Leonard - as techically brilliant as Napoles, but with more game and a better chin. UD or late stoppage
Monzon - Hopkins great fight. Definatley Monzon over current and older version of Hopkins, too busy and hard hitting and wouldn't be intimated or mind-gamed by Bhop.
With younger verions of Hopkins, Monzon just. Monzon had such a consistent output of hard effective punches that wore opponents down. Hopkins would have his moments though, and his lateral movement and ring savy would make Monzon work very hard. Monzon is not an easy target for Hopkins money punch, the right hand. With his long reach and constant piston jab, which he could throw going forward or backwards, Monzon's left would be in Hopkins face all night. Hopkins best chance to land the right is when Monzon throws the left uppercut, which he did from a very upright position. Monzon by SD
Both very interesting match ups. I think Leonard would edge a points lead and possibly stop Napoles late as Napoles had to throw caution to the wind. I think BHop might find himself bullied out of a fight for once. I think all the things that BHop draws on such as ring smarts, mental toughness and size to give himself an edge, Monzon has covered. Long night for Hopkins, I don't see Monzon stopping him but I do see a convincing points win.
I think SRL probably knocks Napoles out late. Bhop/Monzon would be a good match up. I dont know why yall thinks its a mismatch in favor of Monzon. Monzon was kinda basic with his style and BHop would give him a lot of problems. I say its an ugly decision that could go either way.
