Honestly? BHop would completely school Chavez Jr and would win every round.
For trolling purposes? Chavez Jr would murder Bhop and then move to HW division to challenge and also kill Wladimir and Vitali K at the same time.
I honestly bhop never had that much power even at 160 I could see chavez jr eating his punches and still moving forward kind of like a margarito type fight. Then running him into the ropes and pummeling bhops body until he takes a knee.
1. Hopkins had power at 160
2. I seriously doubt Chavez could pin Hopkins against the ropes as Hopkins' footwork is incredible (who can vividly remember Hopkins getting dominated against the ropes?)
3. Hopkins would destroy Chavez on the inside
4. Unlike Cotto, Hopkins is a master clincher who would tie Chavez if need be (which is unlikely, anyway. But he would still clinch because that's how he fights)

The fight may happen a couple of years from now, when Chavez Jr is at 168. They can fight at a catchweight of 170 or something. Hopkins will be like 50 years old and still school Chavez Jr. Every one would go crazy and praise Hopkins, but it doesn't take a Bernard Hopkins to beat JC. this guy is in wars with the Zbik's, Duddy's, and Rubio's of boxing.
