    Bhop is much better than Roy at this stage... He has adapted to the age very well and unlike Roy has learnt to work within his limitations. He doesn't throw alot of punches, but lands clean the ones he does. He frustrates fighters with his rough housing tactics which plays into his hands. His defense is great and his chin is an ATG one. Danny will need to outsmart the old **** to win but I don't see it happening.

    Hopkins is the #1 ranked LHW Dawson #2 whether you agree with it or not.Dawson is chasing Hopkins too.more money in Hopkins fight than Dawson.

    Hopkins via a very frustrating UD.

    Just too much trickery for Green I feel, and Hopkins is still fighting at a very good level.

    If Green were to win, it'd be twice the victory his win over Jones was.

    Hopkins will be the favorite, but Green could surprise everyone like he did vs. Jones.

    Hopkins' stripped-back, basic style, his game of inches, will frustrate Danny Green. Hopkins will plod forward, maul, slip and bruise him up over the 12 rounds. The early going might belong to Green due to workrate, but Beyer and Mundine proved that have your your wits about you, Greenie can be figured out. I see Hopkins jolting Green's head a few times off the back of short & sharp inside exchanges, with Danny landing with nary more than some decent body-blows and grazing right hands over the course of the fight. UD Hopkins.

    I can see Hopkins winning via a wide UD decision, although I would be rooting for Green.
    green<Mundine<Kessler< (Calzaghe = Hopkins Split Decision)

    Mundine should have fought Pav already. Green vs Bhop.. great fight. Should be a war.

    BHop points - probably wide.

    But hey, that's what I said about RJJ!

    ...go Green!

    Calzaghe sure took care of Hopkins, so did Taylor. Jones beat him early in the careeer. Green has a chance, but I still have to give the edge to Hopkins.
