GGG to Fight Hopkins at 168 Wtf ??

[Redd Foxx]

Hahaha... Don't forget his cousin Roy "The Black Russian" Jones, Jr!

You ain't lying if they can't get SRL or Haggler I'm sure they will challenge Jake Lamotta he's only close to 100

Please, FFS guys, don't give them any ideas! I think Sanchez reads these forums (how else could he come up w/ some of the bullshyt he says).
I'm scared that if Lamotta turns them down they'll ask Robert DeNiro. Close enough, eh?

[Raonic]

It's the weight between 160 and 175. I doubt the fight happens though, but people are foolish to dismiss Hopkins just because he's 52 years old. He's still honestly one of the better fighters out there. Realistically, he's better than some of the guys Kovalev, Stevenson, GGG, Ward, etc have faced the past year or 2.

Hopkins beats GGG.

They're not challenging him, Hop is pushing for it cause he wants to go out on a ****. And Loeffler said, if they can't get Canelo, Bjs and Jacobs, then it becomes an option

Loeffler said himself Sanchez has been pushing for the fight for a long time.

hopkins has been hinting that he wants golovkin ("a certain champion at 160") since around or before the kovalev fight

but it still seems very pointless

Would have been a better win pre Kovalev. At this point it's Hop trying to make it happen, and his team are more concerned with protecting Canelo than his health

[SN!PER]

Hopkins is doing Ward a favor with this fight.

If Golovkin fights at 168, Ward can make the argument that Golovkin should fight him at 168 too.

Trainer Abel Sanchez said he’s lobbied for Hopkins for the past eight months as a possible option. “I don’t care about (age 51),” Sanchez said. “Bernard represents a step that a lot of champions wish they had on their ledger. That’s a big thing.”

The Kovalev fight was 14 months ago.

This fight would be a hilariously ****** move on Golovkins part. Hopkins beats GGG at 52 years of age at 168 or higher.
