Haye - Hopkins

[Master]

I think a fully focussed Hopkins could beat Haye

i agree big h. there aint much height and reach difference between them. im one of hayes biggest fans, but u cant put a price on experience, which hopkins has in abundance

Hopkins is no where busy enough nowadays and at heavy that is a bridge too far.

I am a big admirer of his but Hopkins stood a better chance against Maskaev but genetics say he is not a heavyweight and would lose against any decent heavy, and even Lyle would admit Haye is a decent heavy.

I think Hopkins is to clever prime for prime for Haye who still makes alot of mistakes, but the guy is 45 years old and will be facing a big quick puncher id be worried for him now but I would have my money on him firmly to beat Haye as late as 3 years ago.

i agree mate. yeah hopkins is getting old, but ive rit him off so many times before and he just keeps ramming that shit straight back down my throat. hopkins is a genius at work. hes the best at breaking down a fighter bit by bit, and then implementing his gameplan on his opponent. logic says haye is a fight too far, i just think hopkins experience could beat haye. im not saying for sure i think that will happen, but the guy is a mutherfukkin genius

As per my promise I have no comment on the subject at this time

Bernard Hopkins could give SOME heavyweights some trouble because he boxes well and he has experience and old fighters can be very tricky. I'd fancy Hopkins' chances vs Arreola just because Cris likes to slug when he has the ABILITY to be a good boxer and Cris is never in shape.

Hopkins is EASILY busy enough for David Haye. He lost a close, even controversial decision to one of the busiest fighters in boxing in Joe Calzaghe, David Haye has throughout his career been accused of not fighting hard enough and lazing through rounds.

Haye is not a busy fighter. He has no jab. He just comes in with power shots. He also doesn't impose his size and has no real authority in the ring for someone so supposedly hard hitting. He would stand on the outside and box with Hopkins and Hopkins provided be could cope with the power, which I think he could would still even now be able to outbox him imo.

I wouldn't be suprised if he stopped Haye in the late rounds.
