    BERNARD HOPKINS EX ‏@THEREALBHOP 7m Yes my next fight is the mandatory Murat


    Via his twitter.

    I guess it's a stay busy fight? because fighting some random mando bum isn't a good way to use your reserve tank miles.

    Blatant duck of Nathan Cleverly.

    Probably just saying that to please the IBF until he drops their belt.

    I just can't imagine Hopkins wasting his time on this.

    No there's an article fat dan has wrote where he's quoting Schaefer and it looks like it's a done deal.

    The guy is almost 50. He fight, or not fight, whoever the hell he chooses.

    He wants to fight (as does Cleverly) but it looks like they can't unify until they complete their mando obligations Hopkins with Murat and Cleverly with Krasniqi and Braehmer.

    Damn...

    Well, that sucks.

    Cleverly or Shumenov unifications would have been amazing. Could have been the "oldest man to ever unify titles" and that record would stand longer than the current one he has of oldest champ ever.

    Looks like Mandos got in the way (for now) seems they're getting stricter with them, Cleverly has two complete TWO before he get's the all clear from the WBO.

    I actually prefer he stay active against someone not as threatening. He can unify after, that would be awesome.

    Good stay-busy fight. Unless he really falls off overnight, he'll do another one of his schooling somebody 15-20 years younger routines.

    I wanted him to pull Michael Spinks out of retirement.
