    Let’s take the Hopkins from the Pascal fights and how would he fare against prime Stevenson?

    I think that the result of this fantasy would look like the actual bout between Sergey Kovolov and Bernard Hopkins. Adonis Stevenson packed a punch like Kovolv. Stevenson by TKO 6.

    I take Hopkins by close decision, could perhaps be by MD or SD.
    He still had a very good defense & good precision in his punches at that stage, but his lack of speed and punch volume would make it hard for him to win rounds decisively.

    Hopkins wouldn’t have had a chance in hell.

    Hopkins by that point probably had enough to still decision Stevenson. It'd be extremely dangerous in a way that the Tarver fight wasn't. However, Hopkins stylistically is literally built to batter and school a guy like Stevenson.

    If its " The Executioner" Hopkins then he wins. If its the "Alien" Hopkins then he might lose but will mostly leave it to the judges using the ten point must system.
