    Hopkins should've taken the Adamek fight instead of low balling him. I think he would've had a good shot at winning and that would've really helped his legacy.

    Bad move by Hopkins. He doesn't really have anyone out there that can really enhance his legacy outside of Chad Dawson and we all know he's not fighting him.

    Kessler could use the experience, win or lose to his advantage.

    When BHop negotiates the fight with Death, he'll probably hold out til he gets like 60/40, which is good. But then when he loses, it really doesn't matter, does it?

    Maybe Bernard will cheat death.

    A catchweight fight with J. Taylor would be good for Hopkins just to avenge those two losses but i don't see either side being attracted to this fight.

    If anyone is crafty enough to cheat death, it'll be BHop. Now that's a fight I wanna see.

    No, i think they were just bullsh*t stuff made up by the media. Or it was just Don King hoping that this fight happens so he can milk Tito for a another big pay day.

    Hmm, slight issue with the disparity in weight. :lol:

    I think we'll be dissappointed, because regardless of the outcome Bernard will claim he won.

    Yup, he'll have it written on his tombstone that he beat Death, but he got robbed. A rematch would be a ***** to pull off at that point.

    Yes it would, more than likely it'd be a 70/30 split.

    Calzaghe, AA, Froch or Dawson. Those are already too many names, just choose one!
