    What most people don't realise, is that Bernard's 50/50 demand was only for the cameras in their famous HBO argument.

    Behind closed doors, he demanded $10m or no fight.

    Mark Taffet of HBO has confirmed it.

    Judging by the number of messages posted in 24 hours you can tell it is interesting, but in a bad way.

    so, not to be outdone by the wwe, boxing needs to have its own version of goldberg versus the undertaker...

    and this will be no prettier (or less dangerous, for both geezers).

    You know what this would mean? Delaying both of their IBHOF entries that much longer. Whilst adding zero luster to either's legacy (even if there was a dominant KO1)

    But why. May as well throw Eubank-Benn whilst we’re at it.

    Should be criminal to mention canelo name in the same sentence as any of those legends.

    Agreed! It was a fight that you would have thought Hopkins didn't have to fight dirty to beat that version of Jones, but apparently he did as
    Jones was still faster than Hopkins.

    I really think Hopkins faked being badly hurt from a borderline low blow because he was fatigueing.
    It was one if the few times in his career where I rooted for Hopkins to win but came out of that fight feeling embarrassed for him instead.

    That this is even being discussed means at least one of them has money problems. We know RJJ has been broke pretty much all his life. Didn't know Hopkins was in trouble, too.

    So who sponsors the Geriatric Belt , WBC? WBA?

    In association with AARP card holders & Jitterbug phone, the old flip style with BIG ASS NUMBERS for the blurried vision senior citizens.

    Maybe, but you know what I mean. He is on a momentum run like Duran after Moore. Hearns after Duran. Hagler after Hearns-well sort of. I think Hagler after Hearns wanted to soak it in. I think Canelo knows Kovalev is on the decline and wants to stop him after wearing him out to the body. I hope Kovalev has more left than Canelo thinks.
