    I don't see any problem with that statement . . . because it's true.

    Bhops maybe a 43 year old out of his prime fighter and boring by now, but it's a fact that he is already a legend and has already gained world wide recognition while JC despite having been a belt holder for so long is still struglling at the moment to get there.

    Common now peeps . . . use your brain. :yep

    JC doesn't have to fight Bhops . . . all he needs to do is fight all the other young big names available . . . out of his hometown and he'll be recognized.

    :D

    Your answer REQUIRES qualification.

    Being p4p elite is only part of the story. Manny Pacquiao and Rafael Marquez
    are 'elite p4p fighters' right now, but not at 160, 168 nor 175.

    That distinction alone does not qualify an opponent as a good win.

    Re: Winky

    He's DEFINITELY NOT elite at 170. He has ZERO victories North of 160.

    Re: Tito

    He was DEFINITELY NOT elite at 160. He had ONE decent win at 160, ever.

    So yes, he qualified his answer. It NEEDED qualification.

    Who else is Hops gonna fight . . .Robert Allen for the fourth time?!?!?
    Cal brings a paying audience. Hops shares the same 33 fans with FMJ.

    cool i disagree but to each his own. clinton woods seems like a real stretch but i'm sure arguments could be made for all the others. as pavlik and taylor are fighting each other and calzaghe just beat kessler, it looks as if the candidates should be dawson or hopkins. having seen some clips of dawson/adamek, the guy looks real good but it's not like he's a young Tyson or some phenom, he looks like a legit title holder/challenger. so does bernard, so why not fight bernard as obviously dawson will be there for whatever time calzaghe's got left

    Actually, the both of us have stated logical reasons why we think Hopkins will win. I have yet to hear anything from you guys other than Hopkins is shot and will get outworked. Even tho he just beat a top p4p fighter who throws 1000+ regularly, yet was outworked by Bernard in that fight.

    Again, there will be alot of crow to eat after Hopkins wins. Plain and simple.

    Thrash talking is used as a cover for fear, inadequacies or shortcomings and impotency!
