Totally disagree with that statement. It carries little to no weight at all.

Hopkins D, has already carved his place out in his division. Whether he is ready for the elite had hitters is still debatable. I'd love to see him match against Lazcano or Rodriguez.

Demetrius has a great defense & as of late...he can brawl & punch...just like Big Hop in his early career.

He just needs to be moved along at a gentle pace.

Great fighter with lots of promise.

GREAT fighter ? That word gets thrown around waaay too much. He hasn't fought anyone of note to be even considered more than a prospect . In this day anad age that and a good connect( his Uncle) will get you contender status before you've earned it.

How is my statement baseless ? Would we even know who this kid is if BHOP wasn't related to him? Probably not.
I never said that it was a baseless statement...I just disagree with you. I think that the guy has some skills & shows a lot of heart & power.

Yes...people know who he is outside of the Hopkins namesake.

The Eduord fight solidified his name...that was all Gibbs...no Hopkins there.
