    The only thing I'd add is that he could have jumped to 175 anytime since he was having a hard time making weight.

    How do you feel about Warren recently saying Joe faked a lot of his injuries and pulled out of fights due to lack of confidence? Joking aside...
    Hopkins did back out.

    I feel the same way I do whenever Warren slags off one of the fighters that left him out of pocket.

            Again verbal over the phone agreement != a contract.

            But we've been over this a million times.

              Robert Allen was not a chump.

                He could of moved up in weight for a start, that is what most great fighters do when they cant find competition in their weight class.

                  Wasn't he down to fight Nigel Benn at one point? that would've been a good name on his resume (past his best or not).

                    I agree with that. Again see my post on his mental state and confidence. I think that had a lot to do with why he didn't and why he waited forever to go overseas.
