Out of the S6 ers + Bute, who, in your opinion, would have the best chance of beating Bhop right now? Why Hopkins? Because there's a chance that any of the S6 ers + Bute will fight him soon and because he has a style wich many consider to be dirty. ...Same as Ward's, according to yesterday's pool. I think Ward can easely beat Bute or Dirrell stilwise for example but his style won't help him with Bhop. What do you think?
Out of S6 ers + Bute leaves almost nothing. Hopkins will handle all others easily. At 175 a fight with Dawson would be very interesting.
That "out" wasn't ment to exclude them but the opposite. I think Dawson wants that fight but I don't believe Bhop will accept it. Bhop's past tells me that he will preffer Bute. Not only does he have better chances against Bute, but what's better, before retiring, than whippin a whitey with 0 losses that calls himself a champion? Of course I preffer he fights both Bute and Dawson but time ain't taking him easy.
hopkins is going to fall fast when he does at his age, but it's his defensive skills which keep him going so long. fighters who don't have defensive aptitude in boxing are always going to fall on their arse fast when age kicks in. prime hopkins though...none of these guys would beat him.
