    Golden Boy.

    What's next? A thread about De La Hoya picking Mosley over Mayweather?

    IMO not because of being in the GB together.

    They share the same trainer.

    So un-surprising, it's not worthy of it's own thread. Sorry, Morrissey.

    It's the same as Oscar picking SSM: Golden Boy's interests.

    Big surprise, anything else like Bob Arum is a liar, Roy Jones is shot, or Chris Arreola is a fat ass?

    Hopkins is not like Dela Hoya, who is really a promoter now.

    Hopkins is fairly articulate, and brutally frank, about his thoughts.

    Hopkins also said Miranda was the next great middleweight champ.

    Of course.

    He's rooting for a black american.

    Floyd is torn for his own fight!

    I don't think so.

    From memory he said something like "Don't be surprised if Hatton shocks the world" or something like that - But stopped short of picking Hatton to win.

    He said that and I believe he is 100% right.

    When Hopkins spoke on the same topic before his fight with Ornelas, he did not pick a winner.

    That he is now picking a winner leads me to believe he also believed this but was reluctant to say so before Shane had the fight.
