    Where will BHOP rank ALL TIME If...

    He beats Roy Jones Jr. in what I expect to be a sadly one sided contest, unfortunately because I've always loved RJJ. Then moves up and outboxes David Haye to win a heavyweight title, and sometime either before or after that stomps DANNY GREEN, in my opinion the worst boxer currently in the spotlight in any division.

    at the last line

    A Roy win does really nothing for Bernard...a Haye win would be big especially if Haye goes on to do good things at HW...a Green win is decent but Green isn't regarded as a very good fighter...

    Depends on where u have Bernard now all-time...I think some would put him in the 40's...he mite creep into the late 30's all-time if he did all that...

      I gotta disagree.

      Even though RJJ is done, and obviously only a shadow of his former self he IS still the only guy that obviously beat down Bernard Hopkins and avenging a name like that on his record does something of a sentimental significance. Then, for a 45 year old man to move up to HEAVYweight to beat the current champion of the world, after campaigning for what - his whole career under 185? Surely that's never been done, and somewhere along the lines beat a recognized world champion at his own weight.

      IMO that's all pretty significant, if only because rarely do fighters continue campaigning at his age.

        I agree with Ex, right now out of the 3 fights you mentioned, Haye is the only one of any real worth.

          Beating Haye would be massively impressive.

            It would be impressive but I doubt it would happen as Haye hits far too hard. I hope Haye fights Wladimir.
