    Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-2, 23 KO’s) has the perfect opponent to fight the tune-up fight that the Klitschkos would like for him to fight before one of them will agree to fight him again. Bernard Hopkins, 46, who was totally disgusted with Haye’s pathetic effort in losing to IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko recently, took the opportunity to call Haye out for a fight and even acknowledged that Haye would have a 20 pound weight advantage over him in this fight.

    Hopkins doesn’t care, and also doesn’t care that he’s 15 years older than Haye. Hopkins isn’t afraid of Haye is willing to be the smaller guy. Thus far, Haye hasn’t said a word about the challenge, but it seems to be it’s a great fight for Haye. A bout between Haye and Hopkins would be a big deal in the United States and would draw well if it takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada.
