    This is an easy fight for Hopkins. At one time Alex Ramos was highly regarded but it didnt take long to find out he wouldnt make it far as a pro. Great amatuer though i remember my dad raving about him saying he would might end up being a great fighter, he seemed to never live up to the potential he showed early on. Also his chin wasnt too hot. Even at his best he was a lower tier top 10 guy.
    In B-Hops prime he was stopping guys and he could punch he would ko Ramos.

    Hopkins tko 6

    Yeah, Ramos was highly touted & had, skills. just wasnt durable & a weak chin. He probably would hang a couple of rounds with B-Hop. Then get stopped around the fifth.

    Hopkins wins a close decision over Ramos, getting dropped twice in the process.
