Bhops has been boring crowds for years and no one will buy such a fight. I would not even bother watching it if ITV showed it for free. Bhops just runs around the ring like a big girls blouse or does his play acting. He is just big gaylord after big paydays.
Hopkins' experience and ringcraft are great and all, but he would be giving away too much physically and athletically in this one to make it a viable fight to win. Bernard has gotta be working some kinda angle on this one. He's a smart guy and I can't believe he is genuinely looking to get himself involved in a match-up where he has very little chance of winning - not his style. There is no comparison with the Jones Jr - Ruiz fight here.
It could actually be a tricky fight for Haye. But Haye has nothing to gain from it...whereas Hopkins would gain alot if he won. Beating Haye for the WBA title would be more impressive than what Jones did to Ruiz back in 2003. It wont happen as imsure Haye and Booth know its a lose lose situation.
I cant see Haye getting any credit whatsoever for beating Hopkins who looked so short of ideas last night, fighting someone who didn't throw back at all. All he wants Haye for is so he can have a chance of doing/bettering what Jones did in winning a Heavyweight crown. I think the man is just focused on trying to better Roy Jones career and he still doesn't feel he gets the accolades he deserves because of Jones.
Hopkins is a better fighter than Haye. End of story, Hayes a one trick pony..... Throw big hooks..... HE ain't got no technical skills... The only reason he'd beat Hopkins is coz hes younger and fresher... Hopkins in his prime would embarrass any Haye...
Haye has nothing to gain by fighting Hopkins apart from getting his name out there in America. What will we have gained by knocking out a 45 year old beefed up middleweight? Training for 12 weeks, all that sparring and punishment just to fight Hopkins. It's a ridiculous idea. If the fight did happen I'm telling you Hopkins will get hurt. Haye will land that right hand and when he does it will be lights out.
Nonito Donaire is a better boxer than both of them...what are your odds on a Flash victory??....****wit :-(
B-Hop is 45 years old and has serious stamina issues. He'd be giving up 2 inches in height, 3 inches in reach, 30lbs in weight and he'd be going in against a big punching HW Champ, in his prime.
