    But BHop doesnt have that heavy shot relative to a HW.

      Hopkins is too old.

      Would have been interesting several years ago, too late now.

        Haha no you cannot. But you can better your defense, and head movement. And I believe Haye has done that. Not so much that he is a bloody defensive master mind. He still gets hit to some extent. You have seen that in his fight with Ruiz. You forget also that Wlad does not have a grand chin on himself too. But over the years he has done other things to stop punches from reaching his chin.

          those who arent band wagoners, rabid brit fans, or complete idiots will see that hopkins EASILY wins a UD over haye

          his style is all wrong for haye


          for the record, im a MUCH bigger fan of haye than i am hopkins. his style is much more exciting and i like his attitude better. but hopkins wrecks him

            If Hop was 5 years younger and maybe 15 pounds naturally bigger, I'd favour him here.

            Nowadays, no.

                Hopkins is a clever fighter with all the tricks in the book, and could probably make Haye miss alot, i think that Haye would KO him though once he starts to connect. Probably an early KO.

                  true , but when hopkins feels that 40+ pounds of extra power haye carries even with his good chin he is going to crumble .

                  a 45 year old bloated light heavyweight vs a growing , fast heavyweight power puncher is a combination for a mismatch

                  even in the jones fight hopkins was over acting after the jones fouls to catch a breather , no way he could keep up with the fresher haye

                      If Hopkins unloaded his counter cross on Haye while Haye was coming in with his bull****, it would be a KO.
