C'mon now. As if Warren hasn't been talking about possible match ups with Woods and Pavlik?

Hopkins is makin himself look reallly bad..... and i dont think a fight with either tito or jones is bigger than joe, he needs to stop makin excuses and fight the man!!!!!

I hope Hopkins isnt trying to duck him.But then again,money talks.If they think there is bigger money fighting Jones or Trinidad then I'd do it. Its the tail end of his career,better get all the big pay days you can.

to be honest i used to like hopkins but now i couldnt care if joe fighted him because hopkins is a has bin. he need to stop talk **** like this or fight joe.

i don't think he means in that way. I think joe is offended that hopkins camps thinks jones-trinindad are the better opponents

This fight would suck anyway. Hopkins is well over the hill and no where near his best. He ould get seriously hammered by Joe. Maybe thats why he dont want the fight.

Hopkins knows Joe is too good for him at this stage, i don't blame hops

The fight between Calzaghe and Hopkins would never be made anyway. And regardless of what Calzaghe's fans may say, it's not all Hopkins' fault. Calzaghe refuses to fight outside of Wales, that's why he's not a huge draw in the worldwide boxing scope. That's like a Marco Antonio Barrera refusing to fight outside of Mexico, or a Manny Pacquiao refusing to fight outside of the Philippines.

And contrary to popular belief, Hopkins never priced himself out against Calzaghe. He priced himself out against Jones, with Calzaghe he's asking for what he deserves by being the bigger name and having the hall of fame record, not to mention better opponets.

I'd like to see Hopkins fight Jones again because I'm sure he can avenge that loss. But if somehow Trinidad wins (which I doubt) I'd hate to see him fight Tito again. But I'm sure Tito wants nothing to do with B-Hops anymore, I think he'd rather retire again.

does your duimb ass ever read the whole article. it aint abotu him talkin about a jones fight. its about if that fight is bigger than with joe. jones is old and joe feels he is still in his prime and is the bigger fight because he is still live.
