    So would I, but no doubt I'd feel violated and ashamed afterwards.

    look what happened to Adamek when he added 30+ lbs to his natural frame

    B-hop is a natural SMW/LHW, imagine him add another 20-30 lbs to his 48 year old body

    When will you biased ****s cut your crap already.
    WK was offered a fight vs Holyfield but turned it down out of respect to the old man's achievements.
    There is no reason to suggest that Wlad is deliberately hunting old past prime guys for their names.

    Hopkins is featherfisted at LIGHT heavyweight.

    He wouldnt be able to put a dent in Wlad.

    You know how they say you can "never say never", "anything can happen" ans "there's always a chance"?

    Well - never, it can't happen and there's no ****ing chance in the world. At all. Ever.

    What the **** are you smoking? Ward would do better as a HW but even he couldn't beat Wlad and I doubt he will ever fight above LHW

    Wasn't this supposed to be a boxing forum?
    You can find more serious threads in Dysney's forum......
    A light-heavyweight would be in serious troubles even against the top 5 cruiserweights, and would simply have no hopes against any top 10 heavyweight.

    Floyd would have ten times as much chance of beating BHop, as BHop would having of beating Wlad.





    Note for non-mathematicians: 10 x 0 = 0

    His only chance of beating Wlad would be after he throws his Jab and he leads with his head to clinch like he always does and he headbutts Wlad and the referee rules the cut by a punch and not a headbutt.

    Otherwise he would most likely get KOed by a Jab.

    I doubt that. he has no chance of winning but I believe he would take some punishment before he goes down it wouldn't be good for his health and he would most likely end up in hospital but his defence and his chin are good enough to survive at least a little bit befor ehe gets knocked out

    he could bulk up somewhat to face another heavyweight titlist ie Povetkin,
