Which of these fights would add the most to Hopkins legacy?

how is he lineal? Haye was lineal, then he moved up in weight.

Guillermo Jones was already WBA champ before Adamek fought Cunningham. And Jones beat the champ Arslan to win that title, it wasn't a vacant strap that he just picked up.

Adamek is not lineal imho

 

Legacy wise, beating Adamek would be more significant.

 

Adamek was #2, Cuningham was #1.

 

According to ring magazine.

 

Beating Adamek is the best accomplishment. Adamek is the official champ at CW. Dawson beat Adamek, but look what Adamek has to offer. It looks better on paper.

 

Exactly.

Even if he beats Adamek and people try to claim he was also overrated, they will still have to take notice that he did it at a higher weight class.

 

Exactly. And he would be beating the best CW & gaining a belt.

 

Beating Kessler would catch the most heat. Everyone would say he's just doing CalZ's dirty work by beating Kessler, just how he handled Pavlik for CalZ. And then we'll also hear the "he fought a smaller man" $hit.

 

but seriously Kessler just might be his toughest fight. Dawson is a southpaw and Hopkins eats southpaws up. Adamek is slow, another big problem against Hopkins. Kessler fights alot like Taylor but with better stamina and better focus.

 

three-division champ sounds tasty.

 

But the question was which fight adds more to his legacy?
Lets say after Hokins fights Kessler, all 3 Adamek, Dawson & Kessler retire.
Ppl will say out of those 3, Hopkins fought the weakest fighter.

 

yea i agree most people will say that

 

Adamek for Legacy or Dawson for the fans!

 

Hopkins deserves a rematch with Jones first, they he should fight Dawson, but Dawson needs to give Johnson a rematch. Johnson had him out on his feet,so Dawson is still running.

 

Dawson is the toughest fight but Adamek enhances his legacy the most. Something about beating a multiple weight champ who is consenus #1 at Crusierweight when you are the former middleweight champion for 10 years sounds awfully nice.
