    After the Murray fight? Ok, cool...

    BHop, 10-2 type decision.

    Good fight.... Never know with Hopkins, at his age he can completely fall off at any time.

    If BHop has anything left he schools AA, he has the perfect style to make Hopkins look good. AA doesn't throw a lot, is not particularly fast or has an exceptional jab and doesn't have the foot work to cope with Hopkins movement.

    There's a major drop off in being shot enough for Kovalev to soundly outbox you and being shot enough to lose to Abraham, when there's as much advantage in class AND styles as Hopkins fundamentally has in this match-up.

    It's a perfect match for Hopkins to leave on a good note.

    Abraham wouldn't last 3 rounds with Kovalev, an yes I'm well aware of how good AA's chin is so nobody argue with me.:D

    I think B-Hop would beat Abraham if he was 100 years old never mind 50.

    One of the best fights that can be made. Abraham is such a multi-faceted fighter. He shows you so many looks. He can counter-punch, he can slug, inside, outside, upside down, inside out, boy your turn me, inside out, he can pull up a mirror and show you something you never thought possible. Possiblé.
