    If Hopkins Beats Eastman

    If Hopkins beats Eastman which i think he will by UD, there doesn't seem to be any big fights left for him at middleweight. His two biggest wins were against tito and DLH and everyone thought he would beat DHL.

    I think he is a great fighter but he has beaten a lot of average middleweights such as Robert Allen twice, William Joppy etc.

    What about Hopkins moving up to super middleweight and fighting Calzaghe, Hopkins is looking for a big fight, a challenge but there is non left at middleweight, Calzaghe is the same at super midd, he is now looking for a big fight at Light Heavyweight, but it looks like Johnson will fight Tarver again so he would have to wait for the winner. This could be a good match for both of them.

    Hopkins vs Calzaghe what do you think?????

    Hopkins said on ********** that :"After 20 defenses, the belts won't mean nothing to me!" so I am guessing he will either fight Tito or move up in weight.

      I hope Hopkins-Johnson happens if Glen beats Tarver again.

          Yeah, I'm hoping for this one too. Or the Tarver-Hopkins bout as well.

            From what I heard, BHop is planning on retiring within this year. He would probably have a rematch with Trinidad before the end of the year. Or he could fight Trinidad on the summer, beat him, then have a big match with Glen (or Tarver) before closing this year and his career.

              I think he should stay at his weight and go for 25 defenses. moving up in weight is how roy jones **** on his career.

                Hopkins started as a 175lber.

                If Hopkins beats Eastman it's just going to be one of those I told you so kind of things.

                If Eastman beats Hopkins Pretty Boy Floyd automatically moves up to the #1 spot on the p4p rankings..

                  Hopkins should follow this plan to end his career:

                  February - Eastman
                  Summer - Trinidad (if Trinidad beats Winky)
                  December - Taylor (if Taylor continues to impress)
                  Retire
