    I would like to se him against either Kessler, Adamek or Dawson! dont really care who, i think all 3 would beat him.. it wont be a easy or pretty fight, but they all have the tools to beat the old guy! and it would be a good skalp on their resume!

    Boricua. I suggest you look up sarcasm.

    On topic, I don't know, it seems now finally at the age of 44 he's running out of viable options. Possibly Taylor if he beats Froch, which I dont expect, possibly Dawson, Adamek doesn't look like it will happen.

    Someone needs to recognize humor when he sees it.

    boricua, this is humor. Humor, a poster named boricua. Get aquainted. I, for one, like humor. Good guy.

    If Taylor beats Froch I'd love to see Hops go to 168 not only to get his title in a 3rd weight class but to get justice for the bogus decisions.

    I've just got a feeling Hatton will win. I just hope that when Ricky wins the P4P title that Hopkins mans up, makes 154lbs and challenges Hatton instead of staying at 175 and shamelessly ducking him.

    If Hopkins wants, The Dawson fight is pretty much sitting there. That said he's expressed NO interest in it as of this point and seems to be wary of taking it.

    Hopkins vs Kessler is possible but Mikkel seems to be disinterested in that.

    Hatton said himself he doesnt feel confortable in 147, and you want him to fight at 154. you are a really smart guy

    That'd be interesting! Good thought. Not sure if Taylor would be too interested but I'm sure HBO would like the idea.

    Last time i heard about a possible Kess vs Hopkins fight, it was Hopkins who wasn`t interested! But ofcourse the media in two countrys not always give the same version;)

    Well maybe I should've specified. I'm sure Kessler would love the fight. Palle doesn't though...there are bigger things going on.

    Like Gusmyl Perdomo.

    Thats the beauty of the lineal P4P title, Hatton could fight at a catchweight of around 143 and Hopkins could come in at 154.

    P4P lineal champ, passed from Pac to Hatton to the winner of Hopkins-Hatton. How could Hopkins duck such a fight?
