Bernard Hopkins: I would have knocked out Tommy Hearns

And Barkley landed an absolute BOMB!

 

Dawson is very sporadic in his workrate (I'm being polite!), thats why its a very winnable fight for Hopkins IMHO.

 

Yeah, we'd be more likely to see the Easter Bunny.

 

Hopkins has an iron chin, probably about as good a chin as any middleweight since hagler, and did not exactly have a wide open defence. I reckon an agressive pre 2000 Hopkins has at least the power to hurt him, if not ko him.

 

You have to find Tommy's chin first.

 

Hopkins was more accurate than Roldan, barkley, or James Kinchen who also stunned tommy, thats for sure:good

 

Hop' obviously has a great chin, but the best chin since Hagler was McCallum IMO ;-)

 

Hearns vs. #1 middleweight contender.

I know the Barkley KO is coming back at me SOK but they are both worth watching again!

 

Aye, but he's less aggressive than those.

 

You may be right, forgot about Mccallum, not much to split them anyways:thumbsup

 

Nice work Gaz atsch ;-)

 

Hearns is athletic like china chinned Jermain Taylor, only without the weaknesses.

At 160 Hearns can take it.

 

great ko, well set up, what else can I say:good

I dont want to sound like im saying Hopkins could definitely get a win or anything because Hearns style would be a nightmare for Hopkins, who would struggle with tommys ability, just that he shouldnt be written off:thumbsup

 

Hearns vs Mugabi around 1985/6 would have been a stormer :yep
