Hopkins wants Abraham

Bernard Hopkins Targets Arthur Abraham Showdown - Boxing News

What do we think of this one?

I didn't see Abrahams last fight or two, but I think Hopkins would probably still be way to cunning and capable enough to handle him. It would have that intrigue because AA really does have one punch power and Hopkins' last fight was probably the worst night he's ever had, though. Would be cool to see Hopkins travel to fight him in Germany, just for the atmosphere.

I agree with @p4pking. If Hop has anything left and I no longer count him out, I think he embarrasses the turtle. I think it looks an awful lot like the Murat fight and Hop has been talking about retirement lately albeit doing that before and he wants to leave on a high note. Great fight for him to cap an extraordinary career. I'm assuming it will be at 168 for the trinket or it quickly becomes a dud of a finish at a silly catch.

Bhop only looked bad last fight because it was against the beast kovalev. Abraham has never been good and is even worse now that he is older. The way to beat bhop is to set a fast pace. Abraham hardly throws punches and bhop will easily win even considering his age. If kovalev couldn't stop him, no way Abraham can.

The fight has boring written all over it.

Dude, you're always bringing me down! I'm gonna start calling you 'Mr Gloom and Doom'.

Hopkins sees something about Abraham he thinks will give him the advantage. Hopkins is shrewd that way and other than Kovalev has a excellent track record.
