    FAO: Bernard Hopkins

    You're a light heavyweight.

    Your last six fights were at light heavyweight.

    You haven't fought below light heavyweight in 4 years.

    Fight Chad Dawson or just disappear.

    We dont agree much. But I agree with this.

    No more catch weight ****. Why fight Bute at 170 when you can fight the best fighter in your division at 175.

    Hops is back to picking on smaller fighters again.

          To who, you?

          As far as this poster goes, Cupocity303 approves of Hopkins's cherrypicking because well..... he is 46 years old with credentials and as a part-time fighter is entitled to cherrypick who he wants and when he wants it.

          He is not holding Dawson back or any other active light-heavyweight in any way shape or form, Hopkins isn't the Ring Magazine champ or any champ. Dawson is the champion.

            why? he doesn't need the money.

            it's not like he's entertaining anyone with his crap fights.

            what's the point?

            the guy is a joke.

                Sure he does, one always needs more money, definitely needs it more than Oscar did in his last few fights.

                it's not like he's entertaining anyone with his crap fights.
                So what? Don't watch him then, a 46 year old future hall of famer is past the point where he has to entertain crowds for a living. That's the job of the young gunners and those who know how to take a beating in a slugfest like Vasquez, Marquez and the likes.

                what's the point?
                Simple. Pick his spots as a 46 year old veteran should and is entitled to, make some more money, and keep winning. He is not obligated to fight anybody and isn't holding anybody back in anway.



                the guy is a joke.
                So you keep saying.

                    I applaud him choosing to fight Bute, great choice of opposition.
