Comments Thread For: Hopkins Pondered Move To Heavyweight To Face Haye

[J Silky Slim Mo]

Haye says if Hopkins is still feeling testy, he can still get it! I like BHop, but Haye would have KO'd Hopkins then and he will KO Hopkins now. BHop did the right thing....Dream of facing Haye and then suddenly woke up and realized that it was only a dream. Haye is too quick, skilled and powerful for BHop. Those dirty tricks wouldn't work at Heavyweight. BHop would be too weak to hold on to a beast like Haye. Haye would toy with him for 3 rounds, take him in DEEP WATERS and KO the Alien in 7. One last thing...Haye says...Hopkins must think he's Roy Jones or something....lolol.

Does anyone know why the fight with tooney didn't materialize?

I think he took the Oscar fight instead

And maybe don king halted it too , just like he did for the Roy jones rematch.

Hopkins could clown with Mitchell, Banks, and Adamek.

Haye would ragdoll him.

poopkins would win some rounds before getting knocked out.

haye is a real puncher.

Yes let the old man blabber on... sure is quite a blowhard in his old age. And many of us sure are glad the Haye fight didn't happen. BHop would be living in a nursing home about now.

Haye would have smashed Hopkins. All he would is one good shot. A 217 pound David Haye would have destroyed old man Hopkins. Dude is crazy. Much props doe. And to think posters yesterday was crying about Floyd defending his belts at 154 vs GGG who was wiling to meet him there. It's hilarious to me.

BHop needs to worry about Kovalev first and foremost. If that bout goes the distance, I see BHop getting the nod on points. If there's a knockout, it will be the Krusher standing over him. But BHop is a smart fighter and will surely avoid Kovalev's power punches. Look for a long, boring fight with BHop popping Kovalev just enough to get 10-9 rounds and doing a lot of Mayweather-type running.

"The curse of Bernard Hopkins" derailed Haye's career before they even got to fight lol!

Haye got too close to the "looking glass"

[Yaconcha]

haye is as quick as bhop, bernard could do the weight at his age but, no fackin chance of winning against haye unless he could avoid EVERY BOMB.
HAYE BY MASSIVE KO AND PUTTING BERNARD INTO RETIREMENT.
