I couldn't write Hopkins off. Haye should win but if he gets his gameplan wrong Hopkins knows how to take advantage. I have more interest in Haye-Hopkins than Haye versus any heavyweight outside the top ten.
Would be a similar fight to Haye v Harrison, no punches, lots of posing, Haye KTFO of opponent. Wouldn't do anything for eithers 'legacy'.
You can never count Hopkins out but he's too old. He could forumulate a gameplan and bother Haye with his precision, but as some point Haye would unleash and we'd see an ATG get disgracefully sparked. Mismatch, although I'd pick Hop to beat most of the Cruisers, and Cloud at 175. I feel he deserved the nod against Pascal, 114-112. Like I said he would beforehand :yep
Hopkins for the first time in his career (minus early and at altitude vs Mercado) look shakeable. It felt a little wrong because he is one of those guys who is pretty much unknockoutable. Haye is wild and might not land clean but then so is Pascal and if it is Haye landing on those odd occassions, it could be a sad night.
