    According to EL NUEVO DIA Hopkins and GDP have declined a rematch with Trinidad offered by Don King.

    "I dont want to go trough the flag issue again" Hopkins said Monday

    "We always wanted that fight but we can not push hopkins to fight Tito"
    Papa trinidad said Monday

    I wish he just would retire.

    I dont see why Tito has to keep fighting, he is putting unesscary L's on his record, surely he doesnt need the money.

    Even though it makes no sense for Tito, I'm surprised B-hop would turn it down. At this point who are logical and/or marketable opponents for him?

    Beyond a rematch with Roy Jones Jr...what else?

    Bernard should retire, even though I don't see him getting hurt. Ever. This fight is mostly a waste of time. I wouldn't even watch it but some might like it. All the better if it makes money.

    Hopkins would win again. Even in the Calzaghe fight (which I just watched in its entirety) Hopkins shows his brilliance in the ring. I think Hopkins won that fight. I really can't see Trinidad playing a smarter game than Calzaghe.

    Since Tito refuses to lose weight and go to 160 id only like to see him in with the big names that he has some sort of chance agianst ala Jermain Taylor or Jeff Lacy who seems to have very little left after getting smacked in the head 1000 times in one fight.

    Hopkins would dominante Trinidad again in a pointless fight. I have a feeling he's going to sit back, wait for things to happen, explore his options, and try to secure a big money fight against a guy like Pavlik or Jones.

    My God, Tito is so pathetic these days. All he wants is that big pay day. The question is, who has he NOT talked to about a fight?

    Tito would never give Oscar a rematch.

    Hopkins would stop Tito again in a rematch. Still, it could make some money for both.
