    I won't happen, its just a fart in the air. Golovkin will probably have another stay busy fight against a middleweight.

    Pops knows better than to get in the ring with such a skilled killer as GGG.

    He would get pulverized, just as Froch would.

    It makes sense for GGG to take the fight at 168, as its a weight that he will campaign at in the near future. But its also a weight that Bhop will have little trouble getting at. I remember an interview he gave when he said that he is always in shape and that he could make the 160 mark again. He apparently has had to gain weight to make the LHW division, it wasn't a natural weight for him. So theoretically, 168 would be a good weight for Bhop.

    So his best opponent goes from Martin Murray (?) to a 50 year old man who just lost 12/12 rounds a year ago?

    Man this **** is ridiculous. He needs to shoot Loeffler and Sanchez.

    Well he fought Winky and Pav at 170 so I assume that will be it if it happens. Maybe Hops can do it but I think the Kovalev fight and father time have taken their toll on the Alien.

    Not sure I get what you're saying here? Other dude said GGG would dominate popkins... and you said "like Kovalev did"... and ...Kovalev did.

    :huh

    The only reason his defense looks weak is because he's seeking and destroying, he can also box, your defense can't be terrible with an amateur record like him.
    I'll give you 5/1 odds on Hopkins, if they do fight, 20 bucks for 100.

    There is no chance that Hopkins could win though.

    He's too old. The Kovalev fight was a total wipeout. He's got nothing left.
