Steve Lillis wrote in this month’s issue of Boxing Monthly that Glyn Leach (the magazine’s editor) expects Haye-Hopkins to be a done deal in the future, so it’s definitely a possibility. Also, I’m not sure how serious Haye is about getting in the ring with either Klitschko and there’s not many other lucrative fights at heavyweight for him. And, as you say, the Hopkins fight would definitely sell. Plus, if it happens sometime in late 2010 or early 2011, B-Hop will be looking to break Big George’s record of becoming the oldest heavyweight title-holder. Another selling point!

Hey mate. Just checked Mr. Houston’s preview, he makes a decent case doesn’t he? I think Green may have his moments however not enough of them. Jones will be too savvy, even in his depleted state.

Hopkins might have another scare waiting for the decision, however he’ll have plenty of options available to him should Jones falter, he was really sweating on that Oscar fight!!

It looks like B’Hop fancies a heavyweight title shot next year, he says as much himself close to the end of the interview on Ring mag’s website.

Haye-Hopkins, hmmmm, it would sell but what an odd match……………….

Hey Haz. Graham Houston is actually tipping Green for the upset. Wouldn’t surprised if that happened. Jones is pretty much shot and the Lacy fight (a guy who’s even MORE shot) flattered him I think. He may still have enough to win at this level, but who knows?

I remember B-Hop’s face after the Oscar/Sturm fight was over. It was priceless! I wouldn’t like to have been in Sturm’s shoes if he had won though. Costing the notoriously frugal Hopkins over 13 million dollars is like signing your own death warrant, lol.
