Hopkinis always took calculated risks....Pavlik, Trinidad, Wright...all 3 of the best names on his ledger had to move up to face him....lets be real Wright and Pavlik had no business at 170

Jones was the FAR bigger draw
Jones was considered pound for pound #1 in the world
Jones already held a win over him
The MW belt Hopkins defended for so long was left by Jones
Hopkins turned down 60-40, turned down $6m and said in Ring magazine that it wasn't enough to face "Superman."

Hopkins wasnt confident he could beat that version of jones...no one in their right mind would give a fighter they already beat 50/50....thats why hopkins priced himself out
