From the never "lose to a White boy" to the disrespect he kept showing towards Kessler when asked about him. Hop giving Calzaghe zero credit for having a win over a fighter with a "European style" like Kessler. He thinks Tito and DLH are more legitimate wins than Kessler, then he should now prove it in the ring. Since Kesslers "White and one dimensional" he should have an easy victory.
DLH and Tito were not "legitimate" middleweights for the record and both Calzaghe and Kessler would also beat either fighter. How bout it!?
Hopkins by decision, but he'll be what like 44? I am not to sure....
Kessler doesn't throw as much as Calzaghe and doesn't throw as many combos which would throw Bhop off his gameplan. Kessler isn't that fast either. Kessler I don't think would be able to handle Bernard's rough house tactics either.
Bhop by UD.
Hopkins need to retire. He has nothing left in the tank. How anyone could want to see Hopkins fight again is beyond me. When you start to emulate and perfect John Ruiz's pump and hump style(right hand/clinch) It's time to call it a night.
Kessler would have an easier time than Calzaghe. The wide southpaw style plays right into Hopkins' hands. There's a reason why he's been fighting southpaws since the Taylor fight imo.
I say Kessler knocks him out b/c B-Hop likes the inside and I think Kessler hits him with damaging uppercuts and wins by an early stoppage or knockout!!!!
Hopkins could disrupt Kessler's rhythm by doing his normal clinching tactics. Kessler needs the jab to set up his offense, Hopkins is a master at shutting down an opponent's best punch, by clinching and doing what he does, I think Hopkins can win a rough, dirty, foul filled fight.
I don't think it'll happen though, Kessler doesn't bring enough money to the table to interest Hopkins.
i would not mind it. don't be so sure to say kessler. bhop could easily give kessler huge fits. he is a str8 up stand up fighter. bhop would make kessler look worse than joe!
This fight has to be made! this is the one fight i cant see Hopkins passing up, Kessler is gonna want revenge for the talk Hopkins was doing, it makes perfect sense.

I think Hopkins should retire. But for the sake of argument I dont think Hopkins wants any part of Kessler.
