Walker.........by KO. It would be one WW too many for Hopkins, Walker isn't DLH, Trinidad, or Simon. He beats down LHW's and HW's.

Yes he'd take over the limit fights, but seeing as he handled 175 fine when well past his physical prime I see no reason he couldn't have at his best.

And yes he wouldn't have beaten everyone listed in this thread. Hence why all of them suffered losses from 160-175 as well.

Lo and behold Hopkins is the same as many other ATGs; not infallible. Wow.

Evasion!

Jimmy Ellis made 160 for a while...

Thread starter is the dumbest person on the forum by some margin. Piece of dogshit for a brain.

Pachilles we know you've got a personal hard on against me, as I said before one day we might meet.

my posts are ALWAYS polite, respectful and present honest and fair assessments and fact based questions, you don't like me, fine, doesn't trouble me.

But just because you can't handle the Golden Era fighters prowess don't keep trying to marginalise my input.

I'm not the only one who thinks the Older fighters swam in deeper waters and are PROVED for all time, nor I'm I the only one that isn't moved by Hopkins.

so leave your hatred out of it and look at my FAIR question, Hopkins is not what this modern day BS would have people believe, very few of them are!

turbotime · 03-14-2013, 07:18 AM

To be fair it's quite a shit thread.

ThinBlack · 03-14-2013, 07:37 AM

They would all beat him, with the exception of Mills, and possibly Lesnevich.

it's not a shit thread it's an honest question about the suppossed great BHop. how would he fair against these (and other) L-HWs, because thats what he really is and always has been in truth.

victories against past it WW and end of the road guys at higher weights, and YES he has had some great wins and he is a great ATHLETE, but would he be the fighter people sell him off to be in deeper waters with more demanding scheduals, much more demanding?

and again at his true size and weight?

I say NO and so do a few others obviously, some people just can't handle that today is an overhyped, boiled down version of what once was a great sport. and pachilles is one of them, he hates me for recognising this.

Well SORRY but it is written and SECURED long before most of us here!

LittleRed · 03-14-2013, 08:29 AM

It's nice to put hopkins up against all those guys, who all fought each other several times in a great era. It's not like you picked guys spanning 30 years or so to cherry pick great fighters.

Wasn't Hopkins a MW

It's a sad truth, but a truth nonetheless. I hate it as much as anyone. Dismantle this mushy, soggy cartoon of our once great sport and rebuild it from the bottom up, I say.

Vic-JofreBRASIL · 03-14-2013, 05:22 PM

I think his chances vs Maxim, Mills and Lesnevich would be pretty good. Especially Mills, who I don´t rate highly, doesn´t look too good on film IHMO...

thistle1 · 03-15-2013, 06:26 AM

I see what your saying re the three above being the lower rated fighters on the list, however even they fought HW's and much tougher comp, so the best BHop might do is spoil to victory, hardly what I would call a convincing win from a supposed great... that is to say IF he could even beat them in the first place!
