If Hopkins is gonna fight a SMW, he better fight him at that weight

I thought Hopkins told Williams that he couldn't get below 170 lbs.

All this hate towards Hopkins on this board is getting tiresome and ridiculous. Especially the comments regarding him fighting "smaller guys". It's boxing. You move up in weight you better be ready to put on a fight (against a champion) - if not, then stay away. Of course, paper-boxing-fans don't know anything about that...

Richard doesn't specifically say why Chad is out.

Because Chad is high risk / low reward. ****ing boxing politics. GBP and Hopkins are avoiding Dawson like the plague.

The old man is afraid he'll lose to Dawson. And GBP doesn't see the $$$, so they'll fight who ever brings the most cash to the table.

Chad's going to need to just be a great champion, cause clearly he's not getting big fights.

I think Bute and Dawson are Bernard's toughest opponents. He needs to fight one of those guys or get lost.

hopkins wont fight a guy bigger than him like adamek,although i think he would take his soul if he did
