Hopkins v GGG apparently

[beenKOed]

I have to say I really hope this fight doesn't happen! it doesn't matter that Hopkins is a great fighter and is a lot heavier, all this does is give GGG haters a massive reason to slate him even more. And to a degree, you can't blame them, after all , last time he fought he started to look like the 50 year old he is.
GGG has nothing to gain from this except marking time and making money. All I would say, is that if this fight happened, you have to give Hopkins massive respect for taking the fight , just like when he took the Kovalev fight.
Either that, or he's just plain fucking crazy!

Sir, you are talking like you think Hopkins is being forced into the fight. I do not believe Hopkins would take the fight if he didn't think he could win.

I'm not saying Hopkins is going to win. I'm saying GGG should be as well prepared as possible because Hopkins is a very serious dude and very smart about boxing.

I don't know why people are writing Hopkins off in this one.

Are we forgetting that he has a LONG history of making big punchers look bad?

Are we forgetting that he is a 175lber, and GGG is 160?

Sir, I am not saying that Hopkins is forced into the fight, nor am I saying that he necessarily gets hammered or even beat. My point was that it's a Lose-lose for GGG.
it's not a fight I would like to see , because it has a touch of the Circus show about it , with the age, weight and height differences.
And finally, although I'm not saying Hopkins is forced into the fight, if he genuinely is to fight again, Who would he fight that generates this kind of interest or money? At 50, he quite rightly would only fight if it was worth his while . The only other option would've been Froch, who wasn't interested and retired. Oddly enough, I think Hopkins would've beaten Froch, but we'll never know.

Hopkins is as dangerous as a back alley Tunisian knife fighter.

[Rantcatrat]

Good fight. What's the weight?

I'll save my comments on this until I see some kind of conformation.

[SlimTrae]

Wow.

[TitoFan]

If I were GGG I'd stay the hell away from this fight. It's a LOSE-LOSE all the way. What does he have to gain? Absolutely nothing. He wins... he beat a 50-year old fighter. He loses... he'll have ridicule piled on his head. It's not like he needs any more detractors than he already has. There's plenty of fights to be made out there. BHop should fight his one last fight and retire. I'm sure there's a nice TV commentator job lined up somewhere for him.

No one is slating Kovalev for fighting Hopkins and he was arguably the bigger man.
