Hopkins + deadline = BS

[SacTown1]

Why in the world would Bernard Hopkins and Golden Boy Promotions issue a 24-hour deadline for a July match with Jermain Taylor, when we're ONLY IN MARCH?!?! Training camps take, at most, 12 weeks, and press tours take, at most, 2-3 weeks, so a July PPV fight only needs to be signed by about mid-April....

This deadline is BS, Hopkins is using this as a media stunt so that he won't look like the bad-guy, even though he knows that 1.5 million is about 1/2 of what Taylor is worth, & that a fight doesn't need to be signed in the next 24 hours in order to make it happen for July.

WE SEE RIGHT THRU YOU BERNARD! This BS deadline is exactly that, BS. This is Bernard's way of ducking Taylor and getting *****-made Felix Sturm instead. What a travesty.

Felix has a strong jab, he wont walk away from Bernard.

Id favor a prime and ready to go Sturm...The boy has potential.

The champ doesn't duck a prospect. If the prospect wants a good pay day and a shot, he'll take him up on it. If not, he'll keep padding his record til his day...

I don't think 'Nard thinks Taylor will take him up on it, but Hopkins is the champ. We'll see how eager Jermain is for his shot. I'm guessing he's in no hurry...

Not really bro. Hopkins camp is issuing this deadline just to give the Young man a chance to fight him. Im sure there's a lot of prospects against Hopkins. This deadline is legit and Sturm is not ***** made he is a hell of a puncher.

I wouldn't say Sturm is a hell of puncher.

Hopkins is just trying to show the world that Taylor isn't ready to fight him no matter what he or Lou Dibella says.

Sturm has 1 punch, a jab, the most basic of all punches, the Kid couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag, i was being a **** about calling him *****-made, he is a decent fighter, but extremely one-dimensional.....

Taylor is the only legit contender to the crown, and Bernard's people are trying to rush the young contender into a quick payday by giving him bogus ultimatum's, why can't the deadline be April 10th? Or april 20th? This would leave plenty of time to promote the fight.....and besides, other than these 2 guys, who could bernard fight?

[mic573]

Taylor is the one who has been saying he is willing to fight Hopkins for the past two or three fights. Nobody is rushing Taylor. Both Dibella and Taylor have been talking now Hopkins gives them the fight and they don't want it.

1.5 million is about 1/2 of what Taylor is worth, .

I think 1.5 million is Twice what Taylor is worth.

Maybe Hopkins doesnt want to risk losing to the young prospect, knowing full well all he has to do is wait for Trinidad to finish his fight with Winky for a huge payday.
