    Assuming that's true... I just came thinking about that fight.

    Or it was Jin. Maybe both. I need to go change shorts.

      That would be a good, competitive fight. I hope it happens. It would be a great undercard fight for the Cotto-Margarito PPV.

        Probably Jin. I believe HBO mentioned the Collazo/Clottey thing briefly, it hasn't been confirmed yet but I don't see anything that would hold it up. Collazo is already in shape and was set to fight on May 31st, Clottey has been chomping at the bit for a title since he broke his hand against Margarito.

        It's a win/win for both guys.

          And for the fans. Both have fan friendly styles and would make a great fight to watch and a great match up. If they go through with it they'll each make good $$$ and fans.

            Precisely. Both guys are excellent fighters who don't get their due, but that's hard to do when you're not a superstar like the rest of the WW division. Even the loser would benefit from the exposure and purse money, and if it was close a rematch would be even bigger.

            Winky Wright also, what's up with that dude? Hopkins really put his ass on that milk carton didn't he?

              He's waiting for Simon to get out of jail for a rematch! Actually, come to think of it... I think he got out earlier in the year or something.

              Not really, well... I don't think so at least. He's probably trying to figure out a low risk high reward fight for himself now that his options are becoming more limited and he doesn't have many fights left in 'em.

                    He fell off the face of the earth, didn't he?

                    Last news I heard on him was in early 2007 that he was opening a Hospital in his hometown in Ghana, and planned to fight again back in '07. what happened to the plans nobody knows.
