Since Jones won a belt at heavyweight, can Hopkins do the same?

Jones won the WBA title, beating John Ruiz.
Hopkins is 6'2", can he go up to heavyweight and make history by beating one of the champions too? Maybe go after Valuev's WBA title?

 

can not see it happening

 

He might struggle from a stamina point of view....any heavyweight is gonna try and make their strength count.....usually Hopkins is doing the hugging, but i think that very tactic would be applied against him

 

Maybe against Valuev he could work something out,.. but it would be an exhausting task keeping that warm perspiring ogre from leaning on him like a creaking oak,.. those old legs of his will definitely feel that...

 

He already talked about it...then wised up.

 

Chagaev and Sultan were his best hopes. Now he has none. Even Fat Toney and Ham Peter are too big and not goet style for X

 

It's not like there's a ton of great cashout options at heavyweight.

The biggest paydays guarantee certain beatings.

 

Yep, there's no "weak" title holder. At least not weak enough for Hopkins to have a shot.

 

Hopkins sure as heck can beat two left feet Valuev IMO, and perhaps Vitali as well.

Hopkins schooling Valuev will be unprecedented from a size standpoint as far as victory is concerned, and I sure wish he moves up and tatoos this ungainly, no talent slob.

Hopkins would do a paint job on Ruiz also.

Vitali is completely gassed after 2 rounds, mouth wide open and hands at his waist..disgusting.

The heavyweights are basically pathetic.

 

Well, maybe Valuev can beat me, but one thing is for sure..he'd go back to Russia with some sore ribs!

This board just ain't the same without the Stinger, eh dsimon?

 

I'd hit that Big Baboon in the body so hard, he'd be pissing blood for two weeks.

 

If he's gassed after 2 rounds, how's he still throwing 100+ punches per round thereafter for the duration of the fight? :dunno:

 

I put my money on the stinger. I'll Holla 5000

 

Which one of you deleted my post? you're on thin ice Gladys. :nono:

 

if Ruiz had a belt Hopkins could beat him up for it, yes

 

Ruiz's stink is far greater than Hopkins stink.

 

Ruiz would beat the shit out of Hopkinsld:ld:, Hopkins style depend a lot on physical strenght, he would be severraly hindered at hw
