Following Floyd Mayweather's September 14th victory over Canelo Alvarez, Bernard Hopkins was asked if he thinks Floyd could fight effectively at 160lbs.  B-Hop stated that he believes Floyd could definitely compete at that weight and perform how he usually does, because it wouldn't even be about the weight at that level, it all comes down to skill, and in boxing Floyd is a "master chess player."  Hopkins also stated that he would accept the fight "in a heartbeat" and drop to 160lbs if he was offered the chance to fight Floyd at that weight.
