    It was shameful when Martinez was going after Floyd and Pac. This is even worse...at guy at 175 chasing a much smaller guy.

    Any more shameful than if Floyd's next fight is against Khan?

    I think Hopkins may be half-joking with this talk, but you can't blame him if he's hoping for a long shot that he can land the biggest draw in boxing one last time before bowing out.

    But Hopkins isn't in a real position of power here. Floyd is. Fighting someone on a bad run who has never fought at 147 is unbecoming of Floyd (should the Khan fight actually materialize as many predict).

    When Kovalev was Hopkins' mandatory, Hopkins refused to fight him, so Kovalev had to go to Cleverly's home town to win another title. Hopkins said that he will never fight Kovalev or Stevenson, NEVER! Even when Kovalev was Hopkin's mandatory!!! Hopkins lost to Dawson! He also lost to Calzaghe, Jones, Taylor..................I wonder if Hopkins will call Ricardo Lopez out of retirement? Perhaps Christy Martin?!

    That wasn't shameful at all. Martinez was willing to make weight in a division where Floyd holds a title.

    That's what I took from it - I think BHop was kind of poking fun at the suggestions of Sergio or GGG fighting Floyd, still, I doubt he'd turn it down if the offer came.:lol:

    Why would it be shameful, Floyd claimed to be the GOAT. If you're the GOAT you shouldn't have a problem taking on an old man like Bernard.

    Finally Floyd would be fighting someone that knows his style inside and out, finally fighting another ATG, hasn't fought that since he fought washed up Oscar. I would love to see that chess match.
