    I don’t have an off-hand winner. Maybe Steele but I’d have to weigh it carefully. What about you guys?

    I would've loved to have seen this fight (along w/ Steele vs. just about any great MW). I think Steele's quick hands & counterpunching skill might've been able to foil Hopkins from imposing "his" fight, but who knows?

    Bhop the Bigger man,

    spoiler type fighter and back in the day he would have been operating as a L-HW cum HW... though Steele was every inch a great fighter, but Bhop's Height & overall stature might be too big for Steele, especially giving Bhop holding & spoiling.

    But Freddie, I believe would leave him with more to think about, even if he loses in a poor spoiling fight.
