Hopkins vs...

[Gamer30168]

I'll play along with this scenario. If we assume Bhop is in his prime and we also assume that all 4 of the others are also in their prime I guess it comes down to exactly what catch weight are we talking about. I'm ready to dismiss Cotto and Marg. right off hand. Pac makes it interesting but might not be able to overcome the size difference. I think both Floyd and Pac could win a decision if the fight was even remotely close. For some reason I don't see the judges doing Bhop ANY favors. I tend to think in all 4 cases the size difference makes the difference for Bhop. He very well could win all 4 of these fantasy fights

Hopkins knocks them all out. He is a middleweight and later a light heavyweight. Is there a point to this thread?

Cotto,
Margarito,
Manny Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather

All at catchweights. So if Oscar could fight a catch wate with Hopkins why can't margarito or cotto do so as well? What about Floyd he fought a middleweight being at El Canelo. Also this would be just nuts if I PAC went this high in weight. It would be definitely his highest division.

So cotto Prime for prime would get a beat down from Bernard just merciless much like la hoya fight. The only middleweight he fought was one with crutches LOL.

Prime Tony was a large welterweight. He was bound to move up in weight. He was a swarmer very face first relentless punching machine with an aggressive crowd-friendly style. Hopkins was the dirty bigger man this would have been a good scrap but Hopkins has a knockout punch plus good defence.

I don't even think Mayweather or Pacquiao could hang with Bernard he's just too damn big his reach is too long and he is too skilfull and ring savvy I guess out of all four Bernard can probably go 4 and o.

Bernard Hopkins beats them all at a catchweight between 154-160 (let's just say 157). Cotto would be too small as you said. Margarito never had much success above 147 to be honest and Hopkins be too slick. Manny would be waaaay too small and if anything he would be manhandled trying to get inside. Last but not least, Floyd and BHop would be snoozer but I see Bernard winning. He would simply be too big and physical.

Bernard was a career middleweight and over

He be drained to death at 154

Cotto don’t need a catchweight Cotto fought at 160 for belts

Bernard ruins Miguel
