By Gabriel Montoya: It’s been almost six years and nine fights since Bernard Hopkins had a contractual obligation to face a fighter not of his choosing. That fight was the rematch with Jermain Taylor who unseated him from his legendary middleweight perch in July of 2005. That time, it was Hopkins who was able to enforce a fight he wanted.
