    Hopkins is a big guy who was proven at higher weights.

    It would have been a great fight between him and GGG.

    I don`t think McCallum would have been the bookies favourite v GGG.

    It would have been a great fight, I was just saying B-hop wouldn`t have roughed GGG up and bullied him because that wasn`t B-hop`s style.

    People tend to forget that Hopkins started at LHW, lost and then went two weight classes down.

    Hopkins would have made the good boy his cabin boy plain and simple.

    Big claims for a guy that struggled against Segundo Mercado.

    Looked like a TKO7 to me when they didn't fight at 9,000 feet in a 120 degree arena. What would Golovkin have looked like had he fought Ouma at 9,000 feet in a furnace? The Ouma fight lets us know that both Hopkins and Hagler would have put a beating on Golovkin.

    The Ouma fight lets us know that even a jetlagged, sickly GGG that hasn't slept properly in two days still takes fighters and dumps them in the trash. Lest we forget

    Shopworn 5'8 former 154 pounder Ouma long past his prime at that point was putting serious work in on Golovkin. A shame Ouma wasn't a couple years younger, he would have won on points.

    Hagler would also be a 154 pounder in this age. Golovkin would be the most difficult opponent of his entire career.

    Excuses excuses. Bhop struggles with Mercado, but GGG struggles with Ouma because of what.....? Excuses:confused:

    Drenlou: "I fought this guy! He really struggled with me"
