    In 2011 at heavyweight? Probably got to favor Adamek. A few years back when Hopkins was trying to fight him at cruiserweight I would have favored Hopkins.

    You can never count Hopkins out.
    Many people are forgetting a big thing: FOOTWORK. Adamek has non compared to Hopkins. Hopkins can just keep moving and picking his shots.

    I dont see this happening anytime soon. Maybe if Dawson wins, Hopkins will want to move up to face Tarver at cruiser. So maybe if Hopkins got a cruiser belt, then Adamek could drop to cruiser as well. But otherwise this is a near-impossible fight for Hopkins. Adamek has the advantage because he's been molding his body and boxing style into that of a heavy for years and Hopkins hasn't. I see an Adamek TKO at cruiser or heavy.

    Adamek clear decision or stoppage. There is a reason, why Hopkins refused to fight Adamek at CW.

    6 fights at light heavy for hopkins
    0 at cruiser
    0 at heavyweight

    glad its that easy at 46 to assume he just shuts out ranked heavyweights these days

    Thank you iceman for displaying fundamental boxing knowledge. Hopkin's only chance would be at LHW.

    yea because nobody in boxing history has ever moved up in weight and won.
