    Reckon he'd be any good? Lets say he comes in a 205lbs, could be beat some of the smaller guys in the division, ie Ruslan Chag, Ibragimov, Eddie Chambers, Chris Byrd and so on?

    What happened to the Maskeav - Hopkins fight that was being talked about.

    Apparantley he just had a close fight with Winky Wright, so absolutely not. He'd get starched at HW, like most former MW's would.

    Toney and Jones are exceptions.

    was amusing listening to him flapping his gums about fighting david haye.

    the only way hopkins can get to heavyweight is if he borrows some of roy jones' ''supplements'' then he would get KOd badly if wlad hit him flush i think that hopkins would die.

    says if haye gets a belt he'd be 'aroused' by the thought of it.

    ive got to imagine a past 40 dude adding that much weight would cause havoc on his body. just fight joe and call it a hof career

    but....he would still knockout scam cheater to become wbc interim champ

  11. Hops will turn 43 very soon Jan 12 i believe:deal and i doubt he has a death wish so my crystal ball says Hops will NOT fight at heavy in this lifetime, especially after he struggled so hard against Wright at only 170..:-(

    "Naw, he's been too long at Middle, although I think he could do well at LH."

    I'd say so. He does hold the Ring Belt at LH.

    He didn't look good in his last fight, he looked like he finally is getting old. So the answer is no.

    Then he really would get "beat by a white boy", badly
