    Presuming at 160?

    B-Hop points... too clever by half for Canelo...

    Canelo by UD. I don't think Hopkins style allows him to overcome Canelo in the eyes of the judges. These boards however will no doubt see it differently with the majority of posters saying Hopkins got jobbed.

    Good point. You've correctly assumed Canelo would bring his judges to the party...

    In reality yes, but on the judges scorecards I doubt it. To win a round against Canelo you need to utterly dominate him for the entire three minutes as if he lands a couple of decent shots he's getting the point.

    Does he fight in front of any other type? One judge tried to screw Floyd king of the strip Mayweather in Vegas. That tells you all you need to know.

    She was the judge who never worked again. People assume that was because her reputation was left in tatters but truth be told, she just got paid very well... lol

    Im assuming this is a pre 40 Hops that could still make 160.

    It wouldn't be close. Hopkins would win 10 rounds to 2...

    I think Canelo would have trouble with most of the bigger elite middleweights....

    She's knee deep in 1000 peso bills.

    Agreed. Apart from Sugar's salient point about getting a decision vs Canelo....

    Tito version would probably be too much for Canelo. Canelo is superb with his counters, but Hopkins can be a little dirty at times, and knows a lot of tricks. I see him frustrating Canelo to a UD.

    This. I need to see some more improvement in Canelo before he takes this matchup IMHO.

    prolly would be a boring fight could go either way. b hop might make him miss and hes crafty he could prolly win the boxing match maybe a bit controversial

    Trinidad who is much better than Canelo had no success whatsoever against B Hop .

    Canelo gets stopped in 8 rnds .

    It will look so easy .
