I honestly dont know if HBO would put this on PPV, neither are draws. I mean yall can say Bernard is boring but he sells fights, i dont think this fight has any interst. Joe would be going from possibly fighting Bernard in a mega fight to fighting someone Bernard just beat, whats the point of that?
Winky Wright Willing To Accept Calzaghe Fight

Hopkins is not a smaller fighter. He STARTED his career at light heavy. Of course Joe has the nuts, he already MADE THE OFFER.
Yeah, Adamek was pretty dangerous and Chad made him look bad. Pretty high risk/low reward for Joe in his next fight. Winky, Hopkins and then Chad, in that order would be perfect and then retire for Joe.Last edited by Jim Jeffries; 12-06-2007, 05:48 PM.Comment

You are right! Chad Dawson is not a NAME and he wouldn't make Joe much money...there is no chance in hell he'll fight him unless Dawson beats some American have-beens like shot Tarver or faded Johnson, FAST...and if American TV buys into him big time...Comment

What are you talking about?
Hopkins has ducked Joe once - when it really mattered and now he is doing so again, by pricing himself out AGAIN! Hopkins has no intention whatsoever of fighting Joe...because he can make even more money fighting shot NAME Tarver or faded Johnson or whatever, without incurring the guaranteed L...
Only reason Joe insists on fighting a 43-year old, faded Hopkins is because he has this silly obsession about being recognised by silly Americans who are only impressed by fighters who have fought big American NAMES...

Read the news section, he said the only fight he wants is Joe C to get rid of his 0. He said hes not concerned about any other names because he will not be motivated. An offer was made to Joe and he turned it down, what more do you want? Joe keeps bringing up any other name to not fight Hopkins, when Hopkins is the only PPV fight out there for him, i dont get it.Comment

Joe is probably using the Winky as a negotiating stick to get Hopkins t sign...
and I repeat, NO WAY does Hopkins want to fight Joe, because everyone knows if he fought Joe, he would lose! And Hopkins is not an idiot! If he coudn't beat Joe when they were both in their prime, do you think he can beat a still close to his prime Joe when he is so faded?

Bottom line is if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. This is the reason Ricky Hatton has come to America and has stated it various times. now as for Joe, and people like Abraham, they have been more concered about fighting people to keep their undefeated records going like that means something, thats what it boils down to. Hopefully Joe really has a desire to be the best so this fight can be made.So you believe everything they feed you? Good luck!
