Arthur Abraham vs. Bernard Hopkins at 170

Hopkins by UD and I'm a fan of both guys.

 

A guy with such a limited workrate is Hopkins dream. I don't think anyone that fights at Abraham's pace can beat Hopkins.

 

Hopkins would school Abraham worse than Pavlik. Abraham just stands there all shelled up. Thats just begging to give Hopkins a points win. Hopkins throughout history has only lost to busy fighters (Jones Jr., Calzaghe, Taylor).

 

Hopkins is the much bigger man and with his experience alone = UD for Hopkins.

Abraham isnt really that big for Light Heavy... Kinda like Adrian Diaconu is...

 

bad matchup for AA.. Bhod defensively too sound hard to inflict damage on him... Bhop by wide UD

 

Hopkins can just about make it as a light HW who picks his fights (which to be fair is ok at his age and with what hes done) AA i think would be to small against most LHW's/

 

Hopkins by KO

 

Hopkins would school this guy easily in his prime. AA barely even throws so even now that Hops is old I see him winning a comfortable UD.

 

Abraham is occupied for the next two years, so this poll is a waste of time...

 

Hopkins he takes that defense away ..I say Double A vs the winner of Pavlik /Williams !!

 

Hopkins would win a wide UD

 

I doubt a guy even with balls the size of Paul Williams would try moving up more than 160 and B Hop is to old to get back down to MW. Would be a great "in prime catch weight fight" though.

 

Hopkins UD in a ugly fight.

 

AA in that AA is 30 and Hopkis is too old for him...age is half to one full eye blink slow.
Both were middles....but Hop is the bigger man....and his age takes that out of the question.


Youdon't see a 40 year old winning the Wimbleton...becasue the reflex is shot by 33.....ok.....that is not pick this man because of that style...it's a no choise thing and at 33, they all start losing to nobodies of a year ago.

You have been spoiled by lots of old fighter fighting each other, in that the tallent pool is small.
