    Bernard Hopkins Comments on Trinidad's Loss, Possibility of Facing Wright

    In a recent interview with Bernard Fernandez of the Philadelphia Daily News, Bernard Hopkins aired out his thoughts on Winky Wright, Trinidad's loss and what all of this means for his career.

    Hopkins said that Trinidad had no choice, but to retire from the sport of boxing, his aura of being a feared fighter was no over.

    "Tito is a dead man. Nobody's going to pay big bucks to see me do to Trinidad what Winky already did to him. I softened up Trinidad real good for Winky or anybody else that can box a little bit I opened the floodgates. It's like when guys started standing up to Mike Tyson. The intimidation factor was gone. Same thing here. Nobody's scared of Trinidad now." said Hopkins [details]

    Hopkins vs. Tarver should be a good one.

      So who has more pull in boxing, seeing as how both Hopkins and RJJ want to fight the winner of the Tarver match?

        I don't think hopkins really wants it with tarver, he is a big tall southpaw, and hopkins age is really starting to show...I think tarver will ko johnson, and then hopkins if he steps up which he won't...But I will actually pay to see tarver fight toney...
