    Floyd won't win one minute of this fight. Shutout and then KO at the sixth round.

    Are you on acid ?

    Mayweather is the better p4p fighter of the 2 but stands no chance, absolutely 0 chance in a h2h contest.

    I'm talking about a bout that would involve the B-Hop that could make 158lbs as he did with De La Hoya. Obviously PBF would have to bulk up to try and accomplish something amazing..We're talking here of the present PBF.

    So to put you in the situation, imagine the weigh-in limit at 158 lbs and PBF bulked up to possibly 155. Now we have a master of the craft in Hopkins but we also have one of the most skilled fighters ever facing him..

    Knowing that the past Hopkins would have to weight drain a little like he did for DLH, do you think that PBF could put together a performance that would not only make him win but instantly propel him into the circle of the 5 best P4P fighters all time ?

    If they were the same size naturally, Mayweather would beat B-Hop about 8-4 but they`re not so its pointless.

    Hops aint going to loose to someone that much smaller than him. Hopkins is regarded as one of the best middleweights ever. Their skill levels are comparable while Hops has such a size advantage, PBF's speed advantage cant over come that and he will be slower at 160 anyway.

    I dont see it happening. First Hops wasnt weight drained for DLH, he was 158 but he made it fine and was in great shape. He took a few rounds to feel out DLH but then proceeded to beat his ass.

    PBF-DLH was very technical and a close fight with PBF edging it, and DLH was younger and better when he fought Hopkins.

    Floyd aint even a high output guy, he cant hurt Hopkins and he isnt going to out work him like Taylor did, what can he really do?

    Hopkins is tricky and he has the strength advantage he can use his footwork and shoving on the inside to place PBF where he wants him and tee off on him.

    Winky has a solid defense but Hopkins used his size advantage and footwork to find a way to get through Winky. He would do the same with PBF.

    Thats not even to mention the reach advantage he will have on PBF, PBF isnt going to be able to run away and pop shot like he did agaisnt Baldo because Hops is 6 foot 1. The more I think about it the harder it gets for Floyd.

    Funny how the same ******s who were responding with laughing emoticons did the same whenever people mentioned Pac/DLH, Pac/Cotto or Pac/Hatton. Yet when it happened, he beat past prime guys.

    Floyd didn't hurt HOYA either but he clearly edged him out. Hopkins doesn't have the highest work output either and we all know how precise and quick PBF is with his punches. Could PBF work around the size factor and put together a performance for the ages against master Hopkins?
