Golden Boy has no need for Hopkins or Mosley at this point. Back when they were getting started they did. Not now.
I cannot even comprehend when black fighters talk about being held down in boxing. That is ****ing insanity.
Hopkins has only himself to blame for that. He has turned down many fights for bull**** reasons that only him could justify.
Hopkins is blowing smoke hoping Top rank will let him near another fighter he can bust up. hopkins will either fight david haye next or he'll be fighting Toney at 200lbs
If I'm Yvon Michel, **** the belt and **** Chad Dawson, I'm trying to get Hopkins in Montreal against Jean Pascal. You know, that fight would be huge here. And even in teh USA it would be big cause its a real 50/50 matchup to the public. And knowing the WBC they will probably make an "exception" so that they can get a sanctioning fee.
What did Richard say? I don't think its GBP's fault about the waiting for proper opponents for Bhop and Mosley though and I really doubt it has to do with their race.
BHop is kind of overreacting. Asked about Hopkins' retirement, Shaefer said "could be something which, as a friend, I might advise him to consider. I think it's time for his friends and family to have a serious talk with him."
