    could a prime Hopkins have won a HW title ?

    could a prime Hopkins have won a HW title ? i think he could if he could bulked up enough he is smart enough and defensive enough to negate some of the physical disadvantages and quick enough and his workrate was phenomenal in his prime he ALWAYS comes in great shape he is not like Toney who abuses his body

    i think Hopkins could beat a Ruiz for sure and if Michael Moorer,Tommy Morrison,Foreman aged 40 + can win a world title i dont see why Hopkins could not

    a 14 stone Hopkins would be enough to beat Ruiz IMO

    I find this an easy question to answer.

    Sam Peter is ****. So yes,he could have done it a few months ago.

      THE heavyweight title? No, but a hw strap? yes. Hop vs Lewis for the true championship would be a mismatch with the skilled canadian/brit/jamican Lewis stopping him or winning by a wide decision.
