    This fight would suck. Tito can't beat hopkins and hopkins dosen't knock out people anymore. Why would Hopkins want this fight after his great win over pavlik? Dosen't he have enough money? Fight a real opponent or retire.

      Unlike that quitter, Cotto.
      Cotto is a quitter?

        15 million... Does Pavlik not have a better chin than Tito currently? I think Bernard could put him away, if he really wanted to. 15 million... Hopkins may not be crazy about this rematch, but the money seems to be quite nice. 15 million...

          At least it has the element of Tito wanting revenge. He got peat down, and his nation was put down as well. If he is indeed such a proud Puerto Rican, I can see it as being enough to make it rather interesting. 15 million surely can't hurt as a farewell present. Seems like some of you need to sober up, or get off the "stuff".

              Well, that makes for something exciting when you dont know what to expect.

              This fight? Bernard wins, it's GUARANTEED.
              Absolutely no doubt in my mind. If there is ever a time where I would bet real money on it, it's this. There is NO WAY Trinidad is beating Hopkins. But, hey let's face it...the average puertorrican who enjoys boxing occasionally will be all over this fight. Disgusting...$15 million?! Seriously?! It's like Trinidad is second (or at least third) to Oscar in terms of financial attraction. :|

                That's because Trinidad is a huge financial attraction; right behind Oscar. He's got charisma, nice smile and a general people's champ.

                If the odds are really altered though to favor Hopkins which I assume...is 8-1 to big a gap? Anyways, if they are really outrageous odds, I have no problem putting a few hundred down just in case a magical left hook reappears from his WW days

                    I never imagined there'd be talk of such a fight at this point in time, but how can anyone blame Tito from coming back and accepting 15mil....shoot as long as he tries and doesn't get knocked out, TiTo will smile all the way to the bank.....I would just hope that boxing fans wold not support this silly matchup.....Enough already, Hopkins knows he'll get a an easy win and a very easy payday.....We all know that TITO is beloved by his fans, but even they must wake up and smell the coffee.....TITO, please stop you are tarnishing your boxing legacy!!!

                      I agree that Hopkins has this fight, but I have to support my boy. So...

                      If this happens I'll bet anyone on here that Tito wins.

                      I also got 5k on Juanma winning tomorrow.

                      Any takers?
