reason why hopkins fights smaller fighters

[Mr. Fantastic]

Tell that to Eric Morales. At least Hopkins can still win.

Morales isn't fighting guys 2 weight divisions below him either.

[Mr. Fantastic]

Pavlik brings more money. And it was Pavlik who pursued Hopkins, not the other way around. Also, it's funny how the so called weight difference was only brought up after Pavlik got served. All that was talked about on here was how Pavlik was going to kick Hopkins ass. Don't use the weight excuse now. Pavlik is a huge middlweight who can easily fight at 175.

I brought it up before the fight, and even with other fighters way before that, so it wasn't anything new to me. You act as if I'm a Pavlik fan, never was one and never will. Yes, he can fight at 175 fighting mediocre fighters.

So Tarver and Calzaghe are mediocre huh? Please. That's laughable.

So by your logic Morales is a chicken **** for fighting Pacquiao who came up from flyweight. Please.

[El Dominicano]

Pavlik is a much bigger draw then Dawson. B-Hop has stated that the only thing that'll motivate him to fight...is a Calzaghe rematch. I still think B-Hop vs Dawson is still possible...I'm hoping for it

[Mr. Fantastic]

Tarver isn't that great to begin with. All his hype is the Jones win & the Rocky movie. Calzaghe beat Hopkins, he STILL had to come up to face him lol. How many Great Fighters has Hopkins beat HIS SIZE??

[THE REED]

I think also when you compare roy vs bernard...

Roy ALWAYS fighting bigger fighters and bernard ALWAYS fighting smaller fighters should be taken into account...

I take nothing away from Bernard, hes still doin what hes doin at 43, but still....all his big wins have come against fighters moving up to face him, except for tarver... and in that win, tarver had to lose 40 pounds from the rocky movie.

[MANGLER]

Dude beat everybody put in front of him. He didn't go outta his way to pick on smaller guys, they called on him and he fought em.

Pac was at 125 before he faced Morales at 130, not 112. Try again.

Dude as much as I respect you and think you're one of the best posters on here. I don't recall them calling him out, I do recall however, him calling them out.
