I'd have to say Hopkins. But on the other hand has he ever fought anyone like Tommy. You should put this in the classic, you'll get some good responses.
Hopkins KO around round 8. He would take away Hearn's right hand. At least the ones that mean anything as Hopkins will see it coming a mile away when Hearns plants to get leverage. And Hearn's lean body would mean easy work for Hopkins on the inside. It would be a beat down IMO.
Now that I think about there are maybe a hand full of people that I favour at 160 over hopkins, im on the fence on this one, made this thread once but im still not sold on b-hop winning since I have a hard time believing hearns getting outboxed and I dont think hopkins would stop him as well.
Bernard Hopkins an ex convict for arm robbery that had been stabbed and an ATG Undisputed Middleweight and 2 Time Light Heavyweight World Champion against a not even natural middleweight Tommy Hearns. This is no midget small man Duran that Hearns can just hit easily and KTFO. This is Bernard @ 6'1 that is superb in defense, timing, conditioning and will psychologically terrorize Hearns in press conferences and face off alone. Hearns is childs play compared to B-HOP. Real Talk!!!
