    Manny = Pressure.

    Taylor / Dawson = Pressure.


    Note the pattern.

    If Bernard was the same size as Pac he'd school him silly, foul him silly, headbutt him silly. Hopkins defence, lateral movement and counter punching would be all wrong for *******

    10 punch a round Taylor is a pressure fighter now? :lol: Taylor and Dawson have something Pac doesn't, an adequate jab.

    Bernard may be too old to do this now, but the one we saw vs Trinidad P4P could school Pac

    Hopkins would give Pacquiao lateral movement and Pacquiao would be spitting his mouthpiece out (again) within 6 rounds. People keep bringing Calzaghe up but in this hypothetical weightless fight I assume Hopkins would NOT BE IN HIS 40's.

    emmanuel gets his feelings hurt and cries in between rounds in his corner when Bernard busts out the headbutts, thumb in eyes, and clinching

    I hate Bernard Hopkins even more than I hate *******s, but I would definitely pick him to win. However, I would NOT pay to see it.

    Pac has a similar style to Calzaghe, apart from he punches like a TRUCK.

    Calzaghe had the style to really trouble Hopkins so if that workrate and pressure is against him WITH manny power, there's only one way the fight can end.

    Lol, Hopkins struggles with elite speedy and atheletic two-handed fighters his own size. Hell De La Hoya was fighting him even until he tired. Pacquao would be the most speedy and athletic fighter he's ever faced outside of a prime Roy. We know Pacquiao matched one of the very best tecnhical boxers/counter-punchers today, Marquez, over 36 rounds. I can't see how Hopkins would pose him too many problems as he won't be able to get close enough to hold, butt and spoil. Pacquiao would beat this Hopkins very easily, and should be favorite to beat a prime version due to Hopkins obvious style weakness, all things being equal physically.
