    I would say yes i am interested. Lets face it Mayweather is all ways boring so this would be no exception.

    I would like to see really technical and tactical fight between them. Most likely they would in some rounds just trow like 15 punches a round combined! :lol: But i like when two masters go at it and you see true skills.

    In the end Floyd would never take that fight he nows Bernard is strong mentally is bigger and also is 48 and even if he dominated him people would say it was 48 years old drained hopkins who had not fought in 160 for almost 10 years.

    Huge risk so Floyd won't take this fight. And Hopkins is kinda biatch to call out floyd should fight stevenson or Kovalev!

    hopkins calling out Money...
    Man, sign of an aging person..

    hopkins going down at 160 will be looking like Dhalsim of Street Fighter

    Pathetic ! Since when do light heavy weights call out welters ? Hopkins is stooping to a newer low !!

    You can't tell Canelo that Mayweather throws 15 punches a round. He will call you a liar.:lol:

    Is there a rule stating Floyd has to be within a certain limit of 160 pounds. I.E. could he weigh 152 (or there about) for a 160 pound match with B-Hop. Of course B-Hop could legit be 20 pounds plus heavier that Floyd on fight night given what B-Hop would rehydrate to and if Floyd is even a legit 152.

    No, he could come in at any weight as long as he's at or under the weight limit.

    I'm amazed that 64 people responded "yes" to this poll.

    Mayweather doesn't have to weigh in at 160 to fight at MW. I think anything above 154 and below 160 is acceptable weight for that division. So mayweather could come in weighing 154 and 1/1,000,000 of an ounce and he's good to go.

    Hopkins refused to fight Kovalev who was his mandatory, so Kovalev went into Cleverly's home town and knocked out for the WBO title. Hopkins also refuses to fight Stevenson!

    The only noteworthy aspect of a fight between Hopkins and Mayweather is that it will be the first time mayweather fights someone who matches (maybe even surpasses him) in terms of ring IQ. Other than that, Mayweather has way more fast twitch muscle than Hopkins does at this stage in their respective careers. Mayweather would not bite on a single Hopkins feint.

    Hell, I would not be surprised if Mayweather won. However, which fighter would Oscar de la, Hoya support? You know, picking the judges and referee?

    Of course he could. He has a biggger body frame than Hatton, who had weighed 180+ during his 140 lbs days.
