Shocker: Bernard Hopkins Wants Oleg Maskaev

[IwatchBoxing]

You can just say Oleg is slow compared to Bhops but Old? Bhops is gonna be 42 very soon dude.

Toney is 38, I think Bhop and Toney should fight at Heaveyweight. Why not? It'll be sort of legit, after everything that has happened and seeing that their still at it...or let Oquendo wrap his hands around Hopkins neck..

[Mr. Ryan]

Isn't Tim Smith exclusively Boxingscene.com? I was talking to him today, hes cool peoples. Damn, Secondsout is good stuff.

[Abe Attell]

Well isn't that what RJJ did?

Damn I'm getting crazy just thinking of what you have just stated. That would be unparalled in the history book.

A former Middle weight titlist and a former light Heavy weight titlist unifying the heavy weight titles?

It is what Roy did, that's what pisses me off...at least guys like Wlad, Oleg, Sergei, etc. seem to have in their intentions to unify the title.

[Nautilus]

That will be a great match up.

why does it piss you off? who says these former middleweights have an oblgation to try the impossible and unify the belts? even if they could, these damn sanctioning bodies and whatever political bs woln't allow a unification. so what's wrong with them attempting to give an exciting fight for the fans and beef up their record, prestige and wallets?

[Southpaw16]

Seriously, these alphabet belts mean absolutely nothing, so he wouldn't be restoring anything by getting one of them back. He should stay retired.

[Piggu]

Christ are you serious? I'm shocked... Very shocked.

Shocked indeed.

I'm going to put a picture of that beautiful German flyweight in my sig.

If they want to go for the challenge to beat a "Heavyweight" fine, but don't go after the person simply because he has a title, which is one of many, and is perceived to be the weakest of all the other. Don't call yourself the "Heavyweight Champion" even though you don't have any intention to give the other "Heavyweight Champions" a fight.

Roy fought Ruiz...****ing Ruiz, not Lennox Lewis...don't call yourself a "Heavyweight Champion" and not fight "THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION"...lets not bring up that Lennox didn't fight Ruiz because nobody wants to pay for Johnny to hug Lenny.


Like I said, if Bernard wants to fight the top guys, fight the rest of the belt holders...fight Wlad and Sergei as well.

Hey Leo!

I am sure you would not like it to happen!!!!!

[Abe Attell]

Sam Langford, now there is a guy with balls...he went after the best in their primes, and I am talking about EVERYBODY...he even tried to get a fight with Jack Dempsey, despite being past his prime and partially blind.


I am not saying that Bernard doesn't have "balls", but unlike Langford, Bernard isn't going right after the best in the division, even though that is debatable, I don't think the majority think it is Oleg.
