Hopkins wants the payday.

Floyd won't love the idea of moving up.

 

If Hopkins goes back to 160 he'll probably look the same as Oscar did against Manny.

 

Indeed. I believe he would fail to make weight.

 

No way he makes weight. He'd look like a skeleton.

 

Hopkins should forget about Floyd and set his sights on Ward. That's an easier fight to make.

 

Bleh. A replay of the Hopkins-Winky fight but with a different winner.

Only thing interesting might be for gamblers betting on the over/under for head-butts.

 

Even if Snaggles drops to 154 lbs, Floyd will never fight Hopkins.

 

I would love to see Hopkins spank Floyd.

 

Hopkins will have to cut off a leg, literally, to make this fight happen. Floyd will demand it.

Would never happen. Hopkins can't make 160 at this point, and Floyd can't go up there.

 

Pacquiao vs Hopkins is more realistic. I would like to see it happen.

 

honestly if sergio martinez could get away from HBO i could see him getting a fight with mayweather jr at 156. he is ripe to lose

 

And why Floyd can't go at 160 lbs ?? I'd understand his reticence for a young monster like Golovkin, but for a 50 years old man. (well, 49 y.o. at the time of the fight to be precise) who fought at lhw for the last 7 years (so he probably would be more at a disadvantage at that weight than Floyd), I don't see why he couldn't go there. After all, he had no problem making Marquez go up 2 weight class to fight him, and fighting this Floyd was a far more daunting task than the Hopkins he'll face.

The more I think about that fight, the more I like it, providing Hopkins can indeed make 160lb without depleting himself. It would be a big big event. And considering his hefty purse guarantee, Showtime is probably gonna push him in this direction.
