    Don't you think you're being a little hard on him? I mean he was P4P, Ring LHW champ and coming off two good wins, then he loses to Calzaghe (P4P #2 in the world) in a close fight and suddenly you're writing him off? He easily has enough left in the tank to be competitive with lots of fighters IMO.

      Hah, so I guess DeLaHoya is fighting Cotto even after he looses to Margarito. Oscar must be afraid of Tony after the few occasions they sparred together, he must of left some bruises on old Oscar.

        Odd Arums one min showing no interested in Hops telling him to retire, the next min discussing a possible fight with him. Don't blame people for doubting Arums motives at times, still at least he's open to fights.

        I think Pavlik v Kessler is a much better match up, why Kelly's team wouldn't pick that one over Hops is beyond me. Either way, nice to see Pavlik moving on from Calzaghe, and down his resume of ppl he's beaten already

          Hopkins won't fight Pavlik. He said himself that he didn't want anything to do with the 20 something fighters! Last time I checked Pavlik was 26.

              A Pavlik - Hopkins fight would be a bad choice. If I were Kelly, I wouldn't make the Hopkins fight for $100 Million. Not because I think he'd lose the fight, but because there is no need to go up to Lt. Hvy. right now nor is a Hopkins victory going to do much for his career at this point.

                Hopkins, please retire. You had a great career, but you're style has become reminiscent of a John "Pump&Hump" Ruiz. It's been a chore to watch you as of late.

                  Styles Make Fights,

                  Hopkins, Winky, RJJ, All fighters who Beat Trinidad, all Defensive style fighters, Except for RJJ he was simply too big for Tito.

                  The Best fight for the fans would be Trinidad vs Pavlik or the
                  winner of the Abraham vs Miranda Fight. Trinidad goes in there to fight Pavlik is a ****er that would be an entertaining fight!

                  Hopkins and RJJ should just retire!!
                  Winky cant get anyone who will fight him because of his style.

                      Oh well... strange things happened before...
                      You'll never know what will happen next...
                      I guess Bhop got one more fight left in him, Slappy Joe didnt actually beat him black and blue... he was slapped most of the fight... hahaha... But against Kelly??? Hmmm...

                      DLH vs Cotto (if Cotto wins) make more sense at least its DLH's last fight... you'll soon gonna miss him... At least he has the balls to call-out Cotto... unlike, PBF... a mere mention of Cotto's name sends shivers down his spine and would like to hide inside a closet... hahaha...

                      Let's just wait if these talks will make it to the ring...
