Seriously: Did Haye also duck Hopkins?

Has Haye turned down Hopkins?

Maybe the better question is whether this would be a better fight than Haye-Harrison.

 

That is a good question. Harrison is so bad...yet Hop is so old and not a heavy. I still kinda edge Bhop believe it or not.

Neither are very good options IMO. I dotn think Haye is ducking Hop though. I just thinks Hop is not worth his time.

 

Before Hopkins vs Jones 2, I was able to envision Hopkins defeating Haye. Hopkins is one slippery slick master...but after seeing Hopkins vs Jones 2, it's obvious that he does not have enough in the gas tank to compete at the top level at his own weight, much less against a larger, faster, power punching, younger man. Taking on Hopkins is a lose lose situation, not only for Haye, but for anybody. If you win, so what you beat a grandpa, if you lose...damn you lost to a grandpa!

 

When did Hopkins offer him a fight? No ****ing links, no facts, typical ESB member.

**** off.

 

You left off the "no, he didn't" option. Did he duck Klitschko? I'd have no problem saying yes, but the Hopkins fight was never real.

 

i think audley harrison would beat hopkins.

 

I mean we didnt see a contract but Bhop said on the FnF telecast that he is looking for a fight with Haye and Booth said they were talking to goldenboy.

Safe to say it was being discussed, how seriously on haye's side I dont know. But, I believe Bhop was deadly serious.

 

I think Haye has a certain number of fights left inside his head...
Something tells me B-Hop ain't part of it.

 

Who said free porn!!?

 

What would be more embarrassing for Haye? Losing to Bhop or losing to Audley..

I think Audley

 

Haye was right not to take B-Hop seriously.

Hopkins wanted to fight anyone from LHW to HW... or at least he says so. The problem is that anyone who believed him (like Adamek when he was in CW) eventually found it was impossible to get the fight done.

 

Haye only fights crappy fighters.

 

As much as I hate Haye, this covers it.

 

Haye, in my opinion, is not a particularly ambitious fighter. At least not anymore. As soon as he got that plume deal with Skybox for his pay per view and the WBA belt, he became a part time regional fighter. He has little to no interest of being an international superstar, which he certainly could have been if he had beaten Wlad on HBO last year. Hopkins is the even better deal. He'd get expure to the American market with a minimum of risk and he'd make a killing. Still, he doesn't want it.
