    King Contacts Schaefer For Hopkins-Trinidad

    Following his split-decision loss to Joe Calzaghe in Las Vegas, Bernard Hopkins told the media that promoter Don King contacted Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, about putting together a rematch between Hopkins and Felix "Tito" Trinidad. Hopkins stopped Trinidad in the twelfth-round back in 2001 to unify the middleweight division. [details]

      I wouldnt mind seeing Trinidad getting beat again and the winner (B-Hop) getting Jones-Calzaghe winner. Trinidad is sad, robbing his fans and his legacy because he wants to continue to fight for money and nothing else. Trinindad could be a player at 160 but instead just wants big fights that he has no chance in so he pursues big names at catch weights.

        Calzaghe will never give a rematch to Hopkins no matter what happens with him and Trinidad. Never.

          I would love to see Trinidad boil back down to 154, if he can manage it (and I don't see why not, most of the 170 pounds he was carrying against Roy looked like fat to me). He could really make some noise in that division.

          Even 160 would be good. But a rematch with Hopkins? Jermain Taylor at 168? Come on, Tito...

              Uh oh. Pavlik is lurking around 160. Kelly would be bad news for Trinidad.

                Just when you thought that PBF vs DLH was going to be the worst rematch of the year...

                  Yeah, but better news than Hopkins. I mean, we've already seen Tito get his ass kicked by gramps; at least the Pavlik beating would be new...

                  For some reason, I imagined the guy in your avatar saying this. Then I laughed. I'm still laughing a bit, actually. LMAO. Ass right Off.

                    Then Sugar Ray Leonard could make yet another comeback and face the winner. Seriously, old man tournaments=bad.

                    In 6 months time all 4 of those guys should have retired for good.
