Whoever wins this rightfully deserves the top spot in the light heavy division.

No that honor belongs to Stevenson.

For beating Ward and Bhops leftovers?


But Bhop takes Shumenovs soul

No, for beating the guy who beat Hopkins.

For the record I don't like Stevenson, and I would root for (and pick) Hopkins to beat him, but right how Stevenson is the man at 175, and Hopkins beating Shumenov won't change that.

BHop lost to Dawson and we all know the story after that....Superman is the man to beat


BHop is just in the belt collecting business atm....once Superman and Frankenstein clear up their side....the oldman will fight a winner takes all against the dude who prevail on the other side and walk off win or lose....he held ALL the belts at MW at one time and he's looking to retire off accomplishing that again but this time at LHW

You mean top contender spot right?

[Beercules]

Yo if Bhop beats this crazy Russian dude at like 95 years old then man he is a bad dude

[zuz]

Shumenov is going to lose like 119-109. Bernard is unbeatable since 93.

U're right.

Also it deserves top 6 p4p spot.

Unified champion at 50... unbelievable.
