    Bhop looks clearly better on film to me. He wins a clear decision.

    I think he's overated too,his opposition hasn't been anything to shout about imo.Plus he was a cynical exploiter of the rules.

    Monzon on points. He's too active. Hopkins loses a close one, 9-6

    I pretty much agree with this. Hopkins had a way of upsetting peoples balance and had very good timing. Also Monzon, as good as he was wasn't the most balanced fighter, Hopkins would be able to pick off shots and disrupt the rhythm and build his own. He might even get a flash KD, but it'd be far from easy
    Of course there's always the possibility of a Monzon KD and he could've just dominated but I'd take Hopkins in a technical 12 round decision
