    Toney & RJJ beating Ruiz doesn't mean Bhop would beat him. Not at all

    Ruiz is the most beatable guy at heavyweight, but Hopkins didn't have the speed of Jones to win the rounds . nor the size of Toney. I think it would go 12, but I don't think he would have won.

    I think he COULD beat Ruiz, but would have to be at his slick and cute best to do so.

    When he called out Haye, did Haye ever respond?

    No! Bhop's old school spoiler style would not work on a man of Ruiz' size.

    Haye would belt Hopkins badly.

    Could Hopkins have won a title at SMW?

    Wow , Very good question .

    I think it would have been a somewhat competitive boring fight That Ruiz would have won and Bernard would have screamed out ROBBERY for everyone to hear .
