Could Eubank./Benn beaten Hopkins?

[AintGottaClue]

Oh what a suprise You've blatantly been hating on Benn, Eubank and Brit fighters in loads of threads, so it was no suprise you'd say that.

what a surprise a guy with eubank in his avatar and is a blatent londoner lover say that benn and eubank can beat hopkins

To suggest that Benn & Eubanks 'couldnt' beat Hopkins (as in "NO" chance) is plain foolish,ofcourse they could !

The question is how many times in 10 would they beat him ? I think that HOP would beat Benn more times than Benn and Eubanks would beat HOP put together and HOP would beat Eubanks more times than Benn and Eubanks would beat Hop put together.

HOP back in the early 90s tho would lose to Eubanks most times,and its a interestin point that the guy brings up earlier that Eubanks is actualy younger than HOP ! so I think HOP mist be a gr8 example of a fighter getting better with age like a fine wine,

Bernard Hopkins is the most grossly over-rated fighter in the world. As Emmanuel Steward (a fan of Benn and Eubank) said, here's what Manny said - "The last world-class, natural Middleweight that Hopkins fought was Roy Jones, and he lost every round." Trinidad and Oscar were just 'blown-up' Welterweight's so Hopkins has NEVER beaten a decent Middleweight because 160 has been empty for 10 years now and that's why he stands alone at 40 years old - a testiment to how poor 160 has been for atleast 10 years.

This sums it up nicely - Back in the 1980s and 1990s, a never-ending conveyorbelt of top fighters graced the division - Marvin Hagler, Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Mike McCallum, James Toney, Gerald McClellan, Iran Barkley, Sumbu Kalambay, Felix Trinidad, Michael Nunn, Julian Jackson, Bernard Hopkins, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank and Steve Collins to name just a few.

But nowadays the division has a distinctly shallow look and Hopkins stands alone.

To be honest with you, ALL of those names mentioned beat Hopkins! Yes Hagler, Jones, Leonard, Hearns, Duran, McCallum, Toney, McClellan, Barkley, Kalambay, Trinidad, Nunn, Jackson, Benn, Eubank, Collins - most of those guys are Younger than Hopkins and were all rated above Hopkins. It's just that they all either moved up in weight or retired, yet Hopkins remained.

Hang on a min , Hopkins did beat Trinidad lol !

But i see ur point. But my argument would be that HOP has gotten better with age like a fine wine,so no he wasnt at his best when he was 25-30 hes at his best when he was 35-40 becos he works his ass off and learns with experience and doesnt get lazy man.

We'll see if this post is valid the night he fights Taylor.

All I can say is, he really made Eastman look like a *****. And what's funny is Eastman dominated your ***** *****-made WWF division over there.

Bernard Hopkins' legacy currently is far greater than any fighter from your continent, ever, could say for themselves...Benn, Lewis, Calzaghe, any of them. Hatton won't even live up to it because of his aggressive style, he will take hella punishment in the top echelon- ESPECIALLY if him and floyd have a trilogy -i like the guy but he'll reign maybe 4-5 years TOPS, assuming he doesnt get punked by mayweather in the first six rounds.- so your opinion is overlooked, as usual.


edit: Eubanks beat hopkins? ROFLMAO. eubanks was always an A- fighter, kind of like bruno, the loser that england loved.

That post is abit of a mess

As for Eastman, the guy sucks and always has done. He's nobody really. I caused him more problems in sparring than Hopkins did.

steward also said that he noticed benn could throw triple jabs in quick succession with ease while taking steps forward at the same time but didnt really use this hardly ever.
