Lets say the Hopkins of 2005, around the JT fights. moves up and goes in the current Super 6. Does he come out with 0 Losses?

I don't think that the 2005 Hopkins would have been much, if anything, better than the 2o10
Edition. It's difficult to quantify that scrambling, clutching, butting, "style" as improving or degrading during any given period.

Perhaps the Hopkins of, say, 1990-95 was better, that is, more like the conventional boxer.

He decisions everybody. I think he may have had the ability to stop Dirrel and Ward because they are chinny and he definitely would've KOd that version of Taylor that fought Abe. He decisions Abraham, Kess, and Froch.

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

Short answer NO. None of them would beat B-Hop back then.

[disolly]

no, unless he gets a couple bad decisions in his favor. hell, taylor beat him twice that year, and I wouldn't think jermain would go undefeated. the jermain of 2005 of course.

could have just said loses to the black guys and beats the white guys. I think he beats the Taylor of today, Dirrell, Kessler, and Froch. And I think he would lose to Ward and Abraham. I really believe that Ward's style is very similar to BHops and I think AA has a very hard style for a Hopkins style fighter.
That could change come saturday night though.

No. That version of Hopkins would have won the Super 6 I think.
