Light heavyweight star Bernard Hopkins said on "Friday Night Fights" last week that he was hoping to make a deal to fight the winner of the Nov. 7 rematch between Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson. Hopkins would like to fight around his 45th birthday, which is Jan. 15. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer said he'll try to deliver the fight for Hopkins but that he will also "revisit the conversations with Tomasz Adamek as well." Hopkins called out the cruiserweight champ a few months ago, but talks sputtered. Schaefer said he thinks he can make the fight now. "I had a good conversation with [Main Events CEO] Kathy Duva," Shaefer said. Schaefer said HBO is interested in either Hopkins-Adamek or Hopkins against the Dawson-Johnson II winner. "I think both fights are big," he said, although he acknowledged the Adamek fight would be bigger. "We must be total idiots if we can't get it done. If we want it, if HBO wants it and if they [Adamek's camp] want it, we can make it. I'm willing to go east and sit down with Kathy face to face and get it done."
