I agree. Beating Maskaev would mean what? Maskaev is a worse champion that John Ruiz, who Roy Jones beat.
It would mean Hopkins would be a three weight world champion, would be the only the second man ever to hold the middleweight, light heavywieght and heavyweight titles, it would elevate his legacy above that of Hagler, Leonard, Roy Jones and maybe even Ray Robinson and he would retire a legend.

I think he would also be the second oldest heavyweight champ of all time behind Foreman, not sure how old Woolcott was.

Oh and he would proabably make about $20,000,000 dollars.

If I was Hopkins, I take this fight
