    Hopkins would beat Valuev. He would land about 12 punches, one per round. Valuev 1 or 2, rocks him, but B-hop survives.

    I truly don't believe Valuev could land one clean shot on Hopkins to save his life.

    I think he's targeting Froch.

    Hop & company are pretty smart... Bad Chad at 175 is no Kelly Pavlik walkover fight.

    Given this is his last fight before he retires, he's earned the right to have a fairly easy fight IMO...He's been fighting top fighters for the most part of his career and he's entitled to that if he so pleases...The guy is 44 years old FFS!

    a fairly easy fight! its his last fight he should go out with a bang!, fight the fight we want, pass the torch to the younger generation, you telling me you would rather see him fight clinton woods which is a "fairly easy fight", than fight Chad dawson, Hopkins knows that there is more money to be made fighting top contenders than easy fights which nobody wants!

    Thats your opinion...Me personally I really dont care who he fights to be totally honest with you...Why force him to do something when he stated on record he will not fight Dawson?
