    Hopkins turned down $4 million. Won't fight Mikkel Kessler!

    Hopkins was offered a whopping 4,000,000 USD to fight Mikkel Kessler in Copenhagen.

    Hopkins didn't want none.

    Hopkins said he didn't want to fight Chad either... His logic is that they are young and he doesn't want to ruin their careers. The funny thing is he did a good job of doing that to the twenty-six year old Pavlik.

        The last time Hopkins fought outside his home country, he was given a beating. He's been afraid to leave the comforts of the US ever since.

          Hopkins said on Friday Night Fights that he still has a couple of fights left in him but only against Joe Calzaghe or Jermain Taylor.

              Are you serious? He was knocked down twice against Mercado and beat him up so badly that they were forced to give Bernard the draw. Hopkins has never been roughed up throughout his whole career. The closest he came to that was when he fought Roy Jones.

                He was respectful towards Pavlik in the post fight interview.

                    I think he realized how Pavlik felt after the fight, and that's why he told Pavlik not to let the fight ruin him. Hopkins is a tough fight for anybody at this stage.
