Zero. No such person ever existed. I don't like Hopkins, but I honestly believe that.

If the referee would do his job, plenty, but when you're allowed to cheat, hold, headbutt the entire fight, what do you expect. One punch, hold, one punch, headbutt, one punch, hold.

Someone has obviously only watched Hopkins fight when he was a OAP.

Hopkins when he was younger however didn't do that. Try watching some of his earlier fights before assuming that has been his fight style throughout his career.

All the Hawk would've needed would have been one shot.

I personally don't think any fighter in history could KO Hopkins.

Hopkins defense combined with his footwork made him really hard to hit clean, and when you did hit him clean, not only was his chin good enough to take a good shot but a fighter could never capitalise on it due to Hopkins defense and craftyness getting him out of the way of the next shot.

No person could KO Hopkins. Hearns or Hagler would have the biggest chance.

[Uturn]

Hopkins is to slick to be knocked out.
