    Kessler has the best chance. And I would say Abraham is no. 2. Taylor is no. 3. Neither of them have more than 20% chance of doing so.

    Froch and Dawson could, but it is not at all likely given Hopkins good defense.

    Abraham has a chance on paper if he lands flush and if BHOP doesnt see the punch coming....but thats impossible

    Kessler has a good chance.

    Adamek is a cruiser now.

    I can't think of anyone else.

    I thought you said UP to 175?

    Adamek has been fighting at cruiserweight for a while now, actually hes the man in the division...

    Where have you been? :lol:

    And scince when is Pacman Korean? :D

    NO ONE will EVER KO Hopkins, beat him on points yes, KO him NO

    The guy is made on steel - And I hate Hopkins but the guy is solid

    Why is anyone even mentioning names? No one has any chance. Zero. Bernard could fight till he is 50 yrs old and not get KO'd. Who could even land flush shots on him? I can't even believe this is a question. I'm sure there are some out there that wish Bernard would get KO'd into retirement but that will never happen.

    Kessler has no chance.

    Adamek in his prime weight of 175...very small puncher's chance.

    Basically, it can't be done today.

    The last Lightheavyweight I can think of who even had a chance was Dariusz Michalczewski. Before that....Bob Foster? MM maybe?
