    palease Hopkins can stand right in front of Duran and beat his ass.. Hopkins is no davy more, and a far cry from Iran Barkley ..Hopkins is too much of everything for Duran at 160..

    Hopkins by stoppage. The smaller Duran would be trying to go to war and pressure Hopkins, and a better inside-fighter than a prime Hopkins there is none. It would be rough and brutal while it lasted. If it's 15 rounds, then I figure a greater chance of a Hopkins knockout. Duran would take a beating in this fight, I think.

    Duran is a much better inside fighter than Hopkins, don't be silly. Duran is also a natural Lightweight, and Hopkins a natural light-heavyweight, as well as an ATG.

    Hopkins by wide UD.

    Hopkins way too big, way too strong, way too good defensively to lose to Duran at MW.....which was far removed from his best weightclass.

    Hopkins is far too strong for Duran.

    On the money :thumbsup

    Duran will be undressed and won't find as much give in Hopkins as he did in Hagler. Hagler choose to make that fight closer than it should have been late in the fight. Hopkins would have made it look easy.

    Hopkins by late TKO. Something awfully close to what Tito experienced.
