    Hopkins is just an attention seeker since he knows exactly that this fight is impossible.

    Not gonna happen, but Hopkins was 178 in the fight. Alvarez was 172 in the fight against Trout. Look at Hopkins and tell me he hasn't lost muscle to the point where a long camp could get him to 166-170 (cutting range for a fight at 160). He'd be losing like 10-15lb, not a huge deal for a 6'1 180lb guy.

    Hopkins can make 160 but as it stands there's no reason for Mayweather to take the risk just to beat a 50yr old. If Hopkins wants it he needs to drop to 168 and 160 and pick up belts first. Hopkins-Martinez is a good one for the loser to retire on...winner fights Floyd? That could work out for all involved...

    What self respecting boxing fan wants to see this ? I mean really ?

    I hope Floyd turns him down flat !
