Bernard The Executioner Hopkins vs Canelo Alvarez, 160 lbs, Both Prime.

Of course they are prime.or what's the point!?

 

Hopkins schools the redhead by UD. bernard has the height and reach advantage. He is a master tactician and would make Canelo fight the fight he does not want to fight.

 

Bernard breaks his spirit with his dirty tactics

 

Hopkins wins. And, I am not much of a fan of Hopkins.

 

Surprised everyone is thinking this is a formality.I don't, I shouldn't be at all surprised if Canelo won this on work rate.

 

Hopkins points, Canelo is slow footed and Hopkins in not and if Canelo does get close, Hopkins ties him up and hits him round the back of the head

 

I think Hopkins wins this by way of a fairly straightforward, UD.

 

BHop would never lose to a white boy...or so he claimed...

 

Assuming the judges are straight, I’d pick Hopkins in a close decision. I think it’s a pretty bad style match up for Canelo

 

Maybe sometimes his tactics was a bit dirty but he was one of the most impressive boxer ever seen as to heart and ring IQ imo. Much respect for the Alien.

 

I'm going to go with Canelo.

He's far more explosive and faster than Hopkins. Hopkins excelled in hitting and holding. He's going to find it harder to do that against a guy that's looking for the counter and looking to explode in a bunch of punches. Once he moved up to 160 his stamina was much improved as well as his footwork. In the first Golovkin fight he was fairly motoring around the ring, drawing GGG into traps and counters. Hopkins liked an even slower fight than Canelo, which means that ginger will likely be able to dictate the pace of the fight.

I think Canelo takes it on points, simply because he will look better in his moments than Hopkins does.

 

First .... Canelo would NEVER EVER fight B Hop he would argue that he wasnt a 160 pound fighter like he did when he was ordered to fight GGG, he'd hand back his bogus WBC & be named El Pollo Rojo & dis owned by his Mexican fans

 

Hopkins wins 11 rounds but it ends in a draw.
