    Bernard hopkins has discussed moving up to Heavyweight.If adamek can squeze out a descision against klitschko,I think hopkins could win a fight agaisnt adamek and be champion.And then the logical fight is Wladimir klitscko vs hopkins.This would be a very suspenseful fight,since you have no idea how hopkins can take wlad's punch.

    Hopkins would get absolutely destroyed.

    Still, I'd love to see him humiliated by another "white boy".

    Wlad would be about 50-60 lbs bigger, about 6 inches taller, stronger, faster, he hits about 200 times harder, and he has the superior reach.

    Other than that, Hops is golden.

    I would love for this fight to happen. I would especially hope that Bhop acts as racist as possible (i.e. like himself) beforehand.

    Hopkins is a very savvy fighter and there is no way he is silly enough to go up to heavyweight.

    Hopkins deserves to retire with dignity, and with most of his brain cells intact.

    Let's hope this is just a bad rumor.

    If this fight went on, people would be calling for a ban to boxing. The destruction for B-Hop would be worse than the one Ali took against Holmes
