Experts divided on Green-Hopkins

In Australia we are really excited about a Danny Green-Bernard Hopkins showdown following Green's 122 second KO of Roy Jones Jr.
Green faces Manny Siaca next week and hopes to get Hopkins after that.
Here's what some of the Aussie experts had to say about Green v Hopkins.

I'd like to see the fight, I think Green would have a real chance of beating Hopkins at this stage in his career.

I imagine Hopkins would spend most of the fight rolling around on the floor feigning injury though.

I'm picturing Hopkins working that into a combo actually a diving headbutt, left hand to the back of the head, into a faked injury.

I don't think B-Hop will get back in the ring after that. The fans have spoken he's not an attraction anymore, when the money isn't there time to hang them up.

For sure HBO are unlikely to be interested in him but if he fought Green in Australia that fight would be huge over there. It says a lot about Hopkins 'appeal' however that Green would have the bartering leverage to take him down under.

I'd love to see him fight Haye though, that to me would be an amazing spectacle, could the great B Hop avoid being knocked out? I don't know, would be a fun watch for sure. The only thing that bothers me is that I think it would end with Hopkins being unable to continue after a low blow in the middle rounds.
