    Hopkins that beat Trinidad vs Ward as of right now at catchweight of 166 pounds in Las Vegas in a "60-40 I'll tear your ass up" type of fight:bbb

    Bernard decision. Better defense counterpunching and he's beat better competition

    Ward is definitely the type of fighter that would trouble Hopkins. I think Ward might even be favourite to edge it, although a younger Hopkins might be able to find a gear against Ward that he wasn't against Jones and that the older version wasn't against Taylor.

    I think Hopkins is better and greater, but I think the style advantage closes a marginal class gap here.

    Hard to say. Has Ward peaked yet?

    And what peak do you choose from B-Hop?
