    It's funny when certain fighters dominate their division and people harp on them to move up or their a bum. But when Hopkins stays in a division and dominates bums and smaller fighters he is considered the man. I'm sorry I appreciate older Hopkins more who moved up beat Tarver and then dominated Pavlik. Now he is going to fight Kovalev that's HOF balls right there not sticking around dominating can 2 or 3 times.

    Hopkins wouldn't have fought Calzaghe at all if that division meant nothing to him troll. Pay attention.

    waaaaait a minute that fight was at LHW.

    And I suppose it had nothing to do with being a good pay day? Hopkins would fight anyone if the pay was right.

    troll says what again?

    The fight was at LHW yes but Hopkins saw Calzaghe as a worthy fighter in a division that you say he didn't give credit too how does that make sense? See you don't!

    Ok let me answer very carefully so you understand.

    If Hopkins didn't think SMW wasn't worth a damn he wouldn't see Calzaghe as a worthy Challenger. Does that make sense to you? So you can now stop telling people that you don't have time to explain your delusions.

    Hopkins complimented Calzaghe, telling ESPN: "It's not that Calzaghe is not worthy of the fight. He is. He has become a major player in boxing."

    How can you become a major player if you are in a division he doesn't regard as legit?

    by unifying it partially, by defending a title 21 times.

    Explain why you don't think 21 defences of a title is important, we will leave partial unification out of it to make it easy on you.

    So by changing the subject you realize that Hopkins did regard the SMW division?

    its the same subject, not a change.

    he rated Joe as good but beatable given his weak resume but excellent longevity, that's my guess.

    Why you failing to put words in my mouth attempt, Mona?

    Not putting words in your mouth and who is Mona?

    You keep saying he didn't value the SMW division. When he obviously did.

    I don't know, your boyfriend, Mona? whoever it is you are dreaming of, don't bring irrelevancies into this.

    I've made it quite clear that I think Hopkins might undervalue the SMW division because it was around when he was pro.

    Whats the problem you have with me suggesting this? tell me.

    Glen Johnson did well at MW and LHW but was only a SMW journeyman.

    course you give credit to someone making 21 defences even in a fledgling division (if Bernard considers it a weak division). It requires great longevity and top matchmaking. Why are you still asking me this?

    Why do you think Bernard should not give value to 21 defences? answer this.
