    green's comments have been pissing me off, talking about he's a legend now cuz of jones. His head is through the rough and he literally beat no one worth of note and lost to mundine. Fuuck that guy.

    Plus, the whole possibility of loaded wraps, having his wraps on 2 hours before the fight, etc etc etc and his "no comment" remark when asked about it adds to his doucheness.

      Why is HBO not interested in Adamek-Hopkins? A boxing guy has to take over for Ross Greenburg.

        Ademek's manager has a very different take on that story.

          Hopkins should fight Dawson or retire. I was personally hoping for Adamek but apparently that isn't going to happen.

          Also, I couldn't read the full interview on another website but the title said hopkins was bad mouthing Golden Boy. We'll see what unfolds here but there is definitely something going on
          What happened ИATAS206? How comes you are now agreeing with all the things I've been saying?

            No he doesn't, its just talk and no way Hopkins would go through with it.

              What does Ross Greenburg have against Tomasz Adamek?

                The shunning of Adamek is a DISGRACE. It's clearly on race grounds. Adamek is WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY more of a fighter than Dawson could ever hope to be. He is far more exciting and a multi weight champion and contender, what else do they want? Oh wait, I know - they want his skin to be black. That's why they are considering Paul Williams - a 147/154 lbs guy who happens to be considered for a 175+lbers' next fight (Hopkins!). How does that work?

                IT'S A DISGRACE.

                Bute and Green? What have they done? Nothing, Green is a bum with some power and Bute is a paper champ who has beaten noone of note.

                Hopkins needs to grow some balls and fight Adamek or the insanely boring Dawson.

                  well Adamek is a ****ing heavyweight now, and he doesnt have a title. would Bernard even want to take a risk like that before he fights a Klit or Haye?

                  Green is the logical choice, he just beat Jones and Hopkins will be going up in weight which he should do if he plans on at least one HW fight. And if BHop cant go below 175 then why are they talking about Bute????

                    Adamek has stated numerous times he is willing to drop to 200 where he is the TRUE CHAMPION. Hopkins has stated numerous times he would like to enhance his legacy by winning another title at a higher weight. Only thing is he realised Adamek is a natural born killer and shat his pants and is now making all kinds of excuses not to make the fight.

                      Ademek is a dangerous opponent, which is why Hopkins will never face him. He only fights guys if he can have all the cards stacked in his favor. For example Paul Williams doesn't have the power to hurt him, and most probably wont be very effective carrying an extra 10-15 lbs.
