    Bernard Hopkins resume: How could he have improved it

    People seem to be divided on all thing Hopkins this isn't a hate thread, rather its about the viable opponents that Hopkins never fought. For example he could of accepted the 60-40 split to make Jones II happen. Their seems to be some disagreement over why Calzaghe-Hopkins never happened, but Calzaghe was a viable opponent. Also Hopkins did pull out of the Toney fight the day the contracts were to be signed. Your thoughts please?

    He could have not gone to prison. That would maybe have freed up some time.

    Was Calzaghe in prison pre Lacy?

        His resume is already great. Although he could have at least have the guts to be offensive minded on the Calzaghe fight.

            His resume would have been a lot better if he fought some lhw's, instead of 4 s blown ups.

                I think he redeemed himself from the Calzaghe damage against Pavlik. That was masterful.

                  He's allowed to make money. The blown welters are cash cows.

                    How about Chad Dawson, or even James Toney at cw? I know Toney is shot but who else is there for Hopkins to fight, another mw?
