    At LHW I would favour him over most except Kovalev, Stevenson, and possibly Beterbiev, Cleverly if he is back to how he was pre Kovalev.
    That still leaves many top LHWs I would favour Hopkins to beat like Chilemba, Fonfara etc

    At SMW, I would favour him against most except some of the faster SMWs like Degale, Groves, but would is a styles make fights scenario favour Hopkins over Froch

    Yet he can't beat Bellew who was nearly decapitated by Adonis.

    Ward and Andre Dirrell, out of the list of choices. There is nothing to suggest Beterviev is ready for Bernard, yet. Adonis isn't the type of speedster Bernard has trouble with. Everyone else.....just no

    At Cruiserweight.
    He beat Tony at LHW

    Adonis has no boxing skills.
    None.
    Cleverly uses his jab all night and UD's Adonis.

    Old Hopkins isen't schooling Beterbiev.
    Don't confuse him with Shumenov.

    I doubt he can beat Ward, everybody else he has a chance beating. Even Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev hasn't even polished his craft yet, Bernard is not the cannon fodder that he has fought up until now. I believe eventually, Beterbiev will round the curb, he's not there yet.

    Bhop shouldn't even be allowed to fight Beterbiev. That'd be actual a death risk for him at this point given that he refuses to be knocked out.

    Beterbiev would look foolish against the Alien

    Beterbiev is like a reverse of Kovalev.

    I class Kov as a boxer/puncher
    Whereas Arthur is more, puncher/boxer.

    Still, Arthur has enough boxing skills to beat old Hopkins.
