Comments Thread For: Hopkins vs Pascal Possible For December 18 on HBO

[THE REED]

explain yourself?

Bernard hopkins is currently #4 Light Heayweight and was the Ring LH champ not long ago.

Lets cut the **** Natas...




I don't care about his ranking...

Who was the last RANKED LHW Bernard fought?

[Ravishing]

"...and once again..LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORRRRLLLDDDD....Bernard...The Executionerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr HOPKINSSSSSSSSSSSS"

What does it really matter? Pascal called him out and Hopkins accepted.

Except in the situation as a mandatory, fighters can pick and fight who ever they wish

I honestly think people are upset because Hopkins has such a big chance of taking Pascals titles and we wont be able to see a Dawson-Pascal rematch

Lets cut the **** Natas...

Huh? Cut what ****?? I'm stating facts:

Does it matter? Calzaghe. The fight with Pavlik is still a legit win, you know that. Roy Jones and his tune up fights, sure those weren't **** but that's why he dropped from #1 to #4 and off the P4P list.

You don't think Hopkins is a solid first defense for Pascal? Come on man, that's a risky fight on his part, he has dawson rematch coming up pascal could have picked a bum if he wanted to and it would have sold in canada.

Funny how B Hop never even entertained the thought of fighting Chad when he was considered one of the best. Why fight Pascal now? Because we all know Chad had a very bad day and was still on his way to knocking Pascal out. We all know pascal tires and has stamina issues. B Hop is cherry picking just like most of these fighters. I am a fan of B Hop but this was a ***** move imo.

If Hopkins pulls off a win, he'll retire before giving Dawson a shot! There's no way he'll fight him. The only reason he's fighting Pascal is because he saw him get hurt a few times in the fight with Dawson.

Listing out the ring rankings does nothing for me.


I dont care if he's top 4.


Who was the LAST RANKED LHW champion he faced?

Calzaghe? A career Smw.... and he lost the damn fight.


Pavlik.. is a good win.. not great, it was at 170lbs... and he sure as **** wasn't ranked in the LHW division.



To answer your question.. it was Tarver.... FOUR years ago.

Winning, matters.


I'm fine with him fighting Pascal.. but his ranking in the division is absurd

Has nothing to do with my post.

There is so much bull**** in that paragraph that it's starting to smell.

Cherry picking the legit lineal champ, who is a unified champ with 2 titles and the Ring title as well and also beat the undefeated and #6 ranked P4P fighter?

Yup cherry picking at its finest
