David Haye vs. Bernard Hopkins, this fight should happen

Haye by KO.

 

Haye is NOT Valuev.

Bernard won't fight him.

 

only if bernard has a death wish.

 

Hop would get sparked.

 

I would certainly be watching.

 

Ha. I don't think so. I hate to say it, but as a high workrate, mobile fighter who's bigger and stronger than Hopkins, Haye would destroy Hopkins. Maybe not knock him out, but beat him badly. It would be as if Hopkins fought a bigger, quicker, stronger, chinnier version of Jermain Taylor.

 

the problem for bernard here is that haye hits absurdly hard, he has huge huge power and he's not going to have to hit cleanly to put the hurt on bernard. just wailing away sloppily on bernard's elbows, forearms and shoulders is going to put old bernie in a world of pain.

 

Haye has too much size and speed for Hopkins.

 

I'd rather see Haye-Toney at HW. The press confrence alone would be a sight to behold.

 

Bhops by decision. hayes might be the bigger and stronger fighter, but he depends way too much on his reflexes and has very bad defense. he's fast on his feet,all his power punches are bombs, but he throws them from the other side of the ring, i'm pretty sure b-hops will see them a mile away. many have to be reminded bhops is the best technician in the world today and unless haye can throw over one thousand assorted slaps at bhops without having stamina problems like joe did, hopkins schools him. like roy jones in his best days, i think bhops is one of the few that can get a few wins vs. certain heavyweights because that's how good he is. anyone who fought hopkins would have to have their best fight in them in order to win. haye won the undisputed cruiserweight championship, but who has this man fought to compare to hopkins resume? had haye fought names like adamek, dawson, or johnson he'd at least have a name opponent on his resume

 

. If hopkins ever took that fight, it would change my view on him. But he wont and he shouldnt. Silly match-up

 

Hop would take the fight, but I doubt Haye can get below 200 lbs.
