    Haye wouldn't fight BHop, he's too tricky for him.

    Great post. I think Hopkins can do it as well.

    Thing is, they would never agree on money for this one. Both will demand big numbers and I don't see enough public interest to satisfy them.

    To make things worse, reportedly Haye can make 9 million euros in a fight with Audley, much easier to him and he can even put a rematch clause on the contract.

    I guess Hopkins just needs to build a time machine to go back and fight the 198lb, inexperienced, never been past round four, gassed version of Haye that Thompson knocked down (though he still got up and was on his feet when stopped...)

    Nowdays, If SNV couldn't dent Haye's chin with a flush crunkercut then someone who's last KO win was a fatted up welterweight Oscar De La Hoya taking a comedy tv dive ain't getting the job done....

    I'd pick B-Hop over Haye. B-Hop has been in with every kind of fighter, including many better than Haye.

    Haye is one dimensional. Speedy, pot shotting. He doesn't have the ring IQ or defense of Hopkins, nor the experience.

    Plus, Haye is a ***** and B-Hop is an ex-con. You know what con's do to bitches, right?

    I say let that fight happen. MUCH better than any other bull**** Haye is going to do in the near future.

    Besides, B-Hop deserves a shot at the title more than Haye ever did.

    Haye's got a damn small head for a heavyweight. It looks tiny at that angle.

    Bernard may walk around at a heavyweight poundage, but won't be competetive as an athlete at a 200lbs + weight.. He is a 190 at best, he would be found out even at the level of a heavyhanded half decent puncher. Haye and even Povetkin would take him with heavy handed attacks... I respect Bernard and he is a legend at any weight on earth at his great age other than Heavyweight, he isn't naturally built like those guys..
