Hopkins scared of Wlad? Cherrypicking Haye?

[JBell11]

Looks that way.

Really Burner??? I am no fan of Haye, nor the klitch's...but to challenge (call out) any one of those HWs is pretty impressive. Haye is a younger, bigger, stronger fighter than Hopkins. IMO it would be VERY interesting to see how Hopkins does with a fighter with those advantages. I am not sure if Hopkins could win, but I wouldn't put it passed him to pull off an upset. Also he would be squashing the "he only picks on smaller fighters" stigma he's developed over the years.

I don't think he's so much ducking the Wlad or Vitali as he sees an easier opportunity to get a HW belt by fighting a guy more his size, who he thinks he can beat, who is also a draw.

I'd love to see Bhop try against the Klitschkos but i think they're too big, have too much a reach advantage, and fight a really safe style which probably wouldn't favor Bhop as much as fighting Haye

Fighting a Klit would be an extreme risk...the size difference would be outrageous...

Burner, Hopkins is just talking **** he won't even fight Dawson who has been calling him out since 06 and now you think he is going to fight a young fast HW with the power to stun a 7000lb yeti?

Besides he has business to attend to, but you musta forgot.

You're kidding, right?

Hopkins, at 45, even making the move to Heavyweight to fight a decent contender would be a big risk, a big, young, fast powerful guy like Haye? He's taking a huge risk if he goes for that fight. When Jones went to heavyweight, in his prime, even he didn't go for Lewis, the top dog. He went for Ruiz, a respectable opponent and a huge risk, but he wasn't looking for Lewis...

yep....fight night, were talking about a 60 lb. weight advantage.


it'd be more impressive to beat one of the klits, but you can't shake your head at hopkins fighting haye.



huge step up from roy j j.

lol @ a 45 year old former middleweight moving up to fight at heavyweight and being called a cherrypicker.

Why would Haye want this fight? he wants the HW titles not fuck about fighting LHWs

[Derranged]

I think its a great idea for him to fight Wlad. A 45 year old blown up middleweight, in his first fight in the hw division, should fight the best fighter in that division. Makes perfect sense.
