I don't see how Hop would win. He's very unlikely to score a stoppage, which means he needs to outpoint a man with a far greater output and equal brain. Dodge the Hop right hand, you've beat him.
GGG - UD. Fact.

BHop, that old fox, has fooled everyone before. Most of humanity expected him to get slaughtered by the younger, more powerful Kovalev. Kovalev won, sure.... but BHop walked out on his own power. BHop has also bedeviled a lot of favorite fighters before. I give him a pretty good chance of outboxing and outlanding GGG, at least with what I've seen so far.
I never claimed anything I said was true. You said Hop would beat GGG. Fine. It's a fantasy fight, something that will never happen and something we will never know the result of.
Equal brain? The onus is on you to explain why Hop has a superior brain? I regard them as equal.

Heck yeah, I'd love to see it. Hopkins then and Golovkin now, maybe. Lol
If we are talking prime vs prime, then I agree that Hop would likely win and should be favored. It would be a terrific fight, as GGG has great skill, underrated defense and is an offensive juggernaut. That being said, prime Hop was faster, especially with his feet, had great power (in his prime at 160), extraordinary stamina (prime), and one of the greatest chins boxing has seen.
I see Hop boxing behind the jab and using his legs to create angles and set up punching opportunities. GGG is great at parrying and cutting off the ring, so this would make for some great exchanges and a great fight. I see Hop winning a close decision in a great fight. Another great fight would be GGG vs Toney at 160.
GGG vs Toney today would be a great fight, seriously![]()
GGG is a very underrated boxer and his power would cause B Hop problems. Prime B Hop had some sting in his punches and fit to go at a good pace. Tough call but would go with B Hop.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Bhop has always had trouble fighting somebody with a good jab that stays on the outside and doesn't let him tie up. I think prime bhop wins but has to really dig down deep to win.
