        But if it's true he's pissed off at all the attention given to MM, then it shows jealousy- obviously

          I read the piece and it sounded to me like Hops was trashing HBO, not Golden Boy.

                      That's really not a surprise, when you think about it.

                      HBO has treated Hopkins like **** since as far back as I can remember.

                      They were always extremely critical of his fighting style, his opposition, and his attitude.

                      They've barely given the man any credit within the last 8 years, aside from the Trinidad performance, the Tarver performance, and the Pavlik performance.

                      It no surprise that he wouldn't have a high opinion of them, given the way they've treated him.

                      As for his fighting career ; I've said it a million times already, Hopkins is finished. There's really nobody out there that can offer him the kind of money he wants, or the kind of "big name, legacy fight" he wants.

                      At the end of the day it's just not worth his time to put his aging body through yet another grueling training camp to fight a guy who doesn't offer him either of those things.
