    imo Hopkins will beat Adamek like he did Tito, Tarver and Pavlik but what do you think?

    This fight is starting to make more sense when I think about it. BHOP has a good chance at being a 3 weight world champ.

    Adamak is a bit of a rythym breaker but gets hit easy....B-Hop should be able to outbox him but the extra 10-15 lbs may slow B-Hop down and give Adamek the power edge. It Depends who fits into the weight better and the effect of that on B-Hop but skillwise it should be an easy fight for Bernard

    Exactly I don't see another way this could unfold.
    It took half the fight for Adamek to finally find his rhythm,way too jerky early on,he would never find it against Hop he'd be waitin all night

    I think Hopkins speed and movement will be the deciding factor. Hopkins UD.

    sure Hopkins messes a fighter's rhythm, has the experience. But Adamek proved he can beat a master boxer in Cunningham.

    But no wonder Adamek started slow v Banks, Banks had size and reach on him, had early power, had a superb left hand. That takes some getting through.

    I hope it doesn't happen as Hopkins will spoil, making Adamek look bad whether he wins or loses. I want to see Adamek in exciting fights; not vs a man that wil hold and run. HBO don't have to accept Adamek v Hopkins. They could call for Hopkins-Dawson.

    If Hopkins puts on 15 pounds and carries on as he gets older, something will give. He could end up getting injured, he could fall apart during a fight itself, anything could happen.

    I don't think this fight would be that boring due to Adameks style he is a come forward pressure fighter
    But yes you are right I would much rather see Hopkins Dawson,that fight seems more intriguing

    Adamek comes forward but does not throw many punches!!! BHOP will not get tired in this fight. He will counter everything Adamek throws and will occasionally be the aggressor, since Adamek does not fight well backwards.

    Hopkins could walk in the ring at 175 and still walk away with a convincing UD. Hopkins is just way too slippery for Adamek, who doesn't pull the trigger enough when someone's showing a lot of movement.

    Hopkins will win in a sloppy one which will retire him.

    Hopkins isnt in his 20s or even 30s anymore. He is comming up on his mid-40s. I don't think he would take the weight well.

    I think Adamek would take this one.
