he fought Roy in what '92 or '93 and Joe a couple of years ago!!......James wasn't fighting in the same weight class since B.Hop was green at MW......Joe was a SMW and if I'm not mistakin', thats a buck 68 and B.Hop was fighting at MW, a buck 60......Calzaghe was callin' out a MW!!!......the LHW dudes were not available or what?!?....Glen Johnson was ready and willing.....my bad, he was only the LHW champ and had put Roy to sleep for about 10 minutes.......come on man, this Calzaghe callin' out or wanting to fight B.Hop back in the day is so weird.....I mean guys come up and challenge not go call out dudes who fight 8 pounds south of his division!!.....why do people ride with that?!?......did B.Hop have a title or position that Joe needed?!?.....or better yet, think of it this way.....Joe Calzaghe was Joe WHO?!? back then......when B.Hop fought him, he was Joe Calzaghe......a world wide house hold name!!!......B.Hop fought Joe when Joe's star power was at it's peek!!!

Roy Jones:
He stopped the rematch from happening with Roy Jones back in the early 2000's by pricing himself out. Jones was the belt holder, the more popular fighter and he had a win over Bhop so Bhop should of accepted a 60/40 split.
James Toney:
Bhop pulled out of a Toney fight in 2003 after the contracts had been drawn up and were ready to be signed.
Joe Calzaghe:
Bhop has called out practically every JMW when he was at MW, so I see nothing wrong with a SMW calling him out. He turned down an offer of 2.5m-3m depending on your source. He was getting no where near that amount fighting his mandatories
Chad Dawson:
His been calling out BHop for a while now

lmao.
No it wasnt, the terms were agreed to and the contracts drawn up, but Hopkins demanded another 3m, which is why the fight didnt happen.

In a similar situation as with the "legends," a fight with Roy Jones Jr. never came to be. Jones won the Super Middleweight title in 1994 when Nunn lost his Super Middleweight title that same year.
"They offered us $125,000 and he [Roy Jones] was going to get 3 million" says Morgan with laugher in his voice. "There was no way Mike was going to take that kind of money when he was just as good or better than Jones."
From my understanding it is Jones who makes the fights and then sells them to HBO.Comment
