    Comments Thread For: Schaefer Wants Big Names for Hopkins, Won’t Name Them

    Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions isn’t always secretive about potential next opponents for his fighters. After all, earlier on Oct. 26, he’d mentioned several names as possible future foes for Canelo Alvarez. Yet he wasn’t specific at all later that night when it came to who light heavyweight titleholder Bernard Hopkins could face following this past Saturday’s win over Karo Murat.

    “Obviously we want a big fight, and there’s some big names out there,” Schaefer said at the post-fight press conference. “We’ll have to see who’s going to step up. Maybe some of those youngsters change their minds after tonight’s performance. You’re not necessarily making it easier for me, Bernard, with a performance like that.”

    Later, Schaefer added: “There’s a lot of names out there. I have a plan. I’m not going to tell you guys now who, because that would be ****** negotiating on my part. I like to get big fights done, because the fans enjoy it and that’s what gets me going.”

        I wouldn't mind the Shumenov fight. That's a very easy belt for Hops to grab before he tries pushing for the Kovalev-Stevenson winner (if they fight sometime next year). Then again, there is the winner of Ward-Rodriguez too...

              Just have a weird feeling they're going to try to make Mayweather-Hopkins.

                i doubt it, that wouldnt sell well and i dont think floyd would go up that high in weight, hopkins will fight stevenson or go to 160 to face a name there

                  hope hop stays away from stevenson and kov very bad fights for him at this stage in his career, i think he moves down for possibly ward, froch and possibly even chavez jr if they could come to an agreement cuz arum is close to cashing out on jr

                    He can only fight Shumenov. Ward, Kovalev and Stevenson are locked on HBO.
