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

I wouldn't say either whip the other, but I always go back and forth over Hagler-Hopkins. Hagler by the new weigh-in standards would've been a JMW. He would've put a lot of pressure and good volume on Nard, but Nard would've made it a real ugly fight. I could see either winning the decision.

 

you're*

 

I don't believe that Hopkins had yet reached his prime in that fight. In fact, I think his loss to RJJ actually helped BHOP to elevate his game.
Remember, that fight was just for the vacant IBF title.

I believe Hopkins was at his peak in '97 when he beat up on Glen Johnson.

 

No you don't

 

I think he means physical peak. That's back when Hopkins used steam on his punches.

 

You're right.
Neither Hopkins nor Jones were at their PRIME boxing ability when they faced one another for the IBF title.

 

So the question is who would beat a chinny overweight welter at middle?

I like Trinidad , but really come on.

 

Rob evens could beat Hopkins if he turned pro but at the minute Rob is 3 time amateur heavyweight of britain and he easy beat Bernard Hopkins

 

You mean that middleweight phenomenon Felix Trinidad whose only win at middleweight was against ATG William Joppy :rofl


You know . . . . . . . . Joppy, the man whose 5 best wins are . . . . er . . . . er :rofl

How could anyone beat that Hopkins?

You must think Winky Wright is a top 5 ATG after the way he mauled Trinidad

 

:rofl :deal

 

Kicking sand in the face of William Joppy. You must be Demarcus Corely.
