    Bhop and Brother Naz either saw something or been seeing something in Floyd's last few fights they like..both know just as much if not more about tricks in the ring than sr and jr..just saying most of us didn't think Bhop would win his last few fights..anything is possible...and if he's genuine about wanting the fight expect them to already have a gameplan.

      They probably expect Floyd to walk him down like he did Canelo. But Floyd would fight him like he has fought all taller guys Ghost, Genero, Diego. He would be darting in and out like the smaller man, and Ghost is a southpaw. When Floyd fights southpaws, he only throws slow right hands. No jabs, no hooks, no nothing. Against ortho's, he is a more complete fighter. So you will have the footmovement that he had in the Ghost, Genero fights, but the upper body speed, and offensive arsenal will be that of the Canelo fight, and the JMM fight. Bhop would be drained, and old. And Floyd would overwhelm him with this fast, aggressive, otherworldly-movement style, that taller guys bring out of him. I'd love to see it.

        What I took from that article is that Mayweather turned the fight down.

              ... They lured B-Hop into expressing meaningless things...

                Hahahaha! B-Hop keeps saying "urban".

                Oh hell, why not?

                If anybody can survive the drainage factor, it's gotta be Hopkins and it sure as ish would be interesting.

                How would he deal with the speed along with all the other facets of Floyd's game?

                I'm with Farhood; who the hell else is Floyd gonna fight?

                Long live B-Hop!

                  In Floyds career, he has never had a problem, bloating or draining or fighting old fighters past their best.

                  So if he don't fight BH, it would mean he is ducking once again. BH beat DLH better than FLoyd, so Floyd has much to prove. Floyd likes names on his resume even if they are past their best so no reason why he shouldn't want a ATG who is better than himself on his resume. Floyd will want Pac on his resume before he calls it a day as well.

                    Don't expect Floyd to encourage such kind of calls...
                    ... The likes of Martinez, Golovkin, Ward, etc. are waiting round the corner. And I also don't know what Chavez Jr. would say...
