Prime Hopkins vs McCallum

robert ungurean · 07-23-2007, 06:13 PM

@ 160 Who wins & why. Im leaning towards McCallum at this moment.Could change my mind in another hour.

bladerunner · 07-23-2007, 06:15 PM

this would be a chessmatch between two of the smartest fighters ever.
i cant pick a winner in this one it could go either way.

I'd go Hopkins. It makes it to a decision, but Hopkins takes the fight to McCallum and comes out on top.

Not too many responses here. Im a bit suprised.

My scales tip in favour of McCallum. With his close combat ability he could match B-Hop punch for punch up close and box him ftom a distance.
Tough fight to caal but i think SD fot McCallum

hopkins in a nailbiter.

SJS19 · 01-19-2013, 02:14 PM

Hopkins as he dictates the fight, and forces it to take place on the inside all night.

orriray59 · 01-19-2013, 02:16 PM

Yeah, I got Hopkins.

KOTF · 01-19-2013, 02:30 PM

Hop in an incredibly close decision

MAG1965 · 01-19-2013, 05:58 PM

in my mind Hopkins fought the better competition in his career-more elite. He didn't lose to Kalambay in his prime like Mike did. I like Hopkins to win a decision in a great fight.

Hopkins by decision in a VERY close fight.

This would be absolutely brilliant to watch...for anyone who appreciated the technical brilliance of the Toney McCallum trilogy, this would certainly be on par. I would take Hopkin's to take the fight to (I know no one remembers an under 40 y/o Hopkin's) McCallum who would time and counter Hopkin's in a beautiful masterclass performance...I like Hopkins 8-4 or so, w/ no KD's or threat of a stoppage.

MAG1965 · 01-19-2013, 08:22 PM

I think Hopkins proved in his prime that he was not going to lose. I think he was a little better than McCallum.
