That would be a pretty interesting fight to see. I seriously doubt Hopkins can get down to 160 at this age, but if anybody could do it, he could. He would be the bigger guy, the bigger puncher and one of the only guys who would have a chance of matching Mayweather skill-wise.
Even though B-Hop is always in top shape, the weight drain would give him a huge disadvantage in conditioning. I think ultimately, as good as Hopkins is skill-wise, Floyd is better, and his skill and speed would prevail. Floyd by UD.
I doubt Floyd would ever take this fight. He has very little to gain and everything to lose.
A 48 year old coming down from 175 to 160 would be interesting. He would be drained. If he didn't land a KO blow early he would tank later. Mayweather UD
Won't happen. Bhop would risk his physical health making the weight and Floyd will not sacrifice his speed meeting the weight.
I think Bhop was just clowning... or at least I hope he was.
Regardless of whether he was joking or not, this fight would never happen.
After the Canelo fight B-Hop said that he's willing to fight Mayweather at 160 in May of next year.I think Hopkins style would be kinda difficult for Mayweather but keep in mind B-Hop will be turning 49 years old which will be a factor.But if this fight was to take place next year.I pick Floyd to win by a close decison.So let me know what u guys think about this fight with your predictions.Thanks in advance
