    Hopkins vs. Green at 183, can Hop do it?

    Green is pretty damn crude, I would give Hopkins a very good chance to win that fight.

    Hopkins can make upwards of 5 million dollars for this fight with Aussie PPV money and everything. I think he should go for it. why not add another strap at cruiser? The IBO really isn't that much of a joke, they at least have a purely objective ranking system. but boxing is a subjective sport, so of course it has it's flaws.

      f@ck Green, the guy is a disgrace. Jones, Tarver and now he wants Hopkins? get lost, with all the fraudulent **** that goes on in his fights it's not worth it.

      Plus Hopkins said he didn't want to fight in Europe

          lol natas that quote was funny.

          dawson is DEFINITELY better than green. but i just don't know why hopkins wouldn't want to make such easy loot while beating up a white boy in europe hahaha.

          personally, i think greens power alone, crudeness notwithstanding, presents a more difficult challenge. Dawson's style is gonna stink the joint out. just my opinion, though.

            There have been a number of very shady things invovled with Green fights in Australia.

            personally, i think greens power alone, crudeness notwithstanding, presents a more difficult challenge. Dawson's style is gonna stink the joint out. just my opinion, though.
            You need more than power to beat hopkins, personally I think Green sucks but I think as for hopkins he wants both money and something that really means something as far as his legacy goes and I'm guessing he doesn't see much value to his legacy beating Green (IBO belt not really that cool).

            If he were to go to cruiserweight he would do so against a top guy I reckon. The only person there that makes any sense would be Steve Cunningham in a Philly showdown, but both of them recently said they aren't going to fight eachother because they are both trained by ****m. The other guys (huck, Lebedev) I don't think really bring in too much money but who knows.

              Hopkins would easily beat Green. He shouldn't bother, Bute, Dawson, and the Super Six winner do more for him.

                Natas I can see that perspective. If Hopkins twaxes Green and wipes his nose with the right for 12 rounds then all people will remember is "hopkins ducked *enter better fighter* to beat some brawling bum". haha and upon reflection, yeah, the "ifs and buts" saying was pretty gay. . .

                Bojangles - I would like to see any of those fights.

                I guess im just kinda curious to see if Hopkins can handle power from bigger guys. He handled Pascal's power pretty good for the most part, though.

                  Is Danny Green ready to place his name in the League of Legends (LoL) amongst such greats as Trevor Berbick, Kevin McBride, Shannon Briggs...?
