    No change of heart.

    Hopkins is beyond impressive, much respect.

    Kessler wouldn't be able to get set against Hopkins. He'd look mediocre and lost. 1, 1, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1, 1-2 isn't going to get it done. He's too predictable.

    Hopkins would really take him apart. It would be a replay of Ward-Kessler.

    Heh, so very true. 100% of yanks are like that, amongst the litany of other unsavoury qualities inherent to that scummy lot.

    If only every last one of them could be beaten to a bloody pulp. Ah well, just have to settle for smaller victories, like when Khan is going to obliterate Bradley. Will be very sweet, indeed.

    Hopkins beat a lot of great fighters in his sleep. When he was a wake - he beat up a lot of small guys............:huh

    Funny you can be the best in a division like MW - only to lose the best, and avoid fighting the rest.............:huh

    Remember Hopkins Schooled Taylor in two matches (easy)... Hopkins was and is Taylors MASTER...

    Taylor who is pretty similar to Kessler...

    You cant really prepare yourself to beat a guy like Hopkins, you would have to adapt in the fight how to beat him, and Kessler seems to have to many problems with that (Calzaghe and Ward fights) So in that case i would favor Hopkins over Kessler!

    Hopkins is to experienced, and fights to dirty for Kessler to make his style work proberly! And that old ****er cant be stopped either..

    :lol:
    Just look at the ward fight...
    Hopkins can do all that Ward does and he can do it better.
