    Hopkins would be the last fighter I'd put anyone in with, I'm surprised he can still get fights.

    He just ruins everybody, nobody in the past ten years has ever been the same after fighting him.

    I'd never call B-Hop out!! I have far too much respect for him to do such a thing, I've studied and idolised him since I was 12!! I AM NOT READY FOR HOPKINS!! Nor Chad Dawson for that matter!! Nathan Cleverly is several levels below these guys! hence the reason I want the fight so much! I'll beat Cleverly! I'd like to make a defence and then maybe a fight with Shumenov?? he's good but is another who matches up well with myself to be honest.. Tall stand up fighter who fights with his face, All speculation for now but Im just thinking out loud to be honest! I'll say it again though I would never call out the legend that is Bernard Hopkins... ;-)

    Respect.

    That's ideally what i'd plan for you.

    Cleverly -> braehmer-> shumenov.

    If you can beat them 3, I think so, then step up to cloud, pascal etc.

    A lot depends on how long you can stay at the weight and what your goal is.

    I'd love to see an englishman unify the division.

    What ever you do though tony, don't go on a run of bum fights mate, keep it against top ten guys.

    Either way i'm just a teacher, I don't have the balls nor talent to fight for a living so prize fighters like yourself will always be respected by me.

    Bull or not does Mr promoter have his eyes on a stadium fight, Bellew or Cleverley against Bernard in Liverpool or Cardiff would work. I`d pay good money to see even a near retirement Hopkins but then again I paid to see Calzaghe /Manfredy :yep but that was 30 odd thousand crowd..........

    Bellew would stop hopkins. He's young, carries more power than pascal who put hopkins down twice and would read hopkins' style easily

    Tony's got the right idea...Shumenov. The guy is a weak link.

    Listen lads it's clear tony knows his limitations. He knows he aint the finished article, he just believes nathan is overrated and believes he can beat him.

    Aint no one knocking out old man river. The fool gonna be upsetting youngstes until he's 50
