If this was prime 160 Hopkins, it's murder. But 2014 Hopkins going down to a weight class he hadn't seen in what 7 years? This is Cotto, easy money.
What's with you dudes thinking guys can drop in weight after abandoning the weight class for years and think they can be successful? History does not bode well for that.
Someone is trying to create a divide between Danny Garcia's, PR and Philly fans LOL
I can see what you are doing here :D

Lol, as other have said, it would be dangerous for Hopkins' health to go down in weight at this point. The man is defying reality by fighting as it is.
He needs to become the Executioner again.
cotto would straight up MURDER this dude in devastating manner. the timing and inside body attack that migs would bring in there would be detrimental to nards body, and like it even needs to be mentioned, if nard is soft anywhere it's the body, exactly. cotto ko 6, then sneakily draping nards shoulder with a pr flag in hand, and at that exact moment - in a perfect place in time all puerto ricans would know that the whole pr throwing incident in puerto rico had just come full circle. tito masturbates onto joe cortez's leg in the back and it just gets even hotter from there. ahy papi ...
pm me for the rest of story.
dropping 15 lbs to middleweight when he's damn near 50?
i don't think so.
if he could somehow make the weight he'd whoop cotto, but there's no way he get to 160 lbs. i doubt he could even do 165.
Even as a very old man Hopkins is still to good for Cotto and Hopkins would weight much more than Cotto on fight night and he would not carry any extra weight while Cotto would.
Oooops - my bad. Voted 'Nard cos I though the OP meant prime MW Hopkins c.2000-2005 who would annihilate Cotto
If Hopkins tried to drain to 160 (or even 159 LOL) now he might struggle - still wouldn't bet against him tho.
hopkins goes in on mayweather

It is a privilege to listen to Hopkins drop all that wisdom. Truly truly ATG no doubt.
If Bernard Hopkins tried to make middleweight now, he would be stopped. Fighters can not drop that much weight and stay strong. Hopkins in his prime would stop Cotto though.
