    If Hopkins WERE to beat Haye, it would look better then Jones win over Ruiz FOR SURE

        If Hopkins looks good vs Ornelas, he could beat Haye. The only thing that would stop Hopkins is his age, and we'll be able to tell if he's ancient vs Ornelas. Going to heavyweight would make BHop a little younger I'd bet, getting to eat whatever you want and weigh in wherever feels good. Can Haye outbox even an old Hopkins? Doubtful to me. Can he go brawler and KO Hops? Doubtful again, since Hop usually can prevent brawlers from doing what they want to do. Can Haye KO Nard with one shot? Maybe but I'd say the chance is fairly low, and Haye, again, if Hops is still fresh enough, will not be able to land any decent COMBOS on Hopkins (is my bet).

        If Green loses to Roy though, Roy will have a chance of preventing Hops from ever getting to Haye.

            Even though I think Dave would be too much for Hopkins, one thing that must be pointed out here is size. I don't think Haye is a hell of a lot taller than Hopkins, perhaps just a shade. He's listed as 6'3'' but I believe he may be around 6'1½ or **** on 6'2''.

            It makes no difference though, as Haye is too powerful and too fast for a heavyweight. Hopkins is too old now and hasn't been fighting big men to become adjusted to that sort of power. Hopkins could very well avoid most of Haye's bombs, but sooner or later Haye would hurt him.

                  and this really should'nt be taken to heart, hopkins always says he'll fight these big guys, not often he actually does
                  first it was adamek at cruiserweight, now he says he wants david haye at heavyweight?
                  what is he smokin?
                  nothin, he's just fooling people

                  later on after he's retired you'll see his nuthuggers defending him by postin stuff like ''he actually wanted to fight adamek and david haye blah blah''

                  lol, i believe that

                      if haye fought everyone who called him out and beat half of them, he could be top 5 p4p.
