Hopkins is considering similar appeals to the WBC and IBF.

Moments ago former undisputed middleweight king, Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins told **********.com, "I know I won the fight and even the people like you who somehow thought I lost the fight had to give me the twelfth round. A blind man could see that I won the twelfth round, the round which all the belts are supposed to be on the table. I don't know how this kind of controversial, disputed split decision gets you ranked #10 pound for pound according to someone like you Greg Leon, because all I'm getting is love from the people. Everywhere I go they're telling me what I already know, there's people over here in Philadelphia that are literally stopping their cars to show me love and that can't be ranked #10 pound for pound."
