    So if B-Hop beats Bad Chad.........

    If B-Hop beats bad Chad,what does this do for his legacy??Beating the other 2 best fighters at 175 being 46.Will people still make up excuses to hate on his legitimate greatness??Because there isn't really any other record breaking things of late that I can honestly say would be more impressive.

    If people are going to make excuses about his greatness now they will after that fight also.

    Just like people made excuses about his greatness before this fight.

    I am certainly willing to debate where he lists in terms of greatness but not if he is great because he certainly is.

      I can dig it bro.Some said he cherrypicked Pascal.******ed logic no doubt.A 46 year old cherrypicking the highest ranked champ at 175 who's in his 20's,does that even make sense??

        It would look great if he could beat a guy who is a bad style match-up for him at age 46. I think a lot of objective fans would consider him significantly greater if he beat Bad Chad.

          Legacy wise this fight doesnt make much sense being that he just beat the man that beat Dawson. I think he should fight Bute instead.

            Bute is not risking a date with the super six winner by getting creamed from B-Hop.

              Nobody disputes his atg'ness, but it must be said that both Calzaghe and Jones beat him in that era. (Jones, when it mattered more, in my opinion)

                Bute is a tough fight for Hops imo. Not sure If he needs to risk that one. Lucian is a fighting fool right now.

                  I think he would since Hopkins beat Pascal and this would now be a pretty big event in Canada.

                    Ok,so Jones beat him green & JC won a really close decision.What exactly does that have to do with how great he was,or is??
