Could BHop disarm GGG?

[MELLY-MEL...]

Current? Hell noooo.

^^^ I knew about Chino beating Broner... don't know about this guy tho. (Silver)


But yeah, I see prime Bhop being too savvy and scrappy on the inside for GGG. GGG has yet to show me truly good inside skills though he is quite good, don't get me wrong. Pretty much how Bhop dismantled Tito is how he would get at GGG. Get inside and SCRAP in a phonebooth...

Prime Hopkins has a good chance of defeating any middleweight in history. He was one of the best middleweights of all time. The current 50 year old Hopkins would get knocked out in my opinion. I think Kovalev didn't go for the KO out of respect for Hopkins. GGG would go for the KO and get it like he always does.

Hopkins would have to be a "future" opponent. Team GGG said so.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I think GGG's style coupled with his mean streak would break Hopkins down over twelve and take a UD in a clear cut win. Not that Hopkins wouldn't push him as GGG has never fought a fighter like Hopkins. Of course, Hopkins never really fought a GGG either. Kovalev is close and I see Kovalev beating a younger Hopkins as well. These are two guys who don't bend to Hopkins will or fall into his mind games.

[Raonic]

Right now, no chance. At 160, I'd probably prefer Hopkins.

Though I don't mind GGG facing Hopkins. Practically everyone praises Kovalev high on their list on P4P after he beat Hopkins.

[Bram]

In their primes I'd take Hopkins and I think it'd be a downright ghoulish fight to watch. But the athletically gifted spoiler BHop was during his prime wins a wide decision over GGG in my opinion.

Current, of course not.
Prime, probably.

Middleweight bernard would be too skilled for Golovkin

[Godsfly]

people keep saying power power (pertaining to golovkin) do you nimwits get that it wouldn't matter against a prime hopkins? hopkins had an extremely strong body & chin. very durable work horse like fighter.

thats the very first thing thats gonna go against hopkins. he would take that right away golovkin wouldn't have anymore power.......hopkins could beat golovkin alone just with trickery. in the glen johnson fight he killed him with smothering shots. hitting johnson off the break. stutter stepping and then wacking jonhson repeatedly when he least expected it. golovkin would look like he's trapped in sand and his face would probably be beaten bloodied and ripped.


i don't know who in their right mind would pick golovkin against a prime for prime hopkins. athleticism gives hopkins problems not ultra slow guys like golovkin who doesn't even move their head. if you gave hopkins a fighter like golovkin (with as much power as you wanted) you basically just gave him a gift.
