    Ok this is a winnable fight for Bhop. (Vitali wasn't, I was just having some fun).

    Though it really depends on how badly conditioned Povetkin is for the fight.

    Hopkins punches won't damage a heavyweight, he can't clinch because of a heavyweight's strength, and if he gets caught with a power punch (likely to happen over 12 rounds) its over for Hopkins.

    Povetkin if he shows up fat has less stamina than Bhop also Povetkin is not known for his power.

    Hops would try to make this ugly with his typical grabbing, hugging and clinching **** style. He'd still get knocked the **** out.

    You say this but it's ****ing anoying when I want to play as Hopkins on Fight Night and he is classed as a heavyweight, cue being smacked all over the ring by Tyson for all of one round.

    I like Hopkins, but he'd get handled.

    Povetkin would run over Hopkins. I know Povetkin is at a low in popularity right now but even with that he beats up and stops Hopkins.

    Hopkins could probably move up to heavyweight and beat Kimbo Slice :lol:

    Of course, he'd probably spark him as well. Kimbo is a joke.

    Povetkin is a bit of a risk even though I dont rate him anywhere near old Hop on skill level.

    I think to beat Povetkin you will need to stay busy, like Huck was when he fought him. Hopkins style, size and age all go against him.
