Of those three fights Hopkins v Eastman is the only one that has the remotest chance of happening and thats slim at that.

Hatton needs to fight at least one of the top five before he gets a shot at Kosta.

Eastman v Hopkins is very remote, neither of them are known for being easy to make fights with.

Mayweather v Witter.... don't make me laugh. Would love to see it but Witter needs to raise his profile considerably before that one happens.

I dont think Hopkins Eastman has the best chance at all, imagine the money Hopkins can make fighting Tito compared to the money he'll make fighting Eastman.

Hopkins-Eastman will probably depend on how long Trinidad wants before a rematch with Hopkins, or if he wants another fight first leaving Hopkins to kick his heels until late next year.

after the wbc put Trinidad in #1 position, a Hopkins-Eastman-fight is doubtable. after Sturm denied the offers from Trinidad and Hopkins, a Hopkins-Trinidad-fight in spring will be 90% realistic.

Hopkins will fight Eastman.

Hopkins has said himself that he will not vacate his title.. And Eastman is the mandatory even though it says #1 Trinidad..

So unless Hopkins goes against his word and drops his title then he will fight Eastman

the money of a Hopkins-Trinidad-fight speaks an own language.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 'champion emeritus' reared it's ugly head again, giving Hop an extension of facing Eastman so that the WBC can avoid stripping him.

I really hope this fight can happen but I think that Maselino Masoe is more likly to fight eastman and that would be a fight which brought him some more credability if he wants hopkins.
