Thread: leonard vs hopkins at 160 who wins?

leonard supposedly beat hagler and i always said b-hop reminds me of marvin but i gotta say marvin looked stale in the leonard fight hopkins i would give the edge to and see it kinda going the way the leonard norris fight went. what do you guys think?

It doesn't matter what happens in the fight, Leonard would get the decision

leonard was well shot when he fought norris it would of been different story if they would have meet in his prime

I would give it too sugar, it's hard for me to understand when B-Hops prime was, his greatest victory was over Trinidad and that's when he was 37 (Very Old) but that's when he looked his best.

im gonna have to go with b-hop i think he would edge a close decision

this is a hard one but im having to go with my boy hopkins by decision

I would actually have to say Hopkins many of you would disagree but I'll tell you why....

Leonard was good at showboating and goading his opp...He was also a better plain out toe to toe guy than many give him credit for...EG the first hearns fight...Ray also frutrated his opponents in his favor....Hopkins would not fall for this...


Ray wouldn't get Bernard off his game plan with taunts before the fight just make him mad...But a mad hopkins is a guy still in control...He showed that in his fight with Tito and again with Tarver shit talk doesn't rattle him....In the ring Hopkins is versitile but wont be made to fight anything but his fight...Many of Rays opponents had such a hard time because he was able to make them do exactly what he wanted....Try to out box him...Try to out brawl him he knew exactly how to keep them doing what he wanted and then woulkd change at the last second to confuse them...They tried to hard to beat him at his own game...Hopkins fights his fight not the other guys....I go with bernard by decision not a blow out but close

Please! Ray Leonard would have danced around for a few rounds then the hand speed would
take over and Bamboozle Hopkins !

Leonard by late stoppage !!!!!

sad click, just for the sheer stupidity of that post.

Hopkins would win. And he would win in the same fashion in which he beat Oscar.

Leonard would win because he's too active

Yeah...you mean like he did for 14 rounds vs Taylor in 2 fights

Are we talking the Hopkins against Taylor or the Hopkins against Echols?
