    Hopkins could very well pick a win here. Two spoilers, Hopkins might be best advised to follow Archie Moore's lead and try to rough Maxim up in the clinches. Otherwise he would keep pumping that point-scoring jab of his, which was difficult to take away. Maxim was also a good counter-puncher, but would mostly clinch while in close, oddly having no real in-fighting ability to speak of for a fighter from the 1940's aside from nullifying his opponents of course.

    In general anyway, but I must admit that his was one of Maxim's better displays:
