    It's better it's today. They both have more legacy and Joe was pretty much no one back then. His biggest wins were Eubank and Brewer. If Bernard had beat Joe, it would have meant not nearly as much as it would today.

    I'm glad it's happening this year insted of 2002.

      I see your point but don't you think at least in Hopkins case they would have been better, more action fighters then? B- Hop is clearly just trying to market his fights now.

        on the otherside if an unknown Joe beat that Nard it would have ****ed up Nard's entire career and cost him millions of dollars.

        That really isn't a ducking. I can't believe he almost signed for it.

        He must of watched a tape, and immediately said 'double it' and when Frank refused Hops was probably pleased.

          It'll be a first for both of them. They're both unique fighters in their own way.
