Hopkins Vs Haye

[eagle]

Hopkins needs to hang em up , and if the fight went ahead would probably get pummeled. I can think of heaps of other fights i'd rather see Haye in...

Haye v Adamek
Haye v Wlad
Haye v Vitali
Haye v Chambers
Haye v Povetkin
Haye v Arreola
Haye v Solis.
just to name a few.

hopkins is an old ass man, but just to be fair he seems to trancend time and space. fact of the matter is he does not look his age and there are times when he looks like a 20 year old in there. "he would probably get pumbled" is what I said before he fought Kelly Pavlik in a fight where he did not only beat the hard hitter that was young enough to be his son, he destroyed him. After that I decided that the prediction that "he would probably get pumbled" is a prediction that I would never make against the man again. Untill age proves to have cought up with him, Hopkins is a valid challenge against any top dog in the sport today as far as am concerned.

Size is the thing tho. Against Pavlik BHOP was the bigger man, but aagainst Haye he'd be giving away 20-30 pounds.

Depends on what the script writers tell them to do. Nothing with Hopkins in it will ever be real, Haye might get $2Mil to let Hopkins "Last" 2 rounds then hit him with a chair or something to end the "Fight". He's fucking 45 years old you fucking retards...........

I would prefer for Hopkins to retire.

Hopkins didn't look right last night.

I would be seriously worried for Hopkins if a Haye fight went down.

I can't believe people are even discussing this fight, Hopkins is an old man who had his best days at MW, Haye is a genuine HW who spent too long draining himself to make CW but I know he wanted to emulate Evander by unifying both divisions so fair play to him on that. But Haye is close to prime now and I think next time out providing he gets a good training camp in (he hasn't sparred for 4 weeks due to a cut in training this time around), he will look awesome, last night he was good but made defensive mistakes and was caught with jabs that showed a lack of sparring.

Back to the point though, Haye would crush Hopkins, too big, too strong, too fast and far too heavy handed. Hopkins has only just filled out to a genuine 175lbs fighter and to imagine him any heavier than 185lbs is beyond me. I don't think he is big enough for CW let alone HW.
