Probably has something to do with the fact that Bradley actually beat Manny in their first fight, not that your comment had anything to do with the thread whatsoever.Comment

You're right. I mean we just saw Floyd's trainer come out and say they stymied negotiations in 2010 because they didn't want to accept OST.....oh waitComment

A challenge from Hopkins isn't realistic at all, and frankly it just makes him look foolish even laying down such a challenge.Comment

For the second time in as many fights, Bernard Hopkins called for the mother of all catchweight fights ***8211; a showdown with undefeated welterweight king Floyd Mayweather. The 49-year old wunderkind is fresh off of a 12-round light heavyweight title unification win over Beibut Shumenov, which took place on April 19 in Washington D.C.
The feat earned Hopkins the distinction of becoming the oldest fighter in boxing history to win a unification fight, a title fight and to capture a title ***8211; the latter two breaking his own records. Every win by Hopkins from here on out will make him the ***8220;oldest to***8230;***8221; honoree, though by mentioning Mayweather***8217;s name it***8217;s clear that he has his eye on a different kind of historic event.

Anyway, Floyd is far too selective and smart to meet Hopkins at any weight, because doing so opens up doors Floyd would rather not open up.
You meet Hopkins, a light heavyweight, at some catch-weight, then why not meet other light heavweights or super middle-weights.
Floyd doesn't want to open that door, nor should he.Comment
