Since GGG's team has expressed a willingness to face 51 year old Bernard Hopkins...

...what weight will GGG agree to?

Surely he'd at least be willing to venture up to 175? 172 perhaps? Surely 170?

Or would he attempt to drain Hopkins down closer towards 164?

Choose the closest option that applies.

Surely he could give the old man an extra 2 pounds and make it 170?

 

Per team GGG:

"He’s (Bernard's) a legend. It would be a huge name for him. He’s physically much bigger than Gennady. Bernard has never been stopped in his career. Gennady has a long knockout streak, so you’d have two forces coming together and that’s a very interesting fight."

Yes. That was his weight for his bouts with Winky and Pavlik.

 

He would absolutely 100% be Golovkin's top win, and the closer the fight gets to 175, the more I like Hopkins' chances.

I know I'm in the small minority here, but at 168-172 I like Hopkins (assuming he's close to form from Kovalev).

Golovkin doesn't possess the same style or characteristics or power that Kovalev had which most troubled Hopkins.

Most of this stems from, I believe, the collective delusion that Gennady is somehow more talented and powerful than Kovalev. He is neither.

I didn't say those things. That was from Golovkin's team last week.
