    Conn is too fast and busy for an old Hopkins.

    Conn had the style..the mobility, the skills, the chin, and most importantly, the CONFIDENCE and the balls to beat Hopkins. THe fast, mobile boxers would be the wolfbane for Hopkins..unlike the slow, plodding, puncher types he so successfully has fed on.
    Guys like Loughran, Pastrano and Conteh would have handed Bernard losses as well.

    Does Hopkins barely have a chance? I mean he is pretty damn tricky...

    Not much of a chance against Conn.
