You make a valid point, and today more than ever most champions are guilty of hand picking opponents which is something I don't like. Unfortunately you have to take the good with the bad. I guess so long as promoters can at least make some interesting match-ups I can live with it, but this fight sucked, as do most of Hopkins fights in recent years. Credit to Hopkins for being able to tussle with the youngters as age 46 and beyond.
