Ward (current) vs Hopkin (Pavlik)

would be a weird fight to watch,they fight the damn same

 

Pavlik was a bum but Ward has beaten superior fights just as convincingly, if not more so in Kessler, Froch and Dawson than Pavlik.

 

No, Hopkins would out Hopkins Ward.

 

Ward.

 

Ward would beat that Hopkins, probably. Very interesting fight tactically and technically though. Peak for peak I think you'd have to favor Hopkins because he just did most things that bit better, but it'd always be a very competitive and interesting fight.

Hopkins retained his foot speed, he still has it now. That gives him an argument to dictate the range. Dawson has quick feet, but sloppy footwork with no intelligence behind it.

Nard would not allow Ward to dictate, and he's one of very few (And I mean hardly any) who could do that to Ward in the last twenty years.

What does Ward do, when Hopkins establishes his own jab, ties Ward up. Ward tries to work on the inside, only to find out that the guy standing opposite knows more tricks than he does.

 

Ward, pretty easily I'd imagine. My opinion would probably be different if it was a prime BHOP.

 

Ward shades that Hopkins, but not a prime one.

 

Prime Hopkins never had ths speed Ward currently has but he did hit harder.
