      Whenever they get it on, and we see who is left standing, the debate will be over.
      There is nothing to debate about, Stevenson is the linear champion regardless of whether or not people think he is #1.

        Probably the best thing to be said about Shumenov is that he's arguably a little better than Murat on a good night. He can show some twisty kinda movement and he's big and strong - barring a very considerable upset though BHop, even at 49 ought to be able to take his fight away from him.

        One has to ask, if Shumenov was credible however, why he has fought nobody at all (of any significance) since he got his belt? Why did he make a defence against a guy who wasn't even in boxrecs top 100?

        I got plenty of time for Bhop - without a doubt for me an ATG, hell,even Shumenov ain't bad, but the politics behind this are all too transparent...

          Yeah. Shumenov is B-Hop's personal champ. Grandpa is paying for this.

            Murat was his mandatory to his IBF title. Plus, he deserved an easy fight after fighting Cloud, Dawson, Pascal, Pascal all back to back.

              He is an alphabet belt holder (and stolen from Campillo at that). He's not a champ. There is a big difference.

                He likes Shumenov because:

                1) Shoe will fight under Hop's rules, Hop's ring, Hop's venue, Hop's judges, Hop's ref
                2) Shoe will sign anything you put in front of him because Shoe is starving for cash
                3) Hop thinks Shoe is a sucker who will fall for all his ring tricks

                  Hopkins can't do any wrong at his age
                  hope he keeps winning, his run has been great
                  he shouldn't have the belt he's got, Cloud lost to Campillo
                  but unifying straps is huge for an old guy like him
                  and if he loses it won't matter because he's old
