Hopkins fought him Twice after the NC you dumbass.
Once in 1999 and once in 2004.
oh yes, you're right . All of the Allen fights were Mandatories though, something that should be considered. If you want to hold on to the belts for 20 defenses, there will be lots of mandatories on the way.
Hakkar was another mandatory. Hakkar, the WBC No.1-ranked mandatory challenger.
Quote from bhop after Allen fights:
"There's something wrong," he said, "when Roy Jones makes three or four million [dollars] to fight a guy like Richard Frazier and I get $225,000 to fight a mandatory against the fighter [Allen] deemed the most dangerous in the IBF ratings." (aka #1 challenger).
Exactly. Calzaghe fights a young, inexperienced fighter. Then he fights an old ass fighter. Dude will never step up to the plate. Combine that with some of the P4P softest punches and you have a very unexciting fighter. Come back Lennox!
What's wrong with that? Simon Brown held titles at multiple weight classes and at one point was considered one of the best pound for pound fighters in boxing. He had 9 title defenses before moving up in weight, KO'd Terry Norris in the 4th round for a belt, lost the rematch via decision and a couple fights after that lost to Hopkins.
