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

[MoneyMayFan]

It's a damn shame Rigo, Hopkins and Ward aren't around Floyd's weight range. It would be amazing to see him in with similarly gifted fighters.

They arent similarly gifted though.

Agreed!!!

Each weight class seems to have a special boxer that, for obvious reason, can't cross the divide to challenge similarly equal talents.

I doubt it. He's definitely short, but he's definitely taller than 5'6". If Floyd is 5'6", then Marquez is 5'5", Manny is 5'4", and Bradley is 5'4". No way.

Floyd is really 5'7 1/2 but because of his extraordinarily long arms he just gets rounded off to 5'8. He's definitely not 5'6 with a 72" reach that's just insane..

So he would want to fight Floyd for the lineal lhw title...that would be amazing...but no happening..but imagine Cotto beating Martinez and floyd beating Cotto for the lineal title..then fighting Hopkins at lightheavy...lol

Why does cotto have to win? Why can't he just fight Martinez?

Bernard Hopkins has spoken of it before, and he’s now bringing it up again: a potential fight with pound-for-pound and box-office king Floyd Mayweather.

“After I become light heavyweight champion again, if there’s one big fight out there and I think ‘50-50,’ he gets 50 wins, I turn 50, that’d be huge at 165, 170 pounds,” he said, a reference to Hopkins’ upcoming birthday in January 2015 and to Floyd Mayweather’s anticipated record of 49-0 once he reaches the end of his Showtime deal at the end of 2015.

Floyd will have to have a huge set of balls to face Hopkins. Floyd wil never face anyone where he is the underdog so we know this wont happen.

This would be like Floyd calling out Nonito Donaire or something......

Not really 4C when was the last time BHop weighed sub 168

[kingfaze19]

hopkins sounds ridiculous and i lose respect for him when he does this crap, why not call out andre ward, i hope floyd just ignores this nonsense.

has nothing to do with balls smh, floyd will never be 165 pounds, im sure pacquiao wont be crazy enough to face hopkins either, why is it people want floyd to go at lara, martinez, and now even hopkins but nobody is telling manny to do any of these things.

It would probably break all the ppv records out there. I think Floyd wins.
