    Now now you can look at it both ways. Mayweather would be fighting a 49 year old moving down two weight divisions.

          bhop is delusional...just because floyd is a ppv star doesn't mean people will buy a floyd-bhop fight.

            He's just drumming up Hype for his fight against Murat.

            It's working, because Hopkins knows boxing fans are idiots. Perfect example: this thread.

              It's just the way it is. Floyd will always be on the negative side when it comes to these guys on here.

                This.

                Also anybody that calls a matchup like this a "duck" if it isn't accepted by one of the fighters is no more than a fanboy with an agenda.

                  No point of this fight happening. If Hopkins was the middleweight champ as he was 10 years ago, then maybe I could see the appeal.
                  Hopkins hung around at 160 too long and it cost him against Taylor. He is a big man at 6'1 with a 75 inch reach. LHW is natural for him at this point. Floyd is naturally 145ish and is 5'8.

                  No win situation for either fighter. Hopkins beats up a small guy, Floyd beats an old man who was weight drained.

                  btw De La Hoya was a joke as a middleweight, got a gift against Sturm, didnt belong in the same ring as BHop

                    Who else can floyd fight that would be interesting. nobody else left in the GB stable. garcia, khan are very easy work for mayweather. what's next rematches with the ghost or ortiz?

                    but yea 0.000000001% chance this fight happens.

                      contractual issues aside, if he wants to make his resume as good as possible

                      challenge Golovikin if he wins next week, at 160, no catchweight.
                      win or lose, fight Pacquiao next. Yes it should have happened years ago but better late than never.
