He is an all time great so why don't you at least have enough respect to call him by his correct name?

No way. I mean look what happened to Chad Dawson when he tried to cut to 168 against Ward, it ended his career.

B-Hop likely walks around at 182/183 (with guys like Kovalev walking around 190/195 before camp) before the hard training starts. Give him 12-14 weeks and he makes 168 easy.

No way. He could potentially take that same two piece groves ate and that could kill a drained 50 yr old.
Some of you dudes wanna see b hop drained and get beat up

I'd be scared to see what Bhop would look like at 168 against Froch or God forbid 160 against Golovkin.

50 yrs. old and weight drained, he would seriously look like a skeleton.

I don't remember Hopkins ever weighing in at more than 173 for a fight, so yes....when he was 160 he ran 5 miles every morning, and cut back as he went up in weight.

He eats healthy and takes care of himself I think he can do it, but I would rather see him retire.
