          I don't discuss Hopkins career with haters.

          Your too blinded by your hate for Hopkins to give him credit for anything.

          If Hopkins was to beat Roy, you wouldn't give him **** all credit because like i stated above your a childish hater.

            Warp told me that Jones was going to offer Green step-aside money in order to take the Hopkins fight, so, if that's true, then there is no Green fight for the time being.

                It's crazy that a guy who had 20 middleweight defenses and unified all four of the ABC belts (and picked up the ring belt obviously) exclusively fought junior middleweights.

                Doesn't it speak to the talent of those undersized fighters if they were able to beat the natural middleweights who held the titles?

                For instance, doesn't it prove Trinidad's viability as a middleweight since he crushed William Joppy to win the WBA middleweight title?

                It's hard to figure out how people can have so many bad things to say about Hopkins's career. For the moment, since 1990, I'd say he is top 5 resume, with people like Pacquiao, Whitaker and maybe a couple of others ahead of him.

                  Weird. Jones sure is being active... I wish fighters in their prime would behave this way.

                    His 4th fight in 12 months... and the bernard fight will be his 5th in 15 months... the most active hes ever been in his career... meanwhile nard will be 45 with a 17 month layoff... this fight isnt that one sided
