Comments Thread For: Hopkins: I Won't Fight Ward, Even For $15 Million Dollars

How sweet of him. This is worse than the Klitschko brothers refusing to fight each other.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Bhop coming off sounding like a racist against Joe Calzaghe when he hyped up their fight between them by saying ignorant stuff like "I'd never lose to a White boy". I'm sure that has nothing to do with why some people dislike him, and the fact that he criticizes other boxers such as the Klitschkos calling them boring as if Bhop has some exciting fan friendly style himself.

Did you just admit you hate him because he said he wouldn't lose to a white guy? lol who cares I'm white and I take no offense to that. And personally I would rather watch Bhop than either Klitbro but thats just me

What about Carl Froch?

I would love to see that fight, I think Froch is tailor made for B-Hop.

You only fight fighters you can beat.

Roy Jones? Joe Calzaghe?

Can't believe Ward is willing to fall for this - I'm sure he knows what's going on. Seems like he's ok with it because he hasn't called him out or made concessions like Dawson did. It's just an old man trick any one of us would use in his position, but Ward is taking the bait. It could change, the way Hopkins has been patronizing him lately must get to him, I'm sure some part of him wants the fight.

Ward himself said he'll never fight Hopkins. Neither of these two want to fight each other because they have a mentor/protege relationship.

Well that's cool to see Hopkins and Ward are friends.

At 48, I think Bernard has earned the right to be a little picky about who he fights. Most former world champions at his age are being beaten by club fighters with a turkey sandwich as the purse.

[Drunk Punch]

Of course he would get beat and embarrassed. Is called Dirrell syndrome.

If Roy Jones Jr. did what you said, he would have been undefeated or have a lot less losses. Roy Jones Jr. has fought almost everyone, win or lose.

Ward needs to stop being so nice and making friends with other boxers

Isn't this the same thing Dirrell said?

No I'm not accusing Jones and Calzaghe of handpicking, I'm asking you why did Hopkins fight them if he only fights fighters he knows he can beat?

Let's keep it all the way real here. B-Hop is a cherry picker. He refused to fight Dawson until Pascal exposed him as a bleeder. He fought Pascal first since he peeped his style and decided that he could take him. I can't really too much about that because Pascal had the ring belt. He wasn't lining up to fight Cloud until Campillo exposed him. He'll probably face Cleverly next. I'd have more respect for him if he would've fought them prior to them being exposed.
