Hopkins Dropped In Ring Lt. Heavyweight Rating

[Iceta Lives]

If Tavoris Cloud would have fought Glen Johnson and beat him, then the Dawson-Pascal fight wouldn't be for the Ring belt. But it is and deservedly so.

B-Hop won't get blown out, but as of right now, I see Dawson winning pretty clearly. I won't count Bernard out though.

Hopkins' style is poison for southpaws just like the Marquez brothers, but Chad is too quick, active, and has too much skill for this version of Hopkins.

I feel you Q......I see it as 50/50 fight ......Chad is a problem for this version of B.Hop but I do believe he'll find a way to get that W.

[BEEHOP]

They still have him as #5 in the P4P ranking though.

[Jim Jeffries]

Hopkins will never fight Dawson. Hopkins should retire because Haye doesn't want to fight an old man coming up in weight and Hopkins doesn't want to fight any top 10 LHWs.

Haye knows Hopkins is a career killer.

Hopkins looked so good at 170 against Pavlik, I wonder if he could still make 168? Maybe fight Bute? I know Hopkins loves southpaws.

You're probably right. Don King is trying to get this fight placed on Devon Alexander's next fight in the summer. DiBella said HBO didn't even really want the fight, but he sold it to them. Johnson deserves as many paydays as he can get, the man is old school. Hopefully, Johnson gets another opportunity for a HBO payday, unless this **** up didn't **** it up.

Cloud thinks he's good being a year inactive, but it's the reason he got hit so much against Woods. He could have done Woods close to what to he did Gonzalez, but he wasn't as sharp defensively as he could've been. His offense wasn't either and he still threw a **** load which is impressive, but he doesn't have to do that to himself.

Yeah, I wouldn't blame you Sek. It wouldn't be the first time B-Hop surprised everyone, he'd be a live underdog. Depending on how big, I might even bet on him.

#6, Nontio Donaire is 5. I got another thread about it.

[The Hate Giver]

hopkins should be dropped from the top 10 p4p & 175 all together.
