    Trying to say either man deserved a victory is a bit misleading, if there were ethics involved it'd have been a no contest and the fans' money would've been refunded.:lol:

    Absolutely not. But, if Hopkins is going to fight at Heavyweight he needs to fight the #1 guy. Or he could fight John Ruiz and give him his third loss against a former Middleweight yet we still have people here that praise Ruiz for his "wins".

    Again, handpicking the weakest link in a Division to get a belt proves ****.

    :good

    As bad as Valuev is, Hopkins is way too small and he hasn't shown that he can compete at heavyweight, especially at age 44. He would have a hard time reaching Valuev's head because the difference in size and reach. He should stay where hes at.

    Hopkins is like the same height as Holyfield standing 6'2? I could be wrong.

    I thought he was listed between 6'0 and 6'1 but i could be wrong as well. Even then, Evander is a natural heavyweight who's use to fighting at a heavyweight pace and taking a heavyweight punch. Hopkins has had questionable stamina in his last few fights( expect for Pavlik) I'm just not sure how Bernard will hold up at heavyweight at age 44.

    Hopkins by EASY CLEAR UD, if it's anywhere the fraud's team ask then Hopkins gets robbed.

    Wicked! Imagine the build up! Ha haha!

    Hopkins to win by UD without doubt! Wonder where it would take place? It's also arguably America's best chance to hold a version of the Heavyweight title (depending on how you rate Arreola?)

    God i hope not.

    A 44 year old, 170lbs man vs a 7ft 300lbs+ useless giant.

    It would be like the dark, early days of UFC.

    And i see why your all saying Hopkins by wide UD, but think about this.

    I know Valuev doesn't have much power at heavyweight but he will have against a man who may get about 200lbs for the fight.

    If Valuev hits with some power punches, Hopkins in going down. :good
