    Go back and watch on Friday night fights all the guys he says he is going to fight. Adamak is one I can think of of the top of my head. In the end he claims to have made an offer that Adamak's camp knew nothing about and said they would accept. Still didn't happen did it? Bernard has gone all promoter on us and is about as reliable as any other promoter when talking about this ****.

    Well, he lowballed Adamek. But Adamek is not a GBP fighter. Ruiz and Haye both are and Hopkins being pretty much buddies with De La Hoya and Schaefer, he can get a fight made if he wants.

    Haye by KO. If Haye was some slow lumbering HW and featherfisted I would consider BHop having a chance. Not the way Haye is though.

    After both their performances, i can't imagine Hopkins wanting to take on Haye. I think he was secretly hoping that Ruiz would win.

    BHop is a great fighter. Even today, he's a great fighter. If he wants to challenge himself, he should fight Dawson, even though most people are like, "who is Dawson?"

    But Haye, I think is step too far.

    He's not, at least from a counterpuncher's perspective, BUT...

    He is more multi dimensional, will take more risks, and is a lot more dangerous in the sense that he will try to knock Hopkins out.

    The same can't be said for Dawson.
