    How many times did Howard Eastman come over to the US before Hopkins fought him?

    Same question for Clinton Woods and Jones.
    I admit I have been biased and I apologize as I have become someone I would show much disdain my apologies. Your facts are correct. Becoming a mandatory is my suggestion and you can not avoid that. He could have made himself unavoidable.

    But I have said many things that are obviously not credible my apologies and my salute to your Victory.

      Dunno if thats sarcasm. I salute you if you're being genuine.

      However, mandatories are not unavoidable. People dodge them all the time to go after bigger fights.

          Genuine, I look like a big enough idiot(you could only stick so many feet in your mouth). I still don't think he is the best of his era, but I do place him amongst them. I couldn't choose a best as they all have their career peaks, and flaws. It is a very objective argument.

Hopkins and RJJ were, two guys that put offers out to Cal. Cal wouldn't fight them for price when in reality you have to take the risk and show confidence in your ability to become a superstar. Instead he waited till they were past prime and had losses. Cal is a solid fighter and a good man but an overrated fighter, hard to swallow but you have to some day.
              So if you're consistent I presume you have little or no respect for Roy Jones, who managed not to fight Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Steve Collins, Young Calzaghe or Darius M.

              Just saying...
