I don't think anyone believes that MAskaev would be a more meaningful fight though. By the time it happens, considering what it would mean either way, Joe C vs Hop is a much more meaningful fight... If HOpkins beat Maskaev, well, Maskaev sucks. IF he doesn't, he's 42 and put on 40+ pounds since he was 41 to make the fight.. Joe C vs Bhop could easily happen at 175 soon.. And either one would get major credit for winning as compared to the other fight imo.
