If adamek beats banks then his money fight is a lock

Hopkins is officially on board, now it's up to Adamek to hop on board to make this fight.

"And the new.........Ring Magazine Cruiserweight Champion of the world......Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins!"

 

And then the NEW WBA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, Bernard Hopkins. Valuev looks upset, but gives Hopkins a carry round the ring nonetheless.

Hopefully Hopkins will finally retire after that. We have seen with Jones that no matter what you do, if you stay too long and get K.O'd your resume will suffer. Beating Pavlik, Adamek and Valuev (Adamek would be the toughest fight out of those three for Hopkins IMO) would erase all memories of the two Taylor fights.






Oh, no, I almost forgot. People would say Hopkins 'ducked' Dawson instead
