    Hopkins vs Michalczewski at LHW

    Think when Hopkins went to LHW a few years back and was beating Tarver. That version of Hopkins vs prime Michalczewski.

    Who wins and how

    Hopkins via prolonged ownage. Michalczelski never had the athleticism or the workrate required to be beat Hopkins. He was a classy boxer with much power. But his aggression will always work against him.

    Hopkins has shown tha his fitness even at an advanced age gives him a good workrate. He showed that against Pavlik.
    Tell me though, when did you see prime Darius take a prolonged beating? Even if behind he never seemed to take a beating off of anyone

    I didn't say 'beating', I said 'ownage'.

    DM wouldn't be remotely hurt at any point but would lose the vast majority of rounds.

    Still should have went down. They were the best at 175. I think DM would have given Jones some problems, but yes, I would have picked RJJ.

    It would of been a great fight and both of their resumes will suffer because it did not happen.

    I agree. It would have been a huge stamp on RJJ's record for 175. I mean, he did work at 175...but he never got in the ring with the guy who was arguably his biggest threat/nemesis. I use to hope everyday coming home from school and hopping on newsfight.com, an announcement would be made for the fight.

    Shame on RJJ and DM.

    Also, did DM ever have any HBO televised fights?
