Name a fighter at MW that would have beaten Hopkins the night he fought Trinidad

Harry Greb
Sugar Ray Robinson
Marvin Hagler
Carlos Monzon
Gennady Golovkin.

End thread

 

Not monzon or golovkin. But the rest are good. Roy jones would beat him just like in 1993 if he safely made weight.

 

Golovkin has beaten one top 10 contender and he gets listed among the geats!

 

He didn't ask to list the greats he ask to name a fighter that would beat Hopkins the night he beat Trinadad. Read the question.

 

real talk, idk one way or the other. But how do you know that Harry Greb would beat Hopkins?

 

Hopkins was prime and on top of his game that night and I'm not giving anybody a clear victory over him. It's a toss up. He would've beat the **** outa Harry Greb.

 

Greb-Hopkins would have been the dirtiest middleweight fight in boxing history.

 

Agree to everyone except Hagler & Golovkin. Hagler is really quite a bit smaller than Nard and I could see getting outpointed and Golovkin because we still don't have verification how good he is at that level yet.

Would add Emille Griffith, Roy Jones and James Toney. I wonder how Nard would've handled prime McClellan. I don't think Tito's power was anywhere near the G-Man's.

 

Greb fought guys like Hopkins numerous times in his career and didn't "get the **** beat outa him".

 

I dont know about GGG . . . the trial has not even started for the jury to even start to deliberate.

I would say Hearns, The body snatcher, Toney, Greb, Walker, Burley, . . . really the list goes on and on.

Remember Tito was never anything at MW and the MW division is probably the second most prestigious and deepest division in all of boxing. while Bhop is a special boxer but you are really throwing him under the bus with this type of thread.

 

MMH would whip him

 

Roy Jones jr already beat a prime Hopkins, so he would have beaten the version of Hopkins you're referring to as well
