How do you think this fight would go? IBF MW champ Hopkins against undefeated European champ Barker. What do you think?
I'm assuming you mean the mid-90's version of BHop in a mythical match-up against Barker. Well, to be honest i've only seen a few short youtube clips of Barker, and he seems to be a very energetic, dynamic fighter, but i do see quite a few little mistakes, especially defensively. But a young BHop, who i have seen a lot of, was an absolute beast. Ferocious, tireless, versatile and ofcourse very allround technically. I don't see a guy like Barker who's still relatively untested and far from flawless last against that version of Hopkins.
a prime hopkins would eat him alive but right now? Barker probably as Bhop is a boring dirty man handler rather than a boxer.plus im a barker fan so i would say that!!!
barker is a euro fighter at tops. if he fights for a middleweight championship and wins then it shows how weak the divsion is however he would beat hopkins by a landslide
