****, he was probably like 193 lbs when he fought Calzaghe on fight night. But then again, he couldn't fight very much. Lotta spoiling, lotta holding.. lotta being Borenard.

Like i said, he won't be able to fight 3 minutes for every round...could you imagine how that fight might have turned out if Calzaghe was a big puncher like Adamek?

Yeah that makes total sense considering Adamek would never have had the speed to throw that many punches, let alone connect with them. Comparing the two is way off base but ****, you already proved you know nothing about boxing.

I think Pacquaio should move up to 160 and fight Arthur Abraham, I bet it would be really competitive.

After The Executioner disposes of Adamek for the CW title, he should move up once again to take another title. Yep, the heavy weight title and I'm not talking about fighting paper champ Valueless for the WBA.

B-hop should make Wladimir his target for one last battle. Of course the cynics will dismiss this notion immediately because Wladimir "is too big". You may not realize it, but Bernard can use this to his advantage, not a disadvantage.

Case-in-point: Remember the Wlad/Ibragimov fight in NY that probably put most of us to sleep as Wladimir was content to jab his opponent to death when the fight should have never went the distance? After the fight, Wlad's trainer Emmanuel Steward was asked why Wlad did not KO Ibragimov. Wlad told him that he did not want to lean over to the degree he needed to hit Ibragimov with solid shots, meaning the right hand. He did not want to take the risk of getting caught on his shaky chin by his much shorter opponent.

So could Wladimir get away with the same strategy against Bernard Hopkins? No, it would not work. Bernard who we all know is a defensive master, is most effective at eliminating his opponents best offensive weapon. Wladimir would rely on the jab, and Bernard would see it coming a mile away, then utilize his superior speed to pot shot Wlad with his expert counter-punching for 12 rounds and a UD.

Wladimir has not gassed-out for awhile, like in previous fights where he got either KO'd or knocked down, but he might be in danger of this because he will be facing a more elusive opponent than he has ever fought. He usually gets to fight at his pace and uses a lot of clinching. Bernard would be too quick for Wlad to try his usual clinching tactics.

Wladimir would need to be more aggressive, rather than fight scared like usual, but he won't do it. It's mental with him. He is too worried about getting stopped again, even against a smaller opponent. With added muscle, a 200 pound or so B-hop could do the job.

Wlad would be like a deer frozen in the head-lights trying to figure out the crafty old veteran. He already thinks too much rather than just fighting at times like he should against his usual sub-par competition. He'd be completely lost in the ring. Bernard only fights better when the odds are against him. Don't count out the man's determination.:smoke

Let the Klitite dissaproval and objection begin. I am 100% serious.

Adamek UD Hopkins
Klitschko KO3 Hopkins

next? Hopkins vs. Fedor? Hopkins vs. a hum-V?

marciano1952 · Mar 19, 2009

this Threadis Idiotic...Wlad Wouldnt even need to land Clean to Hurt hopkins..Wlad is To Big and to Good Of a Boxer to get beat by Hopkins....

itrymariti · Mar 19, 2009

I think Ivan Calderon should step up to take on Wlad. Nay; he should fight both Vitali and Wlad in one fight. I predict a brutal first round KO by Calderon. He could use their size to his advantage.
