Calzaghe = Retired. And even if he wasn't, he probably wouldn't give Hopkins the satisfaction of a rematch. Arbraham = Would be career suicide and his 0 would go. Froch = See above. Dawson = Hopkins don't want none of this young lion.
According to Adamek's people, HBO is very interested in putting together Hopkins-Adamek, so that's the most likely answer. Unless Hopkins and HBO can miraculously lure Calslappy out of retirement. :smoke
I hope BHop retires, he will go down as a hall of famer and has nothing left to prove. He's 45 godamnit.. time will have to catch up to him eventually.
Everyone who knows anything about boxing knows B-Hop is a "crack-head". You can see how unhealthy he looks and how his addiction effects his performance in the ring...:huh
Not so sure of this. I think he would take this fight for the right money, and after seeing his last bout with Tarver, I definitely think Hopkins beats him. Dawson does not fight hard every minute of every round. He seems to have some stamina issues, even if he does a good job pacing himself. I think Hopkins can outslick him and take advantage of Dawson's 'down moments'.
I respectfully disagree...I think B-Hop wants no part of Dawson. If he did, I'm sure they could get that fight made...I, for one, don't expect to see it happen.
If it ain't Dawson, there isn't any point in my view. Maybe in his view, Adamek represents yet another weight class and title belt but in my view, cleaning up another young guy at LHW is more viable for him, has bigger name recollection and the fact that Dawson is undefeated comes into things. He'd beat Dawson, no question about it. Dawson is suffering from Lacy-like hype due to some performances against the old guard of his division.
Hopkins all ready stated he would be glad to go to Wales and knock out Calzaghe in front of his home crowd.
I hope hopkins vs holyfield. if holyfield could beat Valuev, this would be realized already. if hopkins wants HW title still, Valuev is best opponent. hopkins is much possible to win. particulary, very hard to catch hopkins for slow Heavyweight like Valuev.
In a interview in Boxingtalk he said that He was done boxing, because they where no more lucrative fighter for them to fight the only fight that He was working for was the Trinidad rematch but the fight could not go because of the 15 million contract that king have with Tito. I expect Hopkins to fight again maybe the rematch with Trinidad but i do not expect him to fight any other fighter around, maybe Adamek. But so far He is retired but not confirmed.
