Juan Manuel Marquez will return on May 1. It's out of Juan Diaz or Katsidis to be his opponent.

Goldenboy have had more talks with Green about a Hopkins fight. For Hopkins next fight they have also been talking to the camps of Bute and yep...Roy. It's a three horse race and their is no clear favorite apparently.

Sakio v Allen Green all but finalized for Feb 5 on Showtime.

Good news thanks

i hope JMM chooses Katsidis, itll be one hell of a fight, not to mention the good exposure,
but then again Marquez v Diaz II itll be an explosion

Finally a good fight for Bika! Green can bang so it could be a cracker.

My source tells me that no contracts have been signed yet for Bika V Green. Far from being finalized.

The Green - Sakio bout is a qualifier for Green for the Super Six (ordered by Showtime), as Jermaine Taylor was dropped by Lou Dibella because he was concerned by his health condition if he fought on....so he will be droped by the Super Six tournament. So question is if Sakio beats Green will he be on his way into a super six comp, as Lucian Bute is being offered a contract by HBO

What would the point be of Hopkins fighting Jones?

Roy is finished.

Money.

D.Green can put up as much money as any of the others to entice Hopkins. Hopkins would be well aware that Greeny is the most dangerous fight out of all of those. If Bhop is true to his word and is only chasing the money I think Greeny is still in a good position.
I hope the fight comes off for Bika. He has done nothing to excite the boxing world since the contendor. I big win would throw him straight back to the upper echelon of the sup midd division. Good luck Sakio...
Katisidis made mention a while back about getting Marquez to Australia. Now that is a fight I pay to see !!

even 2 out of that three would be awesome

You still think people will pay to see Hopkins fight a bloke who got stopped in two minutes?

I must say this every Bika thread, but just fight someone for fucksake Bika.
