Which of these fights would add the most to Hopkins legacy?

**** Hopkins vs Jones! Hopkins vs Adamek or Dawson. Kessler is a *****.

 

People generally seem to hold multiple divisional champions in high regard when looking back at the said fighter's legacy. Therefore, Adamek @ 200 would makes sense.

Although if he fought and beat Kessler or Dawson and they went on to dominate
......but that's just confusing things I guess.

 

knocking out dawson may put bhop in LW top 15 all-time...a feat that only he and fitzsimmons would share

 

Close but i would say Dawson because i think he's going to do great things in his career.

 

Kessler definitly. hes a big name and put up a better fight against the man who beat hopkins despite his hugging and holding methods. No disrespect to Adamek tho, i saw his fight against banks and thought **** me this guy can fight. but as for chad dawson i think its a terrible clash of styles.

Kessler - Current WBA and former WBA/WBC supermiddle champ who fought for the WBO supermiddle but lost to Joe Calzaghe. Kessler had one of the best uppercuts ive seen and is fast and agile

Tomasz Adamek - Good fighter with great KO power who beat Banks (undefeated)

Chad Dawson - The kelly pavlik of the LH division. Young, fast and holds two of the major belts but argubally lost to glen johnson.

 

Kessler and Dawson are better fighters than Adamek but a Cruiserweight title will look very nice on the record.

Hopkins should be calling out Valuev, thats an easy fight for him!

 

New lineage started when Adamek beat Cunningham, Tomasz Adamek is the universally recognized Lineal Cruiserweight Champion and would be a great Legacy enhancing fight for Hopkins as the Lineage will transfer to Bernard if he wins.

:good

Beats having paper Champions claiming to be no 1. Adamek is the man at Cruiserweight.

 

just cause the Ring is more credible than paper champions does not mean that they can establish who needs to fight who in order to be lineal champion. Once the lineal championship is vacated the only way to re-establish it is by becoming undisputed champ. Therefore Adamek is not Lineal champ

He may be the man, but then again Mosley is the man at 147 is he the lineal champ? No.

 

Actually in a historic sense, the only way to re-establish lineage is to capture the WBC and WBA titles.

 

I'll say Adamek..I mean that would give him titles in 3 weight classes...I wouldn't mind him coming down to 168 either!!

 

In this order
1.Dawson
2.Adamek
3.Kessler

 

Beating Adamek for his cruiserweight Titles is more of an acoomplishments rather than the other two options!...:yep

 

Any one of them would add greatly to his legacy, though I believe they are all beyond his current reach.

Of the three, Kessler would be the most possible, then Dawson and then Adamek.

 

Mayweather was the last Lineal Welterweight champion which he won from Baldomir.
Cotto vs Mosley 2 would establish a new lineage wouldn't it.
