    13.5% say Hopkins.

    I'm surprised that figure isn't higher.

    exhibit: a. James Toney, b. Roy Jones.

    Toney beat Holyfield. Jones beat Ruiz.

    it's not as if this is unprecedented.


    Hopkins is unlikely to KO Wlad of course. but he is a technical boxer capable of winning rounds. and if he wins enough rounds... :think

    He has 1 in a 1,000 chance of winning. That's the odds of Wladimir sustaining an injury in the first couple rounds to his ankle or something and rewarding Hopkins a TKO victory.

    No, christ sake, But b-hop vs Haye would be interesting. I would favour Haye over hopkins slightly. Chances of Haye winning is 55-52 for him

    Hopkins could probably take a decent punch or two from Wlad given his excellent chin but you just know Ward would get flattened by the first thing he got touched with.

    No way hosay.


    B-Hop is good but his style means he needs to be a similar size to his opponents. Wlad would not let him near. Would be picked off with jabs and right crosses.


    B-Hop is still a great fighter, but wouldnt stand a chance.
