    I'm not saying he's going to win but I am saying he's willing to do it. Why wouldn't he? People said he was crazy for going up two weight classes to fight Tarver at age 40, they said he'd get KO'd. He didn't. People said he was going to get his head knocked off by an undefeated champion in pavlik at age 43, after he lost to calzaghe. He didn't.

    Hopkins has proved time and time again he's willing to take risks. Don't be so certain hopkins wouldn't fight Haye at heavyweight. Again, Golden Boy fighters. You think David Haye is going to tell oscar de la hoya to go to hell? lol sure pal.

    First of all Haye has a mandatory in Ruiz
    And haye should win that fight.

    secondly there's much better fights out there for Haye
    What fights?
    The klitschko's are not an option.
    Who does that leave? Uh, hmm I'm trying to think of a single name at heavyweight that would be worth it for david haye. Maybe Arreola. That's about it.

    It's not as crazy as you might think.

      He wants nothing of Dawson yet wants a man who was blown out in 1 rd against a bum LOL
      jones always defends like that, he would have recovered between rds. The fight will still sell......that is why Hopkins said as long as he did not get ko'd like he did against Tarver, "there is a big difference between a tko and a ko "

        I did think it was an early stoppage but maybe Hopkins meant more than that. When RJ lost I immediatly felt like he shouldnt have went over Europe because maybe that sapped his energy some. Then funny things happened when you leave the Country. Ask Lewis & Tyson. On top of that it just seems like an Omen for a guy to lose it all in a strange land. Maybe he just meant it more in a general sense that RJ shouldnt have went to Europe because it seems like something bad was destined to happened
        thanks

          First of all Haye has a mandatory in Ruiz, secondly there's much better fights out there for Haye he gets no recognition for K.Oing B-hop (which he will if that joke of a "dream" fight ever came into reality).
          I think Hopkins beats Haye actually.

                      lmao, Haye would KO Hopkins EASILY. Hopkins fans will say Hopkins has never been KOed, but Hopkins has never faced a puncher like Haye.
