So little insight to my save

Bernard Hopkins 36-0-1(27) 31 years old
Jean Pascal 33-0-0 (30) 32 years old

Bernard Hopkins

Undisputed Middleweight Champion
Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion
Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion

Jean Pascal

Cruiserweight Champion for 6 years straight now.
Current WBA WBC WBO World Champion
Former Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion

If I was to make this fight it would be the biggest pursed fight of all time.

Both fighters are towards the end of their careers now but I don’t know if I want to ruin either one’s legacy when they are close to the finish line. Hopkins was never meant to make it to Light Heavyweight let alone even look at Cruiserweight so he will not fill out at all. Height and reach it’s fairly similar. I do like the way Hopkins has done on the unthinkable so far for somebody that had no amateur success whatsoever.

I’ll post some pictures below, let me know if I should let Hopkins try it, IF and it’s a big IF, if he was to win, I currently have Andy Ruiz Jr as the Heavyweight Champ who is very small in stature so just imagine in Hopkins vs Ruiz at HEAVYWEIGHT could come from this.

For anyone curious what Andy Ruiz is looking like and if it would be possible for Hopkins, keep in mind he’s currently two weights below and will have a big stat change just going to cruiserweight let alone Heavyweight

Ended up dodging it

Hopkins went on to finish his career with a trilogy fight against his career rival Adonis Stevenson after the first fight was a draw when they were both 15-0-0, then their unification bout when they were both 25-0-1/23-0-1 at Super Middleweight which Hopkins won by Split decision.

Made sense to have the farewell fight as the trilogy, he retired as 38-0-1 and top of the 100 list.

Jean Pascal is currently still fighting at 41 years old with a record of 48-1-1 his only defeat coming to a 19-0-0(19) Olympic Gold medalist Lawrence Okolie. The rematch will be his final fight. He has surpassed Hopkins now on the 100 list and I think another KO he over takes Evander Holyfield for most KOs ever but 2 more title fight wins he ties Leo Santa Cruz so I kinda want him to stick around.

It’s been a hell of a save kinda gonna miss it when I start a new one.
