    I think it could be a good fight, shane hits harder than DLH, and is very tough. Hopkins size might be the difference maker in this fight. Wright and Hopkins would make for a better fight.

      i agree wright would make a better fight but he still needs a couple more before even thinking about b-hop. unfortunately that may make it too late. b-hop only has maybe two more before he retires.

          Mosley's a big name, a big draw, and a fairly easy win for Hopkins. He'd take it.

            The hell with hopkins fighting anyone that weighs less than him. With the exception of mayorga no one one Bernards weight or lower will make an exciting fight. At least Ricardo would attack, I think Ricardo would attack an oncoming semi-nard still gets him but it would be exciting. Anyone else and boxing fans pay for an overpriced chess match. I want to see NArd fight someone bigger, TArver would be ideal and after that I would love to see Calzaghe. These are two fights that would be awesome, forget Bernard and the lighter guys, he has proved his point with Oscar and Tito. Now lets ee something different, lets see him fight somone bigger. What do you think?

              I think Bernard vs. Tarver is close to a pick 'em fight. I don't think Calzaghe stands a chance. He hasn't fought anyone near Bernard's level ever. If Bernard was a major league baseball team, Calzaghe has only played A and AA teams so far.

                Bernard vs. Tarver ain' gonna happen. Tarver's talkin about fighting Glen Johnson, now. Either way, though. Hopkins fightin a bigger guy wouldn't happen cus Tarver would have to come down, right? Hopkins isn't goin up in weight, if he does, he's not as smart as I thought he would be. He's never gone up in weight so he doesn't know how that'll affect him. But Antonio's been a middleweight before, so there shouldn't bee too much of a disadvantage for either fighter. Hopkins is happy where he's at. If a fighter from a lighter weight comes to fight him and loses, who's fault is that?
