Harding would have to be be the toughest man ever in regards to Light Heavies. Still makes my hair stand up watching that Andries KO. Believe me... Harding at his peak would be the hardest fights B Hop ever had.
No, i wont believe you. Thats utter nonsense. You obviously have never heard of matthew saad muhammad He would have destroyed harding.
Bhop wins handily, entertaining fight though. Both prime had they be born in england would be top 2 english atg, and have easily dealt with calzaghe.
Bit silly trying to compare the fighters when not at their best. To say BHop of the Jones 2 fight is like comparing Harding on a drunken pub crawl. We are talking about both man at their best, that's not hard to comprehend is it?
Bhop doesn't need to be at is very best to beat Jeff..I can't see any version of him losing or even getting close to losing.
bhop was an all time great. harding was a champ, and dare i say, not even a good champ. in the context of aussie fighters he was an ATG. but not in the world. hop schools harding.
Your way underrating Harding-He was in top shape,strong and could take anything Bhop threw.And he wont stop coming which Hopkins like setting a slow pace and he wont be able to with Harding and he wont be able to muscle Harding on the inside either. Id take Bhop by close decision in a fight where Harding has his moments.
