    Not happening. No way can Sergio jump two weight divisions like that.

    168, or it's not worth discussing.

    You cant blame hopkins for this, lets see him get by dawson first, if that works out then I would like to see him fight some of the other 175 guys like cloud or s6 winner/bute.

    Yeah, he's so old, he really cant get down in weight. Plus, Martinez should stick to 154/160.

    Whats the point? If sergio doesn't want to move up to 168lbs what makes him think he will do so at 175lbs? Hopkins vs Cloud or Hopkins vs Ward/Froch/Bute sounds better.

    Lucian Bute should be fighting the winner of Hopkins/Dawson, not a light middle/middleweight

    Hopkins needs to look at trying to fight Tarver for his Cruiserweight belt, or hopefully Toney beats Lebedev and gets a shot at Tarver.

    In other words, the fight isn't happening, I'm not even sure why it was ever mentioned.

    Well, at least this puts the discussion to bed. It's clearly never going to happen.

    This would be a pointless fight. Hopkins should go for one of the cruiserweight belts or one of the top super middleweights if he beats Dawson.

    this...^

    He's already jumped two weight divisions (WW, JMW, MW), he's a small MW, realistically a JMW, he'll be completely dwarfed at LHW. He's never fought over 160 ffs...

    Why are people getting upset over a fight that neither side really had taken seriously. Serg already said no to a catch weight
