    At this point when Hopkins calls somebody out and it comes to fruition, I'd be shocked if he didn't win. So the consensus is that Hopkins could outbox him but he'd have to worry about getting clipped and KO'ed by the more powerful puncher? That makes it hard not to pick him for my money. Having said that of course Adamek is naturally the biggest guy Hopkins would have ever fought, but a size is hardly what you want going for you against Bernard. Thing that worries me is whether Hopkins can really put on more weight properly at 44, it's got to end somewhere. This isn't like fighting Pavlik who really wasn't any bigger than Hopkins naturally, although it could be in the sense that Adamek isn't quick or mobile enough to find him. GREAT fight if it's made imo.

    I think Hopkins defensive skills would see him through to a UD, & I could see him doing the same to a few of the Heavyweights. Personally whilst I think Adamek is good, the fact that he was more or less even with Banks (who I think is very limited) last night for the first 6 rounds tells me that he's not an ELITE fighter, rather a really good one.

    Adamek is a straight ahead plodder like Pavlik, I think Hopkins schools him easily. Would be very interested in the fight, though. IF Hopkins really wants the fight, it's pretty much a slam dunk he gets it as he would represent far and away the biggest payday available for Adamek.

    If Hopkins fights Adamek and wins an easy UD as I think he will, I really hope he steps up to heavyweight to challenge for a title. People always tend to favor the bigger guys, but the current crop of heavys are so slow I see Hopkins beating most of them with superior quickness and defense a la Jones schooling Ruiz. The Klits are too good with the jab for him to try, but if Chagaev beats Valuev, I think Hopkins could beat him by a fairly wide margin.

    I think he has a chance to win but i also think he stinks the joint out, i dont realy want to see the fight, id actully like to see Adamek try his hand with the big boys, i mean theres nothing really at 200 lbs so why not follow Haye up to heavyweight?

    If Hopkins and Adamek was to happen i would be very confident in Hopkins winning.

    Adamek is too limited.

    Only thing that could affect Hopkins is the big move up in weight.

    Hopkins has always had some of the slickest foot work around and "old" or not the man will go 12 rounds if he lets you get that far.
    Hopkins for the win... hands down.

    I can't even fathom the greatness he would achieve with a win.

    Its the modern equivalent of Bob Fitzsimmons.

    I think he beats Adamek if he can retain his footwork. I mean Chad Dawson how no problems whatsoever beating Adamek. Besides the knockdown with was more his feet being out of position, Chad didn't lose a round, and had Adamek completely at a loss.

    I think Adamek is a really good fighter, but he isn't as good as Kelly Pavlik, nor does he have that same power, and he is tailor made like Pavlik for Hopkins.

    No offense but I dont know how many "perfect endings: Hopkins has left.

    He is someone that has earned his retirement about 10 times already.

    He beats Tarver and then returesm then we think its over and its the perfect ending for him.

    He comes back, he faces Wright and Calzaghe and we think Hopkins is too past it and should have retired after the Tarver win despite his ability to still go.

    Then he beats Pavlik the current middleweight champion and beats him badly permenantly stamping him as The BEST Middleweight whenever he choses regardless of who the current champ is.

    Hopkins could go up and win the Cruiserweight title. But he really shouldnt. I Just wish Hopkins would retire.

    I don't want him to end up losing one day to someone who doesnt even belong on his record

    Nobody he's been fighting for the last few years "doesn't belong on his record", Adamek's pretty much the recognized man at cruiser, it would be another big victory for Hopkins.

    This strikes me as an odd choice for Hopkins, I mean from what I understand is that he has to contantly eat just to get up to 175, even if he does come in at 176 as Adam pointed out as the minimum requirement, that's a huge weight advantage for Tomasz. Stylewise if B-Hop is on form this should actually be an easy fight for Hopkins, nothing against Tomasz, just an issue of styles. I would have thought Hopkins would go for BCD.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
