Comments Thread For: Hopkins Ready For London: I Want To Beat Up DeGale!

I dont think Bhop can pull the trigger anymore. He should retire and become a trainer to share his vast boxing knowledge with the next generation.

Degale wins: He beat a shot Hopkins.

Degale loses: He lost to a senior citizen.

No point.

The point is to increase his profile.

I couldn't give a **** how much credit he gets. It will help lead to the bigger fights.

I love Hopkins but he is an old man. Kovalev beat him up and I fear now for his safety. The guy is 50, is a legend and that should be enough of a legacy for him.

Kovalev didn't really beat him up to where someone should be thinking he's damaged goods. People saying that are only saying that to prevent their favorite fighters from looking bad against the man.. they have fear of that happening.

True.

However, speaking of raising profile, a first defense is a showcase bout and Degale must look good doing it. Hopkins is slippery and it would become a real boxing match, which I don't think is good for your average joe (no pun). Kessler ticks all boxes as you said in the other thread.

My biggest concern with this fight is that I don't want someone else making history on Degale's expense. Not that I don't believe in James' ability, but there is a risk.

Sound advice for B-Hop !!! Hopkins is already ear-marked for the HOF , but his offense is too paltry to still be fighting

[PeterNeversoft]

Would be a really ****** to fight Hopkins. So please don't make that mistake Degale. Not worth it.

[El-blanco]

Hop will humiliate that guy. He lost to groves ffs.
