    I think Giardello would have outslicked the slick as lard Hopkins in a close 15 rounder.

    I know I'll get some flack for picking Joey, but really..Hopkins never faced anyone remotely like him..and if Taylor could beat him twice...

    Controversally at the age of 39

    I think Hopkins could win this from the outside, but if he didn't he'd do what he usually did when having problems with jabs, come inside and completely maul Giardello who wouldn't have the strength to keep him off

    Middleweight Hopkins was stronger than Dick Tiger?

    I love both guys, but think Bernard would find a way to take this.
