Which fighter would be the best for Hopkins legacy?

[Toney Loc]

Asamek without a doubt. Froch is horrible, Kessler is in hiding somewhere in the Netherlands, and Dawson needs to stop running and avenge his loss to Blenn.

Nothing more needs to be said

[-EX-]

Dawson.

He has established himself as the best at 175 right now outside of Hopkins. A win over this hungry young champion would do a lot for Bernard's legacy at this point I think.

Agreed. 2 wins over Tarver. Win over Johnson, Adamek, Harding...

[Dan...]

Agreed. 2 wins over Tarver. Win over Johnson, Adamek, Harding...

Yep. He is the most accomplished guy at 175 right now. Include the fact that he is young and undefeated and Hopkins is in his mid-40s and a win in that fight for B-Hop is massive.

[Ekscape]

It still would be Calzaghe, but Calzaghe doesnt want anymore of B-Hop... But other then that i'd say Dawson but he'd have a easier fight with Froch

[Patheticfraud?]

Jones, They are both old and there are plenty of guys who think Jones can still beat him. Bragging rights...

I don't know about that so much.


Also, bragging rights and legacy are pretty different things.

[MANGLER]

Dawson. He's supposed to be the future of the LHW division, so if Bhop beats him, he proves Dawson can't be **** but #2 as long as he's still around.

[El Dominicano]

Adamek, Dawson and then Froch

[Vasyl’s dad]

Adamek was totally weight drained. He was killing himself to make 175. That's why he moved up 25 lbs to cruiserweight 200 lbs. Weight drained Adamek still managed to knock down, badly hurt and almost KO Dawson in the late rounds of that fight.

Adamek destroys Dawson at cruiserweight

I voted Adamek

As much as I like Chad, I agree with this fully.

Jones, They are both old and there are plenty of guys who think Jones can still beat him. Bragging rights...

I would bet everything I owned that Bernard violently dispatches Roy Jones jr at this stage of their careers. Bernard has evolved with his career,Jones still tries to fight the same style he used to,except he has NO footwork,less speed than he used to.
Jones could never evolve because he never stuck with the basics,he relied on speed,reflexes,and footwork to command his great career-all advantages that were nullified as he got older and came down from his heavyweight fight.
Bernard paces his stamina so it is no issue,he stuck to the basics and expanded on them.If there was such a thing as a "boxing IQ",he would be an Einstein,which is why he is still tops at 44 years old.
Hopkins win over Jones by ko/tko ...
