Hopkins To Return in January? Against Froch or Adamek?

[warp1432]

Actually Hopkins only made 19 defenses. The NC gets counted to make him look better.



6 lbs from the Taylor rematch, a one time weight which he looked garbage in. 10 lbs from his natural weight.

Thanks for the redk sweetie.

Pavlik didn't look like garbage in the rematch with Taylor. He didn't look great because Taylor added more movement to his gameplan. I have no idea why people think it was the weight. The weight had nothing to do with those fights at all imo.

Also, it'll be against Adamek if he fights again. Froch ain't getting past Bute.

According to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, 44-year-old Bernard Hopkins might return in January for one final “birthday fight.” Hopkins told Schaefer that he was interested in one final fight in January, when the fighter turns 45. Hopkins has been inactive since last October’s win over Kelly Pavlik. [details]

Even at 45 years old...he will UD both.

Well when three of those are against Robert Allen and guys like William Bo James, uh, sure.

and you are a calzaghe fan?

how come 16 out of 20 of hopkins defenses were against top ten guys.

how come only 8 out of calzaghes 21 were against top ten guys. and manfredo was in the top ten lol! shows you how great super middle is.

you lose.

As long as Hopkins doesn't go on a 3 fight lose streak. I can't stand when great fighters keep losing after they should have quit, Hopkins is still very good though.

Is this the 10mill that Calzaghe was talking about?

I'm all for it, but it should be froch (ez win for ex). I don't think he wants to fight adamek at his age. Dude is too strong to the body and too rugged.

I think froch loses to bute if they fight though.

Bhop will know if he's not in shape to fight.

Adamek did not ***** out of the Hopkins fight. Think about it, does it make sense, look at all the fools on here who say joe cal beat an old Hopkins.

I wanna see bhop vs roy jones jr

Bhop vs roy jones jr.

Hopefully he fights Froch at 175 and then retires. I actually think Froch would be an easy win for him rather than going up in weight for the Adamek fight. I'd bet Hopkins would win 10 rounds against Froch in a similar way to the Pavlik fight.

if it's Froch, why not @ Super Middle, since Hopkins likes fighting at 170 (be it vs Winky, Pavlik)

why not dip 2 pounds lower and fight Froch for his WBC belt?

this is assuming that Froch doesn't fight Bute instead.

**but if Froch and Hopkins were to fight, why not at 168?

this one i actually believe. theres been alot of possible this possible that but there has been that hbo problem for 2009. good stuff, i got hopkins to beat both of them in another old man upset.

[MANGLER]

Either fight is cool by me cuz I wanna see Bhop finish as a titleholder. I'd prefer Adamek tho.
