It wasn't that long ago that Bernard Hopkins was considering a move to heavyweight for a bout with then WBC champion Oleg Maskaev. The fight never took place. He still wants a shot at some heavyweight gold. If on December 2 Hopkins beats Enrique Ornelas�and Roy Jones Jr. beats IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green - Jones and Hopkins will clash on March 13 in Las Vegas [the tentative date for Manny Pacquiao's return].

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told the LA Times that Hopkins, should he beat Jones, will target a fight with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye.

"And Hopkins wants to move up to fight�David Haye if he wins [against Jones]," Schaefer said.

It's not the first time that Schaefer mentioned Hopkins' desire to fight Haye for a world title. Back in May, there was talk of Hopkins going up to cruiserweight to fight Tomasz Adamek and Haye was scheduled to face WBO/IBF champion Wladmir Klitschko in June. Neither fight happened. But at the time, Schaefer told BoxingScene.com that Hopkins' plan�was to beat Adamek and then move to up to heavyweight meet Haye [if he would have beaten Klitschko].

[QUOTE=SilverSamurai;6722522]Maybe Jermain Taylor as well.[/QUOTE] yep, problem with pavlik is when you add weight you become lazier(eventually your body adapts), adding the weight also slowed him down, now top that off with the fact he's about as one dimensional as they come not that taylor was...

[QUOTE=tehMatrix;6722509]i'd say pavlik was probabley stronger actually, but he's so one dimensional he could'nt take advantage[/QUOTE] Maybe Jermain Taylor as well.

[QUOTE=tehMatrix;6722479]how would hopkins bully and grapple someone much bigger, heavier, stronger and faster than him? hopkins style does not work against people stronger[/QUOTE] Has Hopkins ever fought someone stronger than himself?
