    hopkins becoming undisputed lhw champ..

    wouldnt have thought this to be possible, a fter he lost to calzaghe..

    his next opponent is dawson, stylewise a bad matchup, but a matchup that favours hopkins in the mental aspects of the game.

    if he gets by dawson and the chance is definelty there, then the next would be cloud. A fight he comfortably would win in my book.

    Then he got shumenov or cleverly, shumenov being the easier option, with the historically right belt.

    doesnt seem to be a mission impossible nd would be a huge achievement.

    can he do it.? Is he going for it.?

    I heard he wants Bute after Dawson but he will chase the Undisputed Crown.

    He beats Shumenov/Cleverly easily.

      If he beats Dawson, Cloud should be next. But he mentioned after the Pascal fight that he's eyeing a Bute fight. He can beat either but I prefer Cloud. I wonder whether or not Froch and Ward will remain at 168 after the super 6 ends. Hopkins won't fight Ward, but I can see Froch in his future if he decides to keep going.

        Hopkins also wants money so you can rule out guys like Shumenov.

          Geez.. mother****er is closing in on his 50s and is possibly going for undisputed status..

          I honestly don't really like him for beating Pascal, but gotta give credit where it's due.

            Hopkins wont fight cloud either, no dough. Expect him to go after bute or the winner of the super 6.

              like others are saying, more money might be in other fights...still great to see him fighting at this age, true legend.

                  with all his talk about legacy, being in the historybooks and talked about after his death, it wouldnt surprise me, if he went for it.

                  imagine an almost 50 year old being undisputed. insane.!!
