    Lets be honest, this would certainly have been harder than Tito or DLH. Hopkins' toughest 160 defence for sure.

    Hmmm......

    Eubanks was Simply the Best....Tina Turner sung a song of the same name.

    Substitute Bernard for Ike and you see what Im getting at.

    Wouldn't be as easy as many think, and this win would have been a better victory than any Hopkins had at 160.

    But I think he may just have squeezed it out. Hops would have a much bigger problem with Eubank than he would with Benn though.

    Hopkins is better fighter than Eubank all round.

    Hopkins would win proably 116-112 on the scorecards, Eubank having his moments but Hopkins being in control through most of the fight.

    Funny think is Hopkins and Eubank are roughly the same age and Hopkins is fighting at the top still, Hopkins is truely amazing for that alone.

    Hopkins on points, Eubank had a solid chin so wouldn't be knocked out

    Hopkins would be just too good for Eubank in my view. However, no way is there a stoppage either way.

    Hopkins UD!
