    I seriously doubt this fight happens and Hopkins is probably just making **** up. It makes more sense for Winky to fight Trinidad again then Bernard...

          Lets hope this doesn't go down. Other then being a boxing fan, I have no interest in this fight at all.

                The fight would actually sell a lot of PPV's. Jones vs Trinidad sold 500,000 PPV buys and there was 15,000 Fans in attendance. Hopkins/Trinidad II will be a mega fight and a big event and will be heavily promoted.
                I don't think it will sell. For one reason Hopkins is not nearly as popular as Roy and people gotta know now that Trinidad is past it even if they weren't yet hip to that fact back when he faced Roy.

                This is the way HBO is thinking though and they're going to lose their ass again. I won't hate on the boxers for taking them to the cleaners though. Rather I applaud them for it.

                  The Hops vs Tito fight was entertaining, but Winky didn't let Tito do anything at all, and dominated him even worse than Hopkins did.

                    This isn't even a competitive fight.

                    Tito gets brutally knocked out, worse than the first fight. But for 15mill, who wouldnt take it?
