    Ward by early KO !!! B-Hop is a shell of himself.Yes, there are even some paper champions that he can beat but he has no pop and only fights in spirts. Ward would swarm him and hurt him. Ward,Kessler, or Froch would retire B-Hop at 175. Kovalev would KO him too. Dawson has the style to consistently beat him too. Let's not get excited about beating Cloud who plods ahead but doesn't throw punches. .

      Dawson is tougher for B.Hop to fight than Ward is imo...Chad is a big tall LHW

        By the time they fight Hopkins will be older, that's one of the main reasons why I picked Ward by ko/tko.

          Ok fair enough, well yeh I'm not sure if it will happen either.

              I voted Ward by decision. Hopkins is amazing for his age but he is really old and would just be older when this fight happened if it happened. Dawson was able to beat Hopkins and Ward is better than Dawson. Hopkins would have a chance to win because Ward would not get away with some of the tactics that work on other fighters such as illegal holding and hitting that both Ward and Hopkins often do. Ward is in his prime and would probably win.

                He would give Ward one of the toughest fights of his career, although I see Ward winning.

                  Ward wins, no doubt.

                    Definitely a one-sided Ward decision, and I don't think it's that far reached to think he might stop Hopkins. At this point, Hopkins has to be smarter and better technically to control a fight and win it, and he's not doing that against Ward. He's 48, that we're even talking about this is praise enough for him.

                      any knowledgeable aka hardcore boxing fan knows Ward should beat B.Hop...we all know how good Ward is and how old B.Hop is....so I know what type of threat Ward is to B.Hop atm...he's a MAJOR one...the P4P king!!

                      with that said, you can put B.Hop against Godzilla or his son...doesn't matter, my heart will NEVER pick against B.Hop...NEVER!!!!

                      I would LOVE for this fight to be made....its a win win for me as a boxing fan...worst case scenario...B.Hop gets stopped...I can live with that...I see Ward as the FUTURE...he's the dude I wanna see win more than any young fighter in the game atm INCLUDING Broner...with the exception of my Philly fighters of course lol

                      if B.Hop beats Ward...OMFG!!!...the boxing world will HAVE to bow down and kiss whatever lol....thats why I want B.Hop to take this fight...he loses, so the **** what, Ward is the king of the ring atm....styles make fights...this will be a battle of the wits imo..B.Hop can outwit SOG imho...knowing what to do and being physically able to implement it is the other fight B.Hop be fighting these days

                      B.Hop beat up and schooled quite a few dudes he was supposed to get beat by...not a new position to be in for us B.Hop fans...been here before
