Hopkins setting his sights on the HW crown ?!

[TheBranMan]

Now, while I have serious doubts about the soon-to-be 45 year old Hopkins' chances of beating Haye (purely based on his physical attributes, his skill-set is twice that of Haye's), I'd still pay to see it. If he managed to pull a win against the obviously much bigger, loud-mouthed Haye, it would be the perfect end to an amazing career full of hardship. I say bring it on. The man has fought for everything in his career. Give him a shot at becoming a true legend. Lets see it.

Ain't gonna happen, Haye would just lean on him and and spark him out. Hopkins is another example of a man from a previous era hanging around on his name. Who really have either him or RJJ beaten in recent times that was actually a real worthy opponent.

Iit would take him a year to put on enough quality weight , other than that he can eat pizza fr a few months and be unfit and get tagged even sooner.

Given hayes activity rate though Hopkins would probaly have enough time , would be an interesting ring entrance though, don't know if anyone has come in on a mobility scooter before

The most interesting fight for Bernard Hopkins right now is JAMES TONEY

Not to mention, at 43 years of age, he gave (a still very live) Joe Calzaghe (a guy that calls himself a "living legend") all that he could handle, getting a narrow and debatable split decision loss.

exactly, most actually had Hopkins winning the fight

in his last 10 fights he's 7-3 against, Allen, DLH, Eastman, Taylor (2x), Tarver, Wright, Calzaghe, Pavlik, and now Ornelas (he's shit we all know this)

most felt he got a draw in the first Taylor fight, and won it clearly the 2nd, he beat Tarver when he was #1 at Light Heavy, followed up with Wright who was also on a bit of a roll, then dropped a very close split decision to Calzaghe (i had it 115-113 win for B-Hop), then went on to upset Pavlik and dominate his ass, then after a 13 month layoff he came back and won clearly and dominantly against a guy he was supposed to beat

i mean i dunno if he can actually make the jump to HW and actually win a title, but he has given no signs to think he's even remotely close to being shot or taking a back step, he looked sharp last time out and that was with ring rust, if anyone could pull that kind of upset at the age of 45 it's Hopkins

Hopkins - Haye is a very dangerous fight for Hopkins.

If Hopkins were to win though which he could do possibly.................. wow.

[El Kabong]

Why no fight with James Toney?!?! It makes PERFECT sense....B-Hop can't avenge his loss to RJJ BUT B-Hop can beat another rival whom he never fought before but they should have.

Who wouldn't be interested in Hopkins-Toney? I mean sure it's late in their careers but it would give us an idea of what a Prime Hopkins vs Prime Toney would have looked like and THAT I am interested in
