Bernard Hopkins could defeat Wladimir and this is why!

ESB needs a resident clown at all times.

Someone here is currently head and shoulders above the rest.

 

My god.
Even if I really believed this to be the truth common sense dictates that I keep this to myself.

Wlad by brutal ko after the words 'FINISH HIM' appear above his head.

Enough is enough. Even though I can partially agree with Klitchko haters on some subjects this one is taking the ****. It must be a windup.

 

I love B-Hop, but even if he had younger legs I can't see him winning this one. With his generalship and cagey veteran wiles I could envision him lasting the distance in this, but that is the best I could hope for. If Wlad caught him, he would become the first to KO Hop's...but the picture I see is a 120-108 shut-out, as B-Hop does just enough to survive, but is no threat to him at any point. I would love to be wrong, but doubt it...Fortunately I don't think this fight will ever happen!

 

There is no way he beats Chagaev...as far as Valuev, who on earth would want to see this fight. You have the two most boring fighters to watch in the same ring.

After the pavlik victory, it seems that all of B-hops fans have forgotten what stinkers his fights turn out to be.

B-hop is a very skilled fighter, but his window has closed on him. He will only look good against one dimensional fighters who are too slow to catch him. Against any fighter who has the ability to adapt in the ring, he will simply perform the "John Ruiz" hug-a-thon. He will turn a potentially great match-up in the snoozer of the year!!

 

I know there are people who say certain styles are boring, but I love boxing and two technical boxers (Which Valuev is not!) can put on a scientific display that entertains me nearly as much as a slugfest..I feel bad for those who call themselves boxing fans but don't really like it...they like slugfests regardless of skill...part time fans at best!!!!

I am not sure if he could win either one of them as well. He would be smart enough to know if he got caught by either one he could be done. I see him being overly cautios especially early on as he seeks to find a comfort zone. His chances IMO would be best against Valuev, but I don't see him posing a threat to him physically. He would stay just busy enough to win or lose a close decision...Skillwise he is much better than either, but his natural size disadvantages are not benifical to him in either case.

 

Very good post!!:good

It's nice to see rational fight fans chime in once in a while.

 

no he wouldnt,he'd beat valuev,maskaev,holyfield etc....,but not wlad

 

Wlad is to much for BHOP...I mean hes 6 foot 7 245....Bhop would be 6 foot 1 195

 

Before the Pavlik fight, when was the last time he put his skills on display? I'll tell you...the Howard Eastman fight.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for B-hop and he is one of the greatest middleweight fighters of all time.

But, he simply chooses not put his skills on display any longer...he simply fights the safe fight against tough opponents.

If you can't see that, then you are the dillusional one!!

 

This fight will happen.

Hops will pot shot the robot, land one or two extra punches a round and nic the fight.

You will all bow down to Jeff M in the end! :yep
