Comments Thread For: Hopkins Moving Down, Eyes Final Bout With a Champion

[SterlingStained]

i would love for bhop to come full circle and end his career at middleweight and take on GGG.

GGG finally gets a famous name. bhop goes out like a fcking G taking on another avoided ko killer. goes 12 rounds, maybe even does better and give GGG some much needed seasoning, fight is action packed all the way to a 12rth round final bell ko by GGG catapulting a new star and putting down an old lion....

how badass of an ending would that be?

That fight would likely be hard to watch, similar to Holmes-Ali.

basically...

second to last mini paragraph in the article, Hopkins on potential opponent, he wants a Champion and "it will be from a division beneath me"

as for who those guys are - Froch currently holds the IBF and WBA Super MW titles, Abraham with the WBO and Dirrell with the WBC

while Golovkin vs Hopkins has been talked about in past, I don't see anything to gain by it from Golovkin's end of it. Outside of a violent KO, what does Golovkin gain from a fight vs Hopkins? I don't see much

if the Chavez Jr-Froch talks die again, I say Hopkins vs Froch, and NO don't have it at 170, have it at Super Middle for Froch's 2 belts, provided the IBF doesn't strip Froch first.

This could just as easily mean that he's dragging a smaller opponent up to Light Heavyweight

I think Hopkins should retire

[MrRolltide91]

Nah, Ward would humiliate Hopkins. Way too good and way too athletic.

agreed.......

[The Hammer]

Hopkins would take the rather limited, basic Carl Froch to school, and win a wide UD. It's a good style match-up for him.

I imagine he'd beat Arthur Abraham fairly easily too.

But can Hopkins actually win a world title? He'd need to make 168 to take a belt.

[kombayn]

Hopkins could make 168 without being drained I think. 160 is way out of the question.

[Elvizzz]

He should fight Kessler...

Bernard Hopkins will return to the ring despite losing to Sergey Kovalev last weekend. The 49-year-old former champion on Tuesday ended speculation that he was ready to retire by saying he would fight "one more time".

Hopkins, who failed to win a round on any of the scorecards in the light heavyweight title unification bout against Kovalev, said in a telephone interview with Fox Sports:

Yep, GGG needs a name and Hopkins is still a name which would help him. 160 or 168 either way they can come to a compromise since GGG is desperate for a big name.
