    Taken from an article from "another" site.....Go Danny, it will be an exciting fight if it happens. Doesnt matter what the critics say about him Green comes to fight ...as follows:

    Schaefer has no delusions of grandeur; he realizes that we are coming up to the year 2010, not 2002.

    "Jones and Trinidad, I don’t think are realistic. Adamek, HBO has no interest in that fight. So that eliminates that," he explained. "Then you have Paul Williams. [Williams’ promoter] Dan Goossen called out Bernard. But the issue there [is] the weight. Bernard is not going to be able to go lower than 175 pounds; maybe give or take a couple pounds. So that eliminates Paul Williams. Chad Dawson is living in a dream world and I think he should keep on dreaming about the potential Hopkins fight. I wish him sweet dreams. So that one is eliminated as well.

    Schaefer adds, "So then we basically have two guys; we have Bute and Green. And these are the two names we’re focusing on in the last two days. As a matter of fact, yesterday (Tuesday), I met with Danny Green in my office with his advisor, Gary Shaw, and we have been going through the numbers for a Hopkins fight happening in Australia and there is some interest from the networks for that fight, as well. Then we have been looking at a Bute fight. So I had conversations with Bute’s promoter, Interbox, and we have been going through those numbers, as well. There is interest from the networks for that fight."

    To maximize his earning potential, Hopkins will most likely have to fight outside the United States.

    HBO just doesn't seem to ever show cruiserweight fights. I'm not sure why they're not interested in Adamek. He's had some good fights on that network and fits the action profile of guys they usually like.

    I'm good with Green or Bute, though. Hopkins has earned the right to fight for a check and those are both good tough fights. Bute is obviously more meaningful, particularly if he went down to 168, but I like either of them for B-Hop.

    I'm happy for BHOP to come to Australia.

    He'd be the greatest fighter since roy jones to hit out shores. ;)

    If it's true that HBO doesn't want Hopkins/Adamek, they are hurting the sport.

    How about Green and then Toney?

    Green talked dollars and it's obvious that Hopkins liked that.
