reason why hopkins fights smaller fighters

[Mr. Fantastic]

Not only that they bring $$$$$$$$$$$ and name recognition. There really isn't a fighter a live, bigger or smaller, that would turn down a fight with oscar or tito. That's just ******. yeah, ok, I'll turn down my biggest pay day by far, plus a chance for millions of people to know my name, all because some people on the internet years from now will say i beat a smaller man. lol makes sense

And what about the other smaller men, after he had that recognition & $$$??

[egreezy]

because he's younger than Hopkins and #1 LHW so its expected. But anybody know how much Hopkins made in Pavlik fight? I'm thinking if HBO threw twice that amount at him to fight Dawson he would do it.

anybody know

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

And Pavlik was 175 when he fought Hopkins. So was Calzaghe. Try again.

Hopkins always wants $$$ fights. If he'll make a lot of money he'll fight that person. Simple.

[Testdead]

Then why not Dawson?? He's the future?? lol He didn't seem to think the same for Pavlik.

Theres always the next guy. Before Hopkins beat Pavlik if you asked the board who was better between pavlik and Dawson they would say Pavlik.

Dawson brings no money to the table if he did Nard would happily school him.

B-Hop faced ??? rather then face ???...cuz if we ain't going there. Then there ain't no point in complainin

What was your take on DLH wanting to fight Pac before he got beat?? if you don't mind me asking.

Popkins got better with age. That's why he beat guys like Wright, Tarver and Pavlik.

I picked Pacquiao to win (and won millions of e-points). I thought it was a great fight since boxing doesn't have too many mega fights these days and that was one of the few that could have been made. Size obviously doesn't matter too much in boxing.

And the arguement about hopkins beating smaller fighters is kind of void anyways since hopkins doesnt use his height or size advantage when he fights. He's too defensive and crouches his head down and is a counter puncher.

So I take it you were one of the very few who criticized DLH for fighting a "smaller" Pac for $$$$ then.

Not a void at all bro, he wasn't able to bully Cal like he did to Pavlik. Weight helps alot in boxing.
