    Interesting fight because Rocky was pretty much indestructable. Rocky wasn't slow, and his defense wasn't as bad as most believe. Bernard was never really a puncher so I can't imagine Rocky respecting anything Bernard threw at him and if one of Rocky's overhand rights landed it would be over for Bernard.

    Bernard might outclass Rocky for most of the fight but I think Rocky would eventually catch him. Bernard was never one to get on his bicycle so I think as soon as any clinching ensued Rocky would rough Hopkins up and that would be the beginning of the end for Hop.
