last nights Bernard Hopkins vs prime Michael Spinks

Spinks easily beats last nights Hopkins, and a prime Hopkins for that matter.

 

LOL on easily beating a prime Hopkins. No fighter in history 160-175 beats a prime B-Hop "easily" dude. He may be the best technical fighter since WW2.
But I agree that B-Hop loses an 8-4 / 7-5 decision to Spinks. B-Hop is better than him pound for pound but his best weight is clearly 160, he is too skinny and has no punch at 175.

 

Spinks wins. Hopkins looked good last night but he had a limited guy in front of him with a lot of technical flaws. Spinks style is all wrong for Hopkins. Spinks vs. Hopkins last night or prime UD for Spinks.

 

Old man river Hopkins will be an old man in the river after tasting a barrage of Spinks combinations

 

Spinks would batter Hopkins, obviously. Probably ends in a knockout too, though that would be tough. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume Spinks is the best H2H Lightheavyweight ever, he's certainly in the top 3.

 

Hopkins has a tough enough time in a p4p matchup in his prime against Spinks.

A 2010 Hopkins against Spinks in his prime is just not fair to the old guy.

 

bump

 

A prime Spinks all the way.

 

RJJ beat him easily at 160, but to be fair he was still green then...

But youre right, Hopkins has too much ring craft and old school savvy to lose "easily". On the other hand i still see prime RJJ winning 8/4 9/3 again purely based on the stylistic clash between the two fighters

 

the difference between Pascal and Michael Spinks? I think Spinks stops Hopkins in about 5 rounds in a one sided fight after Hopkins makes some interesting exchanges in the early rounds. Then Michael takes over and stops Bernard. Spinks is the kind of guy who stops guys who handpick like Hopkins has been doing. Spinks was the real deal.

 

that bernard wasnt anything special pascal was ahead and mailed it in

prime spinks wouldnt lose to a 46 yr old blown up middle

 

Spinks would beat any light-heavyweight in history aside from maybe Patterson (at least the LHW I've seen). I'd pick him to stop Pascal-Hopkins II inside 3.

 

obviously Spinks... only reason Hopkins is still relevant is because of crappy fighters like Pascal

 

Look I love B Hop, but Michael Spinks is a mighty tall order... He just hit too hard for Ex. Hopkins would have some measures of success against Spinks in the early going,but. At some point, Spinks would catch him and Spinks could get it dome with either hand, bomb of a right hand or a left uppercut that could damn near rip your head off ! Spinks by mid fight stopage. Same if Ex fought Bob Foster too.
