You heard it here first :dunce: call me mad, call me silly, call me a noob, moron whatever. Hopkins will beat Haye :boxing:
I have never been a great lover of Hopkins for his racial overtones but I respect the man's talent & I think he'll beat Haye. Call me crazy but he will.
That is ofc if Haye ever grows a pair and agrees to fight him which is doubtful; he'll probably say Bernard is old and it wouldn't be fair blah blah blah.
Hopkins know if he wins he beat the man who beat Ruiz so this win will overshadow Jones's win @ HW. Ofc we all know age is a factor and Ruiz wasn't the same Ruiz who fought Jones but history just remembers names only sadly.
Of course all this is dependant on Haye. Remember Audley is out of the picture and we both know queefer Haye won't fight the Klits. Adamek is too risky, Valuev is valuev :so who can Haye fight?
I don't think Haye will take the fight but if he does: Hopkins wins (and Hopkins is pushing HARD right now for this fight...).
Well , you ain't a noob , but u r mad and stupid.
It is Hopkins whom will never grow that pair of balls / lose enough of his brain cells to fight Haye.
Haye would have brutally KOd him. Haye is no Ruiz , he has more speed and power than Ruiz ever had. The prime Roy Jones , as prime as you want would have also been brutally KOd by Haye.
I doubt a prime RJJ would lose to Haye just like I doubt a prime Ruiz would lose to him. Ruiz beat better fighters than Haye in his prime.
Ha No way Haye would KTFO of Bhop, i like Hopkins but if he couldnt wipe out RJJ a few months ago theres no way he could beat Haye who looks to be in his prime
The only way he gets a W over Haye is if he fakes being knocked out by a rabbit punch. I am no Haye fan, but come one people, Hopkins would be old, slow, have no power, little of his reflexes, against one of the hardest hitting and fastest heavyweights there is.
Get of Hopkins's nuts if you think he even stands a chance.
I don't see this fight happening but if happens Haye would sparkle him, B-Hop's too old now and at heavy he will have zero power and his stamina will be worst that ever, he must retire.
Gaye would fight the 45-year old ex-felon, that's the only fighters Gaye will fight - "no one younger than 36" is his motto. I think Gaye fights either Hopkins or Audley next. Way to go "champ"...you represent that fake piece of plastic around your waist well.
He should face these two instead:
Wladimir Klitschko - RING, WBO, IBF, IBO, WBA CHAMPION
Vitaly Klitschko - WBC CHAMPION
He has no balls, so he will never see him in the ring against a Klitschko.
Hopkins has seen something that he thinks he can expliot like when he called for Pavlik, i Knew he had Kellys number after he made that fight. Haye tho will Crush him Badly Nard is older now and Hayemaker hits like a truck! I cant see how he wins no way no how
Na Hopkins can win against same olds or technical limited fighters, but haye has the full programm apart from a chin and workrate. Hopkins has no power at heavy and not a high work rate either, no chance for Bhop.
I see haye getting a point deducted for hitting behind the head or low but even if hopkins headbuts him, he can fight on with a cut.
Bottom line is Hopkins must of seen something in Haye he can exploit.
I think he can do it.
Hopkins is a smart man, he has seen something.
That said though he has nothing to loose so this really is a win / win situation for him.
I hope you're right, but I don't see it. As much as Haye sucks, he still has a huge edge in power and Hopkins didn't exactly look very young against RJJ.
Yeah I know but if Ruiz could walk into Haye's inside so can B Hop. Plus Hopkins won't be 'pulled in' like so many others and caught chasing Haye. He'll be on the back foot & can Haye really fight technically coming forwards? If he tries throwing Hayemakers coming in Hopkins will see them and slip / grab + maul.
As I say though he has nothing to loose :boxing: *Bookmark this thread guys! :D *
