    Interesting how a round and a half can blur perspective.
    come on man Hopkins is gonna be 47 by the time this fight is made lol

    he's not super man- the shoulder incident is just a sign of where his body is going.

          Despite what he says, I don't see Bernard Hopkins actually moving up to Crusierweight. If he did, I'd see him looking to fight Tarver for his strap.

            Easy win for bhop.

            Hopkins would weigh in around 185. You don't need to be big and powerful to beat Lebedev, just need to beat him to the punch and slide to the side. He's too basic for bhop.

              Do you really want to see that fight again?

                  I'm just being realistic. Hopkins damn sure wont go to Russia. Hopkins/Lebedev would probably end up on Showtime if it came off after the Dawson debacle. I just don't see it.

                  To me, Hopkins vs Tarver or Pascal if he gets another significant win are the right fights for Bernard. I also think Hopkins could maybe out-think Tavoris Cloud after seeing the way Yusaf Mack was boxing him.

                    In the post interview Leb said, that his next fight will be in Vegas.

                      Does HBO have a choice? They signed hopkins to a three fight deal after the first pascal fight. I believe they are obligated to carry his next fight.

                      Lebedev stated he wants to fight in Vegas next. Seems that in theory it could happen.
