Would B-Hop at Heavyweight Be Possible?

I would love to see B-Hop at Heavyweight! What about Hopkins vs Haye?

as much as i would love to see it.. it just wont happen.

 

Jones also gave hopkins is only CONCLUSIVE loss...That's another thing he has over him.

 

I think he could do it against a smaller heavyweight....but I think monsters like the Klitchko brothers and Valuev are a little out of the question IMO. I think he could've beaten Ruiz as Jones did.

 

He could have beat that Sultan guy but sultan said no, the other heavies are too big and bhop is too old. Would be too dangerous.

 

I wondered about that. If he could go into a fight still in shape, he's got the defense, chin and skills to be able to survive and make a fight of it. Problems may be lack of height. I mean while a tall MW, 6'1 at HW isn't going to be a lot. His handspeed is still very good thought which is another plus going for him.

 

I think B-Hop is great. (Had to state that clearly first)

Consider the great shape he stays in between fights and his normal fighting weight range.

Bernard would have to gain 30+ lbs to make the trip to HW. That would be rather difficult, at his age or otherwise. Take into account his body type (which realistically is towards the "hard gainer" category) and frame. He's not a James Toney type that's always battling the bulge.

It would be difficult to imagine B-Hop growing beyond cruiser weight.

A 44 Year, 6' 1" 205lb heavyweight (even as great as B-Hop) should only fight against Evander Holyfield or James Toney. I would not want to see a Valuev vs. B-Hop sideshow and frankly the Klitschko's are just too large.

A natural and talented 240lb champion vs. a 44 Year Old blown up ATG is not something I need to see. (fine, I'd watch it out of curiosity!) I B-Hope it doesn't ever happen outside of the WWE.

 

He's already pulled amazing sh$#. I don't think he has to prove himself any more.

 

Yea he defiitely could of beat Ruiz, Iggy, or Maskaev as he once talked about. But hes too old, and it would be hard for him to put on that kind of solid muscle in a reasonable amount of time without illeagal substances. I dont see him beating either of the Klits right now. I don't know about valuev, but i dont want to see that anyways.

 

you guys have too much time on your hands with these fantasy situations...im convinced after you get off the ESB board, you post on DC and Marvel comic boards matching superman vs batman
atsch

 

Come on, that's ridiculous!!

B-Hop vs. Green Lantern (where the power ring is almost empty and B-Hop has Yellow Trunks and Gloves!!!)

Or Wlad vs. Superman (but Wlad has small shards of Kryptonite in his gloves, and there are Red Sun simulating lights overhead!!!!)

There's my next forum Thread!! :yep

 

Shouldn't happen he couldn't beat a young guy like Arreola, Povetkin or Sultan.

 

doubt it
b hop is naturally fairly thin
I think if he tried to box at HW, he would look his age
