    Hopkins is too dirty and has above average skills. He would've box circles around hagler. He would've bullied and beat up Leonard. And Thomas hearns would have been easy work

    He's not beating the best 160lbs version of Robinson, and He's basically 50/50 with Hagler and Hearns (though I would back him over both). He's not "schooling" any of them obviously.

    He would have taken them to A school, where they teach HIM a lesson!
    Seriously man, pre prime RJJ already gave him a lesson.

    If Hopkins fought the old Robinson that lost to Denny Moyer, Hops would probably win. The styles are very similar.

    Allan Green ****s them both in the ass without **** and then they make him a sandwich and turn the comic book pages for him while he reads.

    I'm not sure whether this is serious or not so I won't go too into it. Both Sugar Rays beat Hopkins easily, and I'd take Hagler winning a close decision and Hearns losing a close decision.

    b-hop was far more "pre-prime" than rjj was.

    Troll.

    Hagler-Hopkins is up for both to take. 50/50 fight. I think Hagler may edge it.
    Hopkins-Leonard is a solid decision for Hopkins. Leonard would make it close with his speed, skill and style though.
    Hearns has a solid chance to decision Hopkins but I guess Hopkins is able to neutralize Hearns assets for most parts of the fight and get to him late. He stops him there in his prime I think.
    Riobinson at his mw best would beat Hopkins. Too much speed, power, skill. There is too much to neutralize for B-Hop there. SRR was the best offensive fighter I´ve ever seen.

    Anyway, people who use Jones as an example of how those guys would fare against Hopkins are as delusinal as the TS.

    Surprised to see a modern fighter actually have a chance let alone win a fantasy matchup.

    :lol: No doubt, I was expecting to see ridiculous posts such as "Hearns KO's Hopkins in 10 seconds", or the always classic "Hopkins shits his pants as soon as Hagler steps in the ring" post.

    Of course modern fighters like hopkins, mayweather and pacquiao do not stand a chance against any 50s-60s-70s-80s elite fighters eh

    Good Logic numnuts :lol: :patsch

    You've watched too many Bert Sugar interviews

    Hagler would beat Hopkins IMO. Hopkins would probably beat SRL at middle. Hopkins-Hearns is the most intriguing fight of the three, it would be a very interesting technical match-up.

    All three of those guys would beat Hopkins, but not easily. They would all be close fights that more than likely go to the scorecards. Hopkins was already beaten by Roy Jones Jr, Calzaghe, and Jermaine Taylor (twice).

    Hagler was a beast and would outwork Hopkins and turn it into a war and would eventually win a close UD.

    And of course if Jermaine Taylor can beat him then it's fair to say that Sugar Ray Leonard would have.

    Hearns would probably be a split decision that could go either way.
