Dream Match: Hopkins vs Leonard @ 160

not really a dream match would be unfair as hopkins is too big. dream matches are those that are very FAIR. hopkins would win due to size and skill like against DLH.

its a real close one, but leanord was just a bit better than Hops, busier and faster he wins UD but its close

To be fair to Leonard, he performed pretty well at 160 against the then Undefeated Middleweight champ in Hagler who was supposed to put a beating on Leonard.

BHop would be a different task for Leonard than Hagler was. BHop wasn't ever a huge puncher @ 160 to where he'd have that type of advantage over Leonard. Bernard's always had issues with busy fighters (Jones early on and Calzaghe), Leonard IMO would frustrate Bernard and go on to a UD but in an entertaining fight.

And i don't see how BHop vs Sugar Ray would be unfair @ 160. Bernard wasn't THAT much bigger than Leonard at 160 (if he even was).

Good fight, but Bhop's size and strength win this one.
