espn had the article with people predicting who would win the fight. people actually think that bhop would win the fight. i cant see that happening in any way. i think that hagler beats him 10/10 times.

first off, hagler is arguably the greatest middleweight ever. hopkins is probably closer to #10 than #5. second, haglers style is all wrong for bhop. bhop has trouble with people who have good jabs and that throw a lot of punches.

bhop wins by making the fight ugly and tying up his opponent. this would not work on hagler at all. hagler would just keep swinging even if bhop tried to grab him. plus, im sure that he would work his jab for the fight and make bhop come to him. also, bhop can bully smaller fighters like tito but couldnt do that to hagler.

i literally cant see stylistically how bhop beats hagler.
