    I rather see this fight over all the over potential Ward opponents. Ward should definitely call out Hopkins. He has to realize that he needs to do that to get PPV bouts and him vs. B-Hop is a PPV type fight. It certainly a fight that would have HOF repercussions for Ward. I think he would beat him and what probably be one of the most tactical fights of the last few years.

    Unless Ward agree's to fight on the network that built him (Showtime) this is a pipe dream.

    If Hopkins didnt lose to Dawson I wouldnt mind seeing this but we already seen Hopkins can be outboxed, Ward would win a wide UD

    That was right before the GB TR brand split with Showtime and HBO, I think BHOP was more so trolling HBO and Ward, who they brought their to grandstand and slight BHOP knowing a GB move to showtime was imminent, taking the steam out their sail completely, halting Wards career and momentum for nearly a year

    Everyone seems to think Ward walks over Bhop, you aint beating BHOP fighting his style, Ward then will have to play it tactical and he doesnt have surperhuman power or speed to worry BHOP that much

    I see BHOP winning a ugly match

    I thought b hop boxed his best fight for ages in his last bout , prob be a messy fight but not an easy fight for either,depends who refs it, ref in the last b hop fight was all over him, cuddles, arm round him, so my call is ..a bore draw.

    Ward is being respectful to the old man. Hops made it clear he wants no part of Ward and rightfully so. Ward could've gone the arsehole route and try to secure a fight but that's not him.

    Nice to see Ward being so respectful. Also nice to see a young fighter not trying to make his name by beating old champions who are past their best.

    Fight won't happen but if it did Ward would have to be the clear favourite. Hopkins is still savvy enough to give Ward a few problems but not enough to win.
