going fckin crazy!! Start video at 38:25:
Yes many have called Floyd out, and Floyd said talk to the hand as the face aint listening, so Floyd shouldn't ignore his elders when they talk to him. You don't want BH names as someone you ducked along with all the others Floyd has been accused of ducking.
In 50 years times, Floyds resume and boring fights might be a bit too underwhelming for people to take too much notice of Floyds career. So at least vs BH, people will sit up and think so once a upon a time a man named Floyd mayther fought goliath in BH and so on and so forth.
not happening.....Floyd gonna "Hagler" BHop.....bring him up to the podium after he stops Chino and give him the Ray Leonard line...."a fight with this GREAT man would be HUGE...but it will never happen" :lol1:
now just for fantasy value....Hop did weigh in in at 172 for his last fight....I think he's been getting ready for the unthinkable....silly irrelevant fight imo.....boxing is truly a circus if this sh1t some how gets made!!.....btw, Floyd would lose, even to a drained BHop imo
Floyd demanded Canelo come in a 152. How in hell does anyone think he would negotiate with Hopkins who is at 168???
Bernard Hopkins already said he can reach 160. I think he can too as he makes 175 limit easy and would probably have zero trouble getting to 168.
Also, who can Floyd really fight in September that's avaliable? The only two that I can think of at the moment which is possible, Mayweather vs. Provodnikov or Mayweather vs. Hopkins. I believe Luis Collazo is Plan C if he destorys Amir Khan. Otherwise, Floyd doesn't have that many options.
That would be the most epic snoozefest of all time
LOL.... Yeah if one of them pulls put they can always have rigo as a back up.... Haha... Championship heavy-snooze belt
15 thousand dollar donation.......that was nice of him.....i t brings me back when arum donated money and all this ****ty Floyd fans harped on him.....dumbassses!
because they hate arum lol, still thats generous considering the fact they aren't obligated to donate anything. love to see fighters give back which is why i respect manny a lot.

I would watch it, that would be a great fight if neither is shot.
Floyd knows that grandpa Hopkins would be easy to outpoint; plus he's a resume-boosting low risk reward suitable for his safety-first fighting philosophy.
An insomnia-curing twelve round unanimous decision looms on the horizon. This would be Mayweather's swan song. Two big names put together always brings in money. Plus Floyd would love to tease Oscar by whooping the man who knocked him out. He'd probably do it just to piss off the golden boy.
I dont think he would be able to "easily" outpoint Hopkins. It would be his hardest fight IMO. The guy would be that much bigger then him.

Hopkins is actually at 175. It wont happen. He got Adonis to fight anyway.
floyd is one of my favorite fighters, and i respect what bernard hopkins has done, but there is no way in hell im watching this fight if it ever happens lol
