Comments Thread For: Hopkins Hints Again at Desire to Face Floyd Mayweather

[kafkod]

Pretty Much hes ducking the Krusher I actually think that B-hop has a chance against Kov after the agnew fight

Not me. I can see where you are coming from - Agnew did surprise him and land clean with quick counters several times. But Kovalev ko'd him with a left jab to the body, for ***'s sake, and he couldn't even get up on his own 5 minutes after the ref waved it off. The guy has serious power, and anybody who can't put him away pretty quickly is going to end up being broken down before too long, even B-Hop.

Not defending? So he was talking BS mentioning Kovalev? Knew it!

Alien got back in spaceship pretty fast!

Superman already flew far, far away!

Bhop needs to give it a rest, calling out a welterweight to fight at 165 pounds when you are a light-heavyweight. It is delusional.

Floyd Mayweather: 100/0 purse split with you getting a fixed amount of money, and PED testing.... and I'll kick yo ass

[cupocity303]

floyd would not beat his ass, we have weight classes for a reason. isnt bhop 6 feet tall, floyd is fcking 5'7. this would be like oscar-hopkins.

if floyd moves up to beat bhop, nobody here can ever doubt his greatness

edit: floyd is 5'8 sorry

No, he is really 5'7 and a half and they rounded it up to 5'8. There is footage of one of his early fights where he was listed 5'7 and a half and he couldn't have grown since then.

But I agree, all the usual Floyd counters that are available to him against fighters in his height range, wouldn't be available to him against a crafty 6 foot Hopkins. You may use Corrales as the anecdotal evidence but the problem is:

1. Chico was still shorter than Hopkins and

2. Corrales was a stationary target, a la Margarito. Floyd would have to throw punches outside of his comfort zone to catch Hopkins. Not saying that Hopkins would dominate, but as someone else said, it would be a boring fight with nobody landing anything and Hopkins just might bet the nod on points.

I'm a fan of B-Hop, but he needs to stop latching his name to Floyd every time he schools B\C level guys. It just adds more credibility to the fact that he is severely jealous of Floyd.

The imaginary fight isn't gonna happen, all that is happening is B-Hop will get more questions from the ever meaningless media. B-Hop is very good at what he does, but Floyd would school him into embarrassment and that is the truth.

How about actually fighting some of the top guys in the LHW division. That would be a better move than calling\mentioning WW Floyd at every turn and fighting guys with 16 pro fights and no trainer.

B-Hop is a rare (once in a lifetime) boxer, but he's also got a lot of BS with him and he knows how to play people who may be a little slow.

Leonard & Hearns Went All The Way To Light Heavyweight For Challenges

Floyd doesn't have ballz that big. And that's the clear difference between the legends and Floyd Junior. He says it himself, he'll keep hand picking opponents as long as you the fans, keep paying him to. Mayweather is about making the most money; he's not about being the best of the best. He would have never crawled in the ring against Robinson, Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Pryor, Arguello or Chavez Sr. Hell, Floyd won't fight Pacquiao let alone those legends just mentioned.

[turnedup]

Even though I think Brother Richardson and Bhop may know how to beat Floyd since they both have vast familiarity with both of Floyd's best tools I don't think Bhops hand speed is enough to pull it off. Plus Floyd ain't ever going up to 160 so discussing this is pointless. Expect Angel Garcia to call up richardson a.s.a.p if Haymon punches the ticket to face Floyd tho..

[jas]

I'm a bhop fan and im saying this calling out of Mayweather should stop.

[Carpe Diem]

Floyd wouldn't beat him. All B-Hop would do is crowd him and rough him up with rabbit punches. Hopkins would make it a very ugly fight and Floyd doesn't have the size to deal with a seasoned vet who has mastered the art of dirty tactics. Floyd has no business fighting above Jr Middleweight.
