Court Transcripts show Hopkins did not want Tito rematch.

I do not think Hopkins would duck the guy that he gave a one sided beating from the opening bell and what does Tito have that is exxactly a threat to Hopkins....

(this goes for the nuthuggers)

Well, you never know if there was money involved the first time. Setup? Who knows. Only the parties involved can tell it like it was.

bernard doesnt want any challenges this late in his career, he just likes to fight robert allen. hopkins needs to fight taylor.

Hopkins is scared, cause this time Trinidad would come in with another gameplan, leaving Hopkins without anything to study.
Last time he knew how he would come in, this time he wont.

tito doesnt know anything else besides coming foward and throwing bombs. B_hop wants to get paid for all those years he was champion and never getting the millions

Yeah, but, guys.......Hopkins admitted that he didn't want to fight Trinidad back then when the rematch was proposed. He said he was too one-dimensional. He purposefully priced himself out of the rematch.

So he fought Allen three times cause hes five-dimensional?
The way you guys make excuses for Hopkins is sad.

I agree Hopkins shouldnt have fought so many bums back then

but all the options came now

Taylor was never a prospect, DLH just moved up and he fought, RJJ was busy with the HW, now that Glen Johnson is a big name and Tarver, Taylor ir a prospect, now theres Winky and Sturm etc, there was never any big fights for him, now there is...
but his fighting Taylor in July...
