    i doubt there's anyone who can knock him out. kovalev couldn't even knock him out at this very advanced age so i doubt anyone would be able to achieve that. but are there any middleweights/lightheavyweights who would have absolutely taken a prime hopkins to school besides maybe roy jones jr.

    i got maybe ezzard charles, and archie moore but hopkins is a very technically sound fighter with ATG defense and ring iq.

    I was going to say Ezzard Charles and Moore as well. I'd give Billy Conn and Ray Robinson chances too, I could see Robinson starting with boxing and turning the pressure up later though.

    Roy Jones didn't school a prime Hopkins. Ezzard Charles maybe but definitley not Archie Moore to outbox. I would have to say nobody to be honest Hopkins is just too good.

    Michael Spinks quite convincingly. THAT one fits the criteria.

    The Willie Pastrano that beat Harold Johnson does the same to Hopkins.

    I'll take Kovalev, again. He wasn't firing on all cylinders until BHop annoyed him.
