Of all the young talent at 168-175,Ward is the best.He's already dominated good veteran fighters.Ghe's a younger fresher version of B-Hop himself.Ward takes it in a close close fight.

Great matchup....Ward would be able to adapt to Hopkins defensive abilities....and take a close UD....Ward takes 7 rounds based on his jab and work rate....B-Hop would get some power shots in there....but nothing that would hurt Ward.

Ward has all the tools, he would just have to make sure to throw. If he lapses or shows too much respect, Hopkins would beat him.

as long as hopkins is able to cherrypick fighters who are divisions smaller, he can hang in there...the minute he fights an equally sized, equally talented fighter, he's out of there

I suspect fans won't know the winner until the next morning. Fans are TKO'd by the 4th

Man, that would be a great fight. I don't know who would win though. It's a youth vs. experience type fight.

I think Ward wins because he is a very good athlete and he has a strong mindset that B-hop would most likely not be able to break easily.

I think it would be close but I would expect Ward to put more decent work over the course of the fight.

I would expect people to be up in arms though because the fight would most likely be very ugly if not down right dirty.

Hopkins wins, and gets no credit.
