    Let's say that Hopkins gains revenge over Jones as expected, and negotiations between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather continue to stall.

    Pacquiao - Hopkins could happen.

    It makes sense for both guys.

    Who would win?

    Hopkins told Floyd after Oscar beat him that he would fight him at 154.

    B Hop knocks Pac Man out late.

    I don't know what's so funny here. Funny how many people would be shocked to see the beating Manny would give B-Hop, maybe?

    Why? Hopkins too big? They said that about De La Hoya and look what Manny did to him.

    This is the fight that will finally make BHop look old.

    De La Hoya has a completely different style than B Hop.

    B Hop also thrives on southpaws, and especially guys that come foward.

    Pac MAY have some moments do to his speed and his size, but Hopkins would systematically break him down and knock him out.

    But WTF?

    We talkin about a 142 Pac vs a 175 B Hop?

    Idiot. Hopkins has fought at Light-Heavyweight. He would literally break WaPakMan in two. There is a size difference and then there is a SIZE difference. Hopkins wins each and every day of the week with matinees on Thursdays and Saturdays!

    Oscar was competitive with BHop back in 2004. Why not Manny in 2010?

    Obviously Hopkins has an unreasonable size advantage, but Manny has unreasonable advantages in age and speed.

    It is the ultimate challenge for Pacquiao before retiring.

    BHop at 160.
