    John had those slashing punches.
    He could cut you up, if you had soft skin.
    Most likely a sound decision over Hopkins (10-5-0)
    A carbon copy of the Yaqui Lopez fight.

    In 76' he wanted a fight with Ali.
    But, only on London ground.

    John's best fight; vs. Lonnie Bennett

    Tough to figure out.
    Can't under-estimate Hopkins.
    Don't think John could one-punch him out, but could possibly cut him up for a late-round stoppage.
    Other-wise, a solid decision win.

    Conteh outpoints the old man, 15 rounds or 12

    Gonna be a bit contraversial and agree with everything that's been said.
