    Bad bennie packed some serious fire power, but I don't think Hopkins would allow himself to get into a position where bennie could just tee off on him. Bennies boxing skills are also underrated in light of his tremendous power, but I can't see him getting a decision over Hops. Hops didn't have great KO power (decent), and Bennie had a very good chin, so I don't see him going down in this one. I would lean towards a tactical decision by Hops 7-5 or 8-4, while still giving bennie that punchers chance.
