Pacquiao vs. Hopkins (if they were in the same weightclass)

[BillyBoxing]

I thought Tito & De la Hoya was going to beat Hopkins and man I was wrong. Prime Hopkins would destroy Prime Pac Man. You see Tito and Oscar didn't want a rematch.

LOL I never thought DLH would beat Hopkins.

Oscar won few rounds, he did better than what I expected.

prime v prime, pacquiao does to hopkins what most volume punchers with tremendous skill have done, beat him. Hops might have some success in the middle rounds but Pac would be too fast, too accurate, too powerful.

Who beat Hopkins in his prime??? Roy Jones? was Hopkins even prime then?? when was Hopkins prime?

[Larry the boss]

This, I think a middleweight version of Pacquiao beat Hopkins by decision based on speed and his workrate.

Hopkins has problems with speed, he lost against all the fast fighters he faced, Roy, Calzaghe... he also struggled with J.Taylor's speed.

I think Hopkins is too shy and cautious and unlike Marquez wouldn't take enough risks to counterpunch and figure out Manny.

He was over ****ing 40 against Joe and Taylor..and the 1st Roy fight was no shut out it was 8-4 at best and was Hopkins even prime then?

Why are people posting fights about Hopkins over 40??? ohhhh thats right cause he went over a decade undefeated and then even those defeats were questionable.... WHEN WAS HOPKINS PRIME EXACTLY???

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Right now, and probably in their primes manny would beat hopkins

Hopkins never did good vs speed or boxing ability... He doesnt have one win vs a top p4p boxer with losses to roy, jermain, chad, calzaghe

Hopkins only beats come forward sluggers like tarver, pavlik, tito, etc....


If they fought, hopkins would be looking for a way out by the 3rd or 4th round

Pac would do to BH, similar to what RJJ did in the first fight.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Agreed. I would say from 31 to 36/37.

I don't know when Hopkins was prime but I know for a fact he struggles with fast handed fighters.

Bhop...
The man in his prime was a monster and outside of Jones he looked fantastic every fight.
Who is to say if Manny was a 160 fighter would he have the same speed.... I don't think so... so he wouldn't match Jones...

Bernard has never been KO'D and Pacquiao wouldn't do it if a prime Jones couldnt.

manny beats his ass by applying constant pressure with devastating combos.
