Yeah, hell even if he had fought Emanuel Augustus it would have been better.. I think Dhop needs to take it slow, he had a bit of a tough time with Warrick a couple fights ago, I didn't see his latest fight but regardless he should be climbing the ranks legitimately.. I think people assume things about him because his last name is Hopkins, not just talking about him for it... Who knows how well he really uses the ring or how effectively/smart he can box against a real contender.... Ive only seen I think 3 of his fights, Ramos, Warrick, and an earlier one... Well they were all somewhat dull fights honestly, and I can't say anything overly impressed me about him.. The only thing that can be said is indeed that he is patient and doesn't take risks, but that could also lead to him having no answer for a high volume fighter who can attack effectively. He doesn't seem to like leading the action or setting a decent pace.. Hatton for sure would be too much for him imo.
