    Hopkins by dominant decision, Abraham was overrated and I knew Dirrel was gonna put rounds in the bank all night.




    Hopkins loses by 115-113, 116-112 type in a ugly fight with Dawson just being busier.



    Hopkins's dirty tactics that he hides from the ref either help him wear Dirrel down and TKO him late or win a decision OR he gets DQ'd. How about that?




    Ugly fight, both like to clinch. Wars is a great talent but those talents wouldn't be at their best displayal in this one. However he pulls off the decision in a stink-fest.




    Boxes his ears off and potentially catches him flush with a counter, hurts him and get him outt of there.



    In this one, Hopkins finally gets to look good again Tito, Tarver, Pavlik style. Not alot of clinching, boxes his head off.



    Same as above.




    Could be tricky, Pascal reminds me of young RJJ. How about he losses a decision in Canada but would win a decision in America. Meaning a close, swing round type fight.



    Boxes his ears off but not as pretty as Pavlik, Tarver, Tito as mentioned above.



    Probably losses a decision focusing more on defense and less on offense, avoiding thos big 200+ pound punches.

    That is a delusional prediction in every sense of the word. Hopkins is 45 years old, he has the work-rate and speed of a grandpa. Words cannot describe how vulnerable he is. He's been past his prime since 2005. He couldn't even beat Taylor and barley beat Winky Wright, lol. Unless Hopkins has the speed of Dirrell, Abraham would knock Hopkins the **** out. As for Dirrell and Ward, they are so much better then Hopkins right now, and Pascal would beat Hopkins like a piņata because he's so fast.

    But of course all those predictions won't matter much because Hopkins is DONE as a top fighter and will retire this year.

      You are truly ******ed if you think Hopkins can knock out Dirrell. You're so delusional it's ridiculous. Let me tell you something Hopkins is in his last batteries, and I don't think he has any more energy left, let alone enough to take on the top contenders.

      As for the Tavoris Cloud prediction, lol lol lol. Did you see what Tavoris Cloud did to Clinton Woods, there is no doubt in my mind that Hopkins will get KTFO if he fought Cloud.

      The rest of your predictions is just ****** beyond belief, you are truly a Hopkins nuthugger.

        These are the best boxers in the SMW and LHW division. I think any one of those guy's would either knock out Hopkins or beat him senseless. I think it's time Hopkins actually fights a legit contender for once or retire.
        Bute - 50/50
        Kessler - W UD
        Abraham - W UD/L KO
        Dawson - L UD
        Dirrell - W UD
        Ward - L UD
        Miranda - W UD
        Green - W UD
        Froch - W UD
        Pascal - W UD
        Cloud - W UD
        Haye - L KO

          Lucian Bute- close win/loss unless Bute's chin isn't steady
          Mikkel Kessler- clear UD
          Arthur Abraham- grueling UD
          Chad Dawson- close win/loss...leaning towards loss
          Andre Dirrell- loss unless Dirrell gets caught wit something bizarre
          Andre Ward- competitive loss
          Edison Miranda- clear UD
          Danny Green- clear UD
          Carl Froch- dominating UD
          Jean Pascal- haven't seen much Pascal UD
          Tavoris Cloud- close UD
          David Haye- Loss...very dangerous fight

            Dirrell, Bute, Pascal, and Cloud are too much for Hopkins right now.

            Given that Hopkins is past his prime he can possibly lose to Green.

            I believe Chad Dawson would put on a boxing clinic on Hopkins.

              Why are you repeating yourself? What's your agenda?


              It's obvious to any real boxing wizard, that the correct and more safe and logical position to take is, that Hopkins won't get knocked out, especially by someone like Bute....

              Stop picking on peoples predictions like you know better because you don't. Bute is a protected Candadian product that's yet to be exposed and will in the near future.

                LOL! Alright there buddy.
                Cloud hasnt proven **** against anybody, Bute hasnt really either, and if you know anything about boxing you know he would humiliate Arthur Abraham.

                  Yeah, cause Clinton Woods and Bernard Hopkins are totally the same thing at this point, right?
                  Dude, you dont know boxing.

                    Hopkins fought Roy Jones Junior above everyone else for a reason. If you know anything about boxing, you would see the OBVIOUS that Hopkins is on his last legs, he's on his last batteries, of course Hopkins nuthuggers such as yourself can't see that.

                    I understand that Hopkins is 45 years old, but when fans say he's the best, then Hopkins should prove that he is the best at LHW. Hopkins doesn't even want to fight Chad Dawson.

                      What in your delusional mind you think Hopkins can handle Cloud who hits hard, is a high volume puncher, and really skilled? Hopkins didn't even want to fight Danny Green, and Cloud is much better then Green. You don't know how to analyze boxing.
