    I can't believe people are even entertaining the idea of this fight!

    I don't even think Haye would consider taking it, what would be beneifical in KO'ing at 45 year old man who fought most of his career at middleweight? It would prove nothing in my opinion.

    He wants to fight the best the heavyweight division has to offer to prove his worth.

      I disagree with Joe and ANYBODY who thinks Haye is not a winnable fight for B.Hop......its a VERY winnable fight that will require the "ULTIMATE" game plan.....B.Hop's chin has NEVER been suspect.....Haye's stamina and his technical bad habbits gives B.Hop a serious chance!!......don't EVER underestimate Bernard......the old head is as sly as they come!!

        Hopkins is about improving his legacy... If he loses by decision to David Haye... Still.... What a career. Nothing to lose.

        If he fights Chad Dawson and loses... so much more to lose.

            If Hopkins went THE WHOLE 12, that would be Good. But if he won, that would be GREAT.

                  De Ja Vu all over again.
                  well I picked hopkins to dominate pavlik before the fight cuz hes too smart and can easily take a flush shot from a hard hitting middleweight, hayes a different beast altogether though and has the p4p type of power that abraham has(who hits much harder than pavlik btw) but at heavyweight instead.

                  Haye will KO hopkins in the first round with the first punch he connects. MARK MY WORDS.

                    With respect, Haye has speed, footwork and power. There is no way that Hopkins can out move this Haye for 12. He has raw power and his size alone will mean Hopkins would not be able to hold if he is tired or hurt.

                    Hopkins does not like speed, and that is what Haye has. His size advantage is 2 inches in height and 3 inches in arm. He weight is abut 215 and when he hits he hurts. He is a better boxer than Taylor IMO.

                    Haye's flaw is maybe his chin and his stamina, but Hopkins isn't going to hit him a lot since he can be defensive and Haye can be quite agile.

                    I don't see Hopkins dealing with someone as fast, athletic, agile, defensive, offensive and most importantly strong and big as Haye.
