Just dont see an immediate threat nearly as imposing as father time and the dreaded 'getting old overnight'.Size,volume and endurance may combine to make that happen,Kess,Adamek?But until the fat lady has taken the stage and tunes up her voice, I cannot help but see Hopkins exploit their lapses and take them into deep waters for win.

Thought for sure that a clash with Dawson was near,lean even more so to Hopkins now.Dawson seems to have taken a big step sideways rather than forward as far as career momentum.Said 40 yr old Tarver took him out of his game in rematch...can only imagine what Hopkins could achieve against him!
