What ever happened to Carl Froch vs Rod Salka? Carl ducked Rod, what a b*tch! He knew his chin wouldn't withstand Rods onslaught! :nonono:

I've always wondered why Ricky Hatton never fought Lennox Lewis..

Floyds never been too ambitious to see his latent potential. Everybody called Floyd out, and if don't respond its because he didn't fancy it you have to assume. We know BH said hes up for it. Floyd doesn't respond is standard. When small guys like JMM call Floyd out, Floyd responds though. Floyd has to personally think he can beat someone before showing interest.

Mayweather fought Oscar, so why did he never fight Hopkins during that time period?Mayweather is a Welterweight and Hopkins is between 3 and 4 divisions higher. The LEAST apart they have ever been is 2 divisions.

B-Hop wouldve lost anyway

... but he should have fought Paul Williams at least... right?

Hahaha.....when this was first posted i purposely avoided it on the sheer stupidity that belies it. Days passed and i came back to see it turned into a classic. Thanks NSB. LMAO!!

I cant take this question seriously, really are you serious ?? You really think Floyd is too small, why did he require an IV to make weight at 147lbs? lol.

Because one is a great fighter who would be willing to let it happen and the other wanted no business to do with the other guy, he hid in the same division masquerading under the guise of being too small for divisions north of 154lbs.

nah this whole forum is nothing but one massive troll post. im actually not even sure why i read this garbage omg cant remember the last time I laugh this hard waking up to this non-sense, good times though

Easy. Floyd ducked him of course, along with the rest of the MW division.

These are some the funniest responses to a thread ever. https://media.giphy.com/media/wWue0rCDOphOE/giphy.gif

Mayweather fought Oscar, so why did he never fight Hopkins during that time period? WTF. Hopkins was too big for Mayweather. Hopkins is actually a big middleweight. He is not your normal size middleweight like GGG At least the GGG fight was more possible because someone did it in the past like Duran-Hagler and Armstrong-Garcia. Edit: Add the timelime, then It doesn't make sense at all

Joel casamoyer at 130 or 135 from 2000-2003 While Casamayor was crafty, I personally didn't think they were all that similar. It was a fight I definitely wanted to see though, more at 135 than anything. Either way, it's not like there were a ton of fighters like that littered around.

Who is this mysterious "Hopkins-like" fighter he didn't fight? Joel casamoyer at 130 or 135 from 2000-2003
