    An attention seeker like Hopkins should consider this fight.

    I think that it's a lot more possible than Hopkins v.s. Floyd Jr. at 160.

    What you think?

    Hop would abuse him I think. I would be fun, though.

    GGG will cry like a ***** and get raped

    Bhop knows all the old school tricks

    And beat the living Shri out of him on the inside

    GGG has zero chance and will get badly exposed by the vet

    If 3G moves up to 168 I think Hops has a better chance. If Hop moves down to 160 I feel 3G will be too strong for the old man. This would be a very interesting fight and I agree , more interesting than a Mayweather-Hop fight.

    Did you watch the movie "The Walking Dead"?Hopkins will look like those zombies if he's going down to 160.
    I'll tell you what. Hopkins is calling out Floyd to fight him at 160 is abslutely crazy!

    Hell, Dawson beat Hopkins!

    Kovalev was Hopkins' mandatory and he earned it, but Hopkins refused to fight him. Kovalev had to go into Cleverly's home town and knock him out to get a title. Hopkins has admitted that he will never fight Kovalev or Stevenson. Well...........I surely understand that, Hopkins would get knocked out!

    Hopkins said he could easily make 160 to fight Mayweather, so that means he could get down to 160 for Golovkin. At that weight Golovkin would probably knock him out. Remember, Hopkins is running from Kovalev and Stevenson. Hopkins lost to Dawson and Stevenson knocked Dawson out, so that scared Hopkins. Murat did not deserve a title shot...........

    If the Alien starts calling him out, then yeah. I'd buy it.

    Well I'm sure more people would be interested than watching Hopkins v Murat nonporn (if that is your real name)

    Hopkins vs. Golovkin at 168 is interesting.

    Both guys fighting at a weight they've never fought at before. Hmm.

    Never really thought about this one before. I guess I'd pick Hopkins but I wouldn't make him a big favorite at all.

    Delusional Hopkins fans think that even at his age he 's unbeatable because he defeated mighty Tavoris Cloud and Karo Murat.

    Shane......er........ Cletis...... I don't think I've seen anyone, Hopkins fans or otherwise, say he is unbeatable. I think they think he is too crafty for certain types of fighters, and about that they are right. But he is eminently beatable at his advanced age, and needs to choose carefully.

    I have, not "unbeatbale", but that he would beat anyone at 175 because he's so tricky and he would find a way to win. Well, he didn't against Dawson and he won't get any younger and fresher.
    I agree with the rest.
