Polish website reports Hopkins vs. Adamek is in discussions

[Guest]

Hopkins should not get more money. He's boring as hell, no one pays to see him. Its the other guy he's facing who ppl come to see. Plus its not his belts on the line. It should be a 50/50 split if not a slight edge for adamek since it will be his fans selling out the arena.

I guarantee if it was Chi-town 90% would be Adamek fans.

His last two fights here, I thought I was in freaking Warsaw.

If this is true then Hopkins is making a mistake, this is a fight that he really doesn't need. This man is too young and strong for him at this point. In order for him to have the chance, he would have to make the fight very very boring and try to peck and poke his way to a controversial decision but with Adamek keep stepping too him and making him fight, that's going to be hard to do.

Bet with me please. Screw Natas

I'll be willing to put a good chunk of my points on Hopkins. He's the much better boxer.

I'll put 100 K (100,000 on Adamek)...

But it's only in early discussions, so I'll wait awhile to sig it.

Would be another good fight after what Dawson did to Adamek weight drained or not you def couldn’t right Bhop off, I don’t think Bhop would bulk up to near 200lb he would more than likely come in around 180-190lb to keep his speed, I think its a 50/50 fight.

This is pointless for Hopkins, and Hopkins should not do this. He is 44, and moving up a weight division against the currently best CW.

IMO, I feel Adamek is going to retire Hopkins if this pointless bout goes ahead

B-Hop, who started as a light heavyweight, has always had opponents moving up from smaller weight divisions. This will be the first time he'll fight someone from a bigger division. They're the same size, but Adamek is now used to fighting at 200 and packs a hard punch at this weight.

But B-Hop is a smart defensive fighter who used every trick in the book.

[Jim Jeffries]

Adamek is a tiny CW that barely fights at 200 fight night, while Hopkins has come in at 190, so the weight difference won't be huge. Bernard never gets hit cleanly against faster fighters than Adamek, so he'll probably be able to survive the 12 rounds. Win/win for Hopkins, if he wins, his stock goes through the roof, if he loses, hell he was 44 jumping up 25 lbs in weight. Strange that he wants 1.5 mil in this fight, but turned down 4 mil to fight Kessler, another chance to add a belt in a third division.

[Mr. Philadel]

Hopkins says in the interview it would be at cruiserweight, not a catchweight.

He wants to be the linear (Ring) champion in another weight division.

exactly......at age 44, that would make him the OLDEST ever to wear that division's crown.....another history makin' fight

I think Hopkins should get a good percentage of the purse. No more then 60-40, but at least 55-45. Adamek brings a good amount of money though and is the champ, so he deserves at least 40%.

I like this fight though. While I'd rather Hopkins fight Dawson, Dawson is to busy with rematches for Tarver, hopefully Johnson, and then will have to fight his mandatory.

Hopes this fight happens in May. Around the 16th or the 23rd.

no adamek is the champ and hopkins is moving up..keep it real hopkins doesnt get the bigger share
