Prime Nard vs These Prime fighters, who wins?

Hopkins vs Eubank Hopkins vs Toney Hopkins vs Benn Hopkins vs Mcclellan Hopkins vs Collins Hopkins vs Calzaghe Hopkins vs Jones Seriously, the "living legend" in his prime would be lucky to win against 2 of these guys who were all around in his era. What do you think? I posted this on another board, just wondering what you think. Hopkins vs Eubank= Hopkins Hopkins vs Toney= Toney Hopkins vs Benn= Hopkins Hopkins vs Mcclellan= Hopkins Hopkins vs Collins= Hopkins Hopkins vs Calzaghe= Calzaghe Hopkins vs Jones= Jones

Hopkins vs Eubank Hopkins vs Toney Hopkins vs Benn Hopkins vs Mcclellan Hopkins vs Collins Hopkins vs Calzaghe Hopkins vs Jones <--- this already happened. hopkins became mw champ about a year after he lost to jones. True, he did win, but Hopkins was pretty green at the time. I got no problem with Jones, and I applaud him for taking a dangerous and unknown middleweight that ended up dominating the division like never before, but Hopkins would have a far better chance after he gained his technical insight. He learned a lot from that loss.

^ Yeah, but neither Hopkins nor Jones were in their primes. Especially Hopkins. Look at him holding and hitting Jones on the ropes. Hopkins looks like he has no idea what to do. It's kind of funny because when he does it now he's just so relaxed with it.

What The Machine said only I'd say Hopkins vs Roy Jones goes either way. So Draw That's actually the same reason I went with draw. I can see both winning a decision.

not sure how people are picking calzaghe when we all saw with our own eyes how easily bhop beat him and would beat him ten times worse if he wasn't old. only way eubank wins is by gift decision he had plenty of those in his career.

To the people who said Tarver had to lose a bunch of a weight. I think it's just a bullshit excuse. Tarver really just gained fat for Rocky in which he could lose easily. Look at him at the "weigh in" pictures. It's clearly Tarver just used that as an excuse. Shit he even when as far as to say his steaks were poisoned the night before. Tarver got humiliated and it's really that simple.

Hopkins vs Eubank Hopkins vs Toney Hopkins vs Benn Hopkins vs Mcclellan Hopkins vs Collins Hopkins vs Calzaghe Hopkins vs Jones This would be mine.

Hopkins vs Eubank Hopkins vs Toney (pick 'em) Hopkins vs Benn Hopkins vs Mcclellan Hopkins vs Collins Hopkins vs Calzaghe Hopkins vs Jones bolded......

Tarver never had any wars and he also started late in boxing, he was cleary in his prime. Where he went wrong was when he had to loss all of that weight from the Rockie movie and make the limit to fight Hopkins. Before that, he just came off of his third win over Jones and beat Glen Johnson in their rematch before that. I completely forgot about Tarver having to lose weight, that was his downfall. back to your point about Toney beating Hopkins. Had toney faced the Hopkins that fought DLH he would of won because of Hopkins being too inactive. The Hopkins that fought Johnson or Trinidad would of gave Toney all he could handle. I would say Hopkins from 96 to 2003 was a prime Bernard. After his fight with Joppy he changed his style to a lower workrate over defensive one punch at a time style.

slightly past his best was what i was looking for. Tarver was not in his peak against Hopkins, his fights after Hopkins proved that he is past his best.

There have been plenty of prime elite great fighters that have not even came close to accomplishing that. Hopkins was slightly past his best, but no where near totally past his prime or shot. Two years after that, he went up to light heavyweight and beat a younger recognized light heavyweight champion in his peak in Tarver. slightly past his best was what i was looking for.

this is true Nard was not an Elite fighter at this point he was still very good but no longer Elite a prime Hopkins would of knocked JT out in 8 rounds He sure went on to beat two elites( Tarver and Wright) and even gave this era'a greatest super middlweight life and death and lost a controversal split decision and had many people believeing that he won the fight. He was past his prime against Calzaghe cleary, but not much past it against De La Hoya.

His performances in his fights from de la hoya to Taylor i wouldn't call prime. Having all the titles and being number 1 P4P doesn't change the fact that physically he wasn't in his prime.

He was more closer to his prime in the De La Hoya fight. We have to remember that he had all of the middlweight titles and was number one pound for pound until he lost to Taylor.

i agree with hopkins toney being 50-50 but i lean towards bhop

Hopkins beats them all apart from Jones, Hopkins vs Toney would be a 50/50 fight though. just what i said...look up ^
