bernard said in a recent interview that he's the man to bring the hw gold home to the u.s.

i think he could just be that man he looked great against tarver and the way the hw division is at the momment i wouldn't disagree with him.

 

[Dr. Wisdom]

I do not know how Hopkins would handle a heavy weight punch, but He's taken some good punches at the divisons he has been in. HE would defently out box all of them, but I think if he ever got hit by some real heavy weight power he could get KO' ed fairly fast.

But, he was a natural born lightheavyweight. So he could take some hw punishment.

 

[TommyGunn]

hop started out at 154 not lightheavy.

 

[bill1234]

But B-Hop said it himself he was a natural born lightheavy, just had more success at middleweight.

 

[TommyGunn]

how many people gave hop a chance against tarver not to many, i thought he had a chance but didn't think he could win in the manner he did.

i think hop saying he was a natural at the weight was just gamesmanship if he was a natural he could have had the rematch against roy jones he so strongly craved many years ago.

i still think he has the style to beat the big boys hop is as elusive a fighter as any today. this will be interesting.
