    He didn't. He bothered with Tito.

      Why would King care about Bernard's pro debut when he was out of shape? King, unlike you, doesn't let his bias affect his reasoning.

        His from the same era as McCellan, Benn, Toney, Collins, Nunn, Watson, Jackson, Eubank, Liles etc, how did he manage to miss all those guys?

                ok so he ko'd the man who ko'd joppy...what was the point in fighting joppy later on when he could have moved up to 168 and fought calzaghe, or better still prime jones was willing...instead we get robert allen 25, eastman, that barnburner with morrade hakkar, and that oscar de la doughboy get rich quick con fight...

                    i'm quite sure hopkins fans are hoping his first fight isn't...it would prove he's a natural lightheavy...you can look at him in the ring now and see he was a lightheavy all along...even steward said he was scaling down...hell hopkins admitted it..
