Hopkins Still Wants David Haye

[BillyBoxing]

Bernard Hopkins told Steve Bunce he is interested in a fight with David Haye at Heavyweight after his fight with Roy Jones and Hayes fight with John Ruiz.

He said that Jones beat Ruiz and Haye is class above Ruiz he is willing to step up and take that fight because Haye isnt a big heavyweight

Hopkins is currently 190lbs and dont see him bulk up that much and will be very interesting fight and really interested in watching this than a Klitschko fight

Beating Haye,a former unified CW champ,by KO for a WBA HW title would be a damn great achievement and throw Hopkins at the top 20,15 ATG easy.


Problem is I don't think Nard has the power to take advantage of Haye's glass chin.
If he can't blow out a dominated blown up Middleweight like Pavlik...

Bernard talk a lot about fightin bigger guys(Adamek,Haye)but I don't see it happening.

The only fight I want to see is Bernard vs Toney,but obviously Bernard prefers a shot hurt Roy.

if this fight goes down I think hopkins will surprise a lot of you people who are saying "haye KO1".

Hopkins might not be able to win but he will go the distance and it will be competitive.

It will be interesting to see what hopkins looks like around 200 pounds and if that increases his power or not, as well as his stamina. Also interesting that he's currently at 190 pounds that's definitely his heaviest weight

Why will he go the distance with a 6-3, 230 Pound heavy weight with speed and a right hand from hell?

How does a 45 year old Hopkins do that?

defense & a great chin. The same way james toney goes the distance against big heavyweights.


I'd put all my points on that.

[Joe Ko!]

He is not like 45 year old though

He is fighting very well still hence being P4P top 5 in most lists

Hopkins wants this as his last fight and Haye will take 4 sure imo

I've seen Haye fight before and its not like this is a fight B-Hop can't win in any shape form or fashion. Its a fight B-Hop could actually win depending on the B-Hop that shows up. B-Hop should and would fight real dirty against Haye. As long as B-Hop is not on the end of consistent long punches from Haye with B-Hop's smarts, defense its a fight he could very well win.

Hopkins man forget haye..focus on RJJ for now then fight some one like chad dawson then retire ..your still a legend b-hop either way

[IMDAZED]

my dude gets criticized for NOT fighting Dawson at LHW for a title B.Hop ALREADY had in the past.......then he gets disrespected for challenging a BIGGER STRONGER dude in a HIGHER division......I mean what does the old head have to do get some props.....after he defeats Haye I hope he gets the RESPECT he has truly EARNED!!!....B.Hop is a boxing God!!!

I'd rather he fight Dawson. Bigger doesn't necessarily make better.

Look at the stats. BH has never been stopped. Valuev had never been stopped, so wasnt against Haye.
Haye isnt that great that he can just blow a legend like BH away. If you were a betting man youd might make a buck or 2 saying BH loses a decision.

[General Zod]

Hopkins has also said he wants Ademek, Jones, Toney and Maskeev. I dont remember any of those fights happening
