    Hopkins vs Lacy at 168?

    How come no one talks about this fight? Check this out. Hopkins says he wants one more fight before he hangs them up and he wants Tarver. Now Tarver is one of the top guys right now and that would be a solid fight but the truth is it will probally still suck.

    Tarver is a counter puncher and is hardly aggressive and since the Tito fight, Hopkins has been less and less aggressive and his opponents havent helped that, including Taylor. I mean Hopkins fights have been super boreing lately, despite how good he has been.

    Now think about a fight with Lacy. He is the perfect opponent. It wouldnt be boring like Hopkins vs Taylor or Tarver. Lacy would bring the fight straight to Hopkins and would try to KO him from the jump. Then we could see Hopkins skill go to work and see how he could handle him at this age. It is also more better because he doesnt have that far to go like he would if it was Tarver at 175.

    A Hopkins-Lacy fight would be super exciting and you know Lacy would be down for it. It would be great to see Hopkins go out in his last fight in a super exciting one against a big puncher at a higher weight. Everyone would want to see this fight. It would sell big time with boxing fans.

    What are your thoughts on this fight? Would you like to see it and who do you think would win and how?

    Will never happen, as BHop will be retired before Lacy's next fight.

    So.. with that in mind...

    Lacy KO1!!!

      You haven't heard anything about this fight because Bitchnard doesn't want to spend his retirement comatose.

        Lacy UD. Hopkins would box circles around him and then lose another decision.

          I don't want ot see Hopkins suffer his first KO loss at 41 years old come on he has come too far to throw it all away like roy did.

            Hopkins would never be able to keep up the pace!

            Jeff Lacy is a guy who fights three minutes of a round at full speed...people talk about the Hopkins v. Tito fight like Nard was an active fighter and then he started to slow down...watch the first 5 or 6 rounds...he wasnt very active.

            He would die of exhaustion against Lacy and his counter right may land when thrown but I cant see it doing any damage.

            Lacy or Calzaghe would beat Bernard and I have had this opinion for at least the last three years, to big and to active.

                    won't it be funny if he tries though? As long as he doesn't pull a Hakkar...
