    Lets say a 35yo Hopkins bulks up to 200-205lbs retaining his speed and stamina, then he'd school Haye, even the 40yo version should school Haye. But not this 46yo version who clearly looked to be slipping the other night

    BIG DEE HERE= Hopkins wouldnt make it passed the 1st or 2nd rd as Haye would have no respect for him and blast him out quickly

    Yes it is. That's David Haye's only tactic when he thinks his opponent can be knocked out, and he would be supremely confident of KO'ing a 45 year old light-heavyweight.

    I will bet anyone Hopkins makes it at least to mid fight against Haye if it comes off.

    Yeah i was just kidding there with that post.

    I watched the Ornelas fight just by the way, I thought Hopkins was very good to be honest.

    No..much as I am not a fan of Haye's and believe that either Klitschko could humiliate him, he is much to strong, fast and explosive for Bernard Hopkins. He would be sheer disaster for Hopkins, definitely he would not fit the template of a Hopkins victim.

    No, I dont think Hopkins can beat him.
    Maybe Holyfield can, I dont know.

    I can't see Hopkins pulling this off. As slick as he still is at his age. It would be a waste of Haye's time.
