    just heard on the boxing hour that schafer is planning to put hopkins up against haye should he beat the klitchkos several times. i think this is ridiculous, what do you guys think about this?

    I think the chances that Haye beating both Klitschokos are very slim.Even if he does that Hopkins will be like 45-46.
    This fight ain't happening anywhere else than Schaefer's sick perverted head.

    Might be ridiculous but won't be surprised if they do make it and I'll give Hopkins a very good chance to win depending on how Haye performs should he beat Wladimir. Haye's stamina is poor and with Hopkins' defense I'm sure he can take him to late rounds.

    Schaefer said it's a bigger fight than Hopkins-Dawson. There's an article on the scene.

    Hopkins has recently backed down from fighting Adamek so he sure as hell won't want to fight Haye

    He never backed out from fighting Adamek, he was the one that called Adamek out but Adamek didn't like the amount of money they offered him. Have to blame Adamek on that one since a win over Adamek for Hopkins won't be popular enough but for Adamek it would give him the popularity boost he needs and an opportunity to start making serious money if he wins, Adamek just refused to gamble.

    why doesn't he just fight a klitschko if he's so concerned about money

    probably the biggest fight out there for him, and Vitali doesnt even have a fight scheduled.

    Jeez, BHop isn't the most exciting fighter to watch these days at 175 so God knows what he'd be like with an added 40lbs on him against Haye.

    I was thinking if he does try for a HW title he might go after Chagaev if he wins.
