    Hopkins on his best day probably loses too Spinks.Spinks is just a better fighter and the size advantage to Spinks will not help Hopkins chances.

    Hopkins fought evenly with a mid-30s Joe Calzaghe.

    I struggle to see Spinks getting close to such feats.

    :lol:

    Hopkins would make it relatively competitive with his spoiling, but he'd never be a serious threat to win the fight.

    10-5 probably at best for Bernard.

    He was knocked down twice by Jean Pascal...but since Spinks can't bring it like Pascal, he's ****ed. BHOP KO1 Spinks. Prime 175 BHOP KO1 but earlier.

    Spinks would take Hopkins for a ride followed by a late round K.O

    Spinks Jinx all night. B-Hop's taking advantage of unschooled newbs like Pascal and Pavlik at LHW. Against a Real ATG LHW he gets his ass beat back to Philly.

    Spinks.

    Even with a lot of low-blow rests.


    Not necessarily a KO, though.

    P4P, B-Hop may well be the better fighter. But there were few who could match Spinks at light heavyweight, and Bernard isn't one of them.
