Comments Thread For: Hopkins vs. DeGale is an Option, Says Eddie Hearn

[MDPopescu]

... I didn't even want to see B-Hop vs Kovalev... B-Hop must retire as a legend...

Why!? This is a horrible fight that does nothing, apart from give Hopkins another pay day.

This is a seriously lame fight. Unless you're a marginal belt holder looking to make serious paper only then you should face Hopkins. He is a lose-lose and has been for a while. You win, you beat up grandpa and if you lose, well you got you azz beat by a grandpa. No credit what so ever.

Chunky should target Felix Sturm for fall if they can get him to travel after of course getting his first defense out of the way. Then of course hopefully Groves does the his part of beating Jack and we can get that Unification going.

That's true for someone like Froch who is already established. A win over Hopkins brings more needed attention to DeGale overseas

I'd rather see DeGale-Kessler than see old man Hopkins stink out the place as usual. DeGale would beat him, too fresh, too skilled.

That's not a bad shout

Why don't you see it? Because Hopkins has trouble with tall rangy fighters?
But who has DeGale beaten? He has a loss to Groves. The decision could have gone to Dirrell in many eyes. He does not pose a physical threat the likes of Kovalev. I would put my money on b-hop, think he would pick him apart.

Hopkins will be almost 51 years old when this fight happens

That's dinosaur age in boxing

Degale doesn't have slow feet.

Hopkins has only lost to guys that are athletic.

Hopkins would beat Abraham. But that guy won't fight bhop. He will just keep his wbo belt hostage in Germany.

So it's time for Hopkins to retire

But unfortunately, degale vs Hopkins will happen late this year and will be on hbo

Smh

Not really interested in this fight.

DeGale-Jack unification makes sense to me if he beats Groves, but Haymon likely won't allow that, and I don't see Bute making the trip to the UK again either.

Kessler is retired, save for Froch/Ward bouts.

It might be Rocky Fielding if he beats Vera or maybe even Froch if he decides.

They can call it ducked by Froch on Sky Box office

Hopkins is a tricky fight for Degale but I do see the exposure in the U.S. out weighing the risks as everyone knows what a nightmare fighting Hopkins is and only the top few prevail.
