HBO creation, like a past-prime Naseem Hamed and the over-rated Lennox Lewis. Hopkins' 20 title defences came against very poor opposition, including Robert Allen three times (Robert who?), and his best wins came against blown-up lightweights (Tito and Oscar) at almost 40 years old. It was ridiculous that people got so carried away with this guy.Here is a guy that dont have a clue?? HBO creation??? How is that?? Only two of Hopkins fights before Bustin up tito was even on HBO, and that was his fight with Jones which was on the undercard of Bowe vs Ferguson, and his fight with Holmes which was part of that tourn. Hopkins fought on showtime a few times, and the rest of his fights were one USA tueday night fight, Foxsports Nets.
You have no clue
Im not understanding why Jones is taking a hit here, its Hopkins that has pulled out, its Hopkins once again that agreed only to disagree later.
But lets be honest here, Who the fuk even wants to really see this fight at this point??? I dont, I would like to see both of them walk away. this is like Camacho Vs Duran in 1996.
Im not sure when this was wrote, but I read an article just yesterday from Hattons pops that said he wasnt willing to fight Floyd until the fall, which last time i checked isnt in April or May.
This is one of the reason that I like Floyd. Look some people will bash Floyd for taking this fight, however is there really a better fighter out there that is available for Floyd to fight?? With Judah getting beat that killed floyds next fight, and with all the other top 140 to 147 pound fighers tired up with fights this is almost the next best thing. He maybe could have got Spinks, but who is to say that he is better then Witter?? At least Witter isnt coming of a lost.
