Prime Hopkins vs Krusher

[The Viper]

Would it be any different? 10-15 years ago?

Easy work Kovalev. Hopkins has no chance. There's a reason his team ducked Kovalev last June.



Expect plenty of "prime Hopkins embarrasses Kovalev!!"

Same fight. Horrible style matchup. Prime hop would still not be able to take the power.

[JaguaresMx]

what was Hop's prime weight though?

not sure it would have been different.

[swagman]

If he's almost 50 how was his prime 10 years ago lol...he probably should have retired 10 years ago.

All I know is Bhop being sent down to Earth

[Dirk Diggler UK]

It would be a different fight 5 years ago, let alone 10-15 years ago. Hopkins had very little to offer tonight.

I do think Kovalev would always be an issue for him. For a massive puncher, he's active and athletic.

Same fight. Horrible style matchup. Prime hop would still not be able to take the power.

I 2nd Kovalev is too much. Calzaghe, Taylor twice, and Dawson didn't happen. Neither did the prime Roy Loss.
