Bernard Hopkins

[arodriguez]

What do you all think has more of a significant meaning B-Hop vs. RJJ and then fighting for Heavyweight belt. Or him fighting Chad Dawson???

Obviously fighting for a HW title outweighs anything else in boxing.

The Dawson fight was never going to happen. Hopkins beating this version of Jones is his way of avenging his loss, although its meaningless now. I cant see Hopkins moving up to HW, I think he will move down and try and grab a SMW strap

I cant see it happening know, I dont think Ruiz wants to fight another MW,lol and I cant see why Hayes would want to fight him, Hopkins isnt a big draw like Roy used to be.
Hayes last ppv was 1m and Hopkins was 190K, is Hopkins willing to take like a 80/20 split?

I doubt that...

He clearly has his eyes set on trying to get a shot at Haye...

Besides, the only significant fight at SMW would be Bute, because the others are in the tournament, so that would means he would have to wait until around 2012, so I don't see that happening...

like said a HW title is always gr8 but apparently dont make u gr8 hell Jones jr won one and people still sayen he is dud and shot..well mayb they jus mean right now hope those people tho realize Jones was above par by all means..this fight is def key for Hop as its the most talked about event of his career(the jones loss that is) so to avenge it would b key for him far as Dawson sure it will show he has what it takes still and all and would b more of an accomplishment for the now...but not as much for legacy as beating Jones

I beleive that haye is capable of ko bernard hopkins.

I think nard also knows that chad dawson will UD him.. in a boring fight.

Haye has a rematch agreement with Valuev, who will most probably exercise it after his fight with Ruiz. So that fight wouldnt be able to happen this year either

the only reasons I think it could happen with Haye are for one, he's golden boy, and two, if haye wants to make a name in america fighting hopkins would accomplish that.

I don't know if that's something haye cares about (being a star in america like amir khan wants to be) but fighting a big american name, in a fight like this that would generate a whole lot of press, could be something haye wants. Who knows.

Yea, he's looking at waiting a while regardles i guess...

Nobody wants a Haye-Valuev rematch...but...i guess it'll be happening regardless...
