No surprise. HBO hates GB at this point. Besides, IMO this would be a boring fight. I know I'm in the minority but I think all of Hopkins fights are boring. I like guys like Mayweather and Lara but I don't really enjoy Hopkins and wards fights.

Can you really lame HBO? Even before HBO gave GBP the boot, they pretty much had all their fights on Showtime, with the exception of the HBO contracted fighters they had to keep on there.
Now they have a fight that benefits them except the opponent is an HBO guy so now they want to come crawling back? I agree it's ridiculous and it hurts both parties in the long run, but it's hard to blame HBO for shunning Showtime.
I mean, if one of your clients took all his business to a rival company, only to show you love two times a year, how would you feel? All this after working closely together and helping each other out for many of years.

I'll watch it on ESPN2 and pay if I have to. If Bernard wins this fight, then he is a surefire legend and top 15 Greatest of all time.
Why is HBO getting in the way of history and greatness???

If he beat Adonis Stevenson, then he beats the lineal Light heavyweight champion, and he then becomes the oldest Lineal World Champion in the history of the world.
Yes. Top 15.
Bernard Hopkins is a living legend. Whether you like it or not. Give me 15 names that have accomplished more.
