Hopkins wants Mayweather next May

Floyd likes names on his resume and he don't mind if they are bloated up to fight him, weight drained, or past it his history proves, so I see no reason why he wouldn't fight BH.

Hopkins-Mayweather will never happen. Mayweather would demand 147lbs anyways.

Didn't he barely make weight against Pascal 2?

I don't think the fight will happen. It's fun to think about though, having 2 defensive, tactical genius' in the ring fighting each other! :boxing: Yeah it's certainly intriguing and tbh I'd rather watch Floyd fight Hopkins then any other fighter out there bare pacquiao/martinez

The idea of De La Hoya-Pacquiao in 2008 at 147 was laughable. DLH hadn't fought at 147 since the Gatti fight, more than 7 1/2 years earlier, and Pacquiao had never fought above 135. This is boxing; it's possible. If Hopkins wins impressively vs. Murat ("impressively" will be a very relative term here, guys), SHO and GBP will push for it, guaranteed. Both fighters were younger, and De la Hoya was dropping down ONE weight class...and it hurt him. Bernard CANNOT make 160. I am 100% sure. He drops to 160, he will be a skeleton.

Floyd would do to a drained Hopkins what Pac did to De La Hoya.

would be such a low risk easy win for floyd zzzz

Are we though? Kessler made $3 million v Froch, Guerrero made $3 million v Mayweather. Hopkins v Froch would do more than Froch v Kessler imo, and I'd imagine Froch would fight at a 170 catchweight. I'm guessing Hopkins would have a much better chance of winning v Froch too. poopkins is scared.

Floyd can't hit 160 and neither can b-hop. This is just silly.

Hopkins is not doing this. He's just trying to get some attention! Hopkins, at 47 (48?), is going to move down 15 pounds from his weight class to middleweight, where he hasn't fought since 2005 against a young, undefeated Jermain Taylor? Get out of here! Good luck with that "alien" gimmick he's trying to pull off. He goes down to 160, I will give all my points away. If he goes 12 rounds, I'll drink a gallon of rancid milk. And if he beats Mayweather, I'll eat my feces. This fight is not happening. Not a slim chance in hell. He's just dropping Floyd's name to get some media buzz by people who don't know the intricacies of making weight and its importance in matches. If Hopkins, at his age, moves 15 pounds down from his weight class, then I guess a younger Sergio should go down to 147, Miguel should go back to 140, and Mosley drop to 140.

It really pains me to see a proud black man like Mr. Hopkins begging for a payday. :sad:

Hop is way to old, just doesn't seem right Next year he will be close to 50, he needs to hang it up

A LHW challenging a WW! Sad He didn't really challenge him. A reporter asked him a question and he answered it.

bhop will fight floyd like the way he fought antwon echos. floyd gets beatup and wins by disqualify.

A LHW challenging a WW! Sad

Old Man Hopkins needs to pick on someone his own size.

LOL at the whiny brits bringing up Froch.

It will not be an exciting fight for the neutrals, however for those who really love boxing, it should be amusing to watch. I think Floyd will win however he has never faced a guy like Bernard so.....
