    Bernard Hopkins is just a paranoid ****** thug trying to get some "prestige". It shows with how he's handling Golden Boy telling him to retire. Bernard, you looked terrible against a punching bag, you're done. Nobody even wants to watch you against ANYBODY! Except for maybe a well-promoted HW fight or Chad Dawson (which would still only do like 125k PPV's....tops)

      How they could have ever justified Hopkins on PPV at any point in his career IDK

      He just was never that popular nor did he ever have a big fan base, now forget it I wouldn't go out of my way to even watch this one.

      I would rather Joe fight someone like Glenn Johnson as ppl are always saying he ducked him when trying to discredit Joe.

        I'll never pay to see Bernard fight. The dude is the biggest conman boxing has ever seen.

        If Joe really wants to comeback then he should either wait for the super six to be over, or take on Lucian Bute or Chad Dawson.

        Bernard is DONE as a professional fighter.

        And that Khan vs. TBA will turn out to be KHAN vs. PRESCOT or Jose Cotto.

          calzaghe vs hopkins 1 was already boring enough, now they are both older which means it will even be more boring

            Thats what BHOP called Calzaghe, yet I think both of their careers are very comparable.

                  Calzaghe= Wales man, attendance would probably have been more if it had started earlier. It started at 1.30 am over here, so that all the yanks could catch it at prime time.
                  I can understand why Joe would want to rematch Hopkins considering the slightly unsatisfactory manner of his victory, however it would probably make for a poor fight again as Hopkin's is a dirty, cheating fecker.
