Prime for prime, Hopkins dominates GGG to the point that it's cruel. G isn't going to knock Nard down. Hell, he isn't even going to get the chance to land. But lets say for arguments sake he did land, Nard's chin is solid so it wouldn't have an effect anyway.
Please stop making a fool of yourself. It's embarrassing.
it would be a difficult fight for me to pick, because hopkins never fought anyone like ggg. difficult to imagine hop getting floored or KO'd, but equally difficult to imagine GGG having problems respecting hopkins. imo, hop would squeak him on fouls and systematically **** him over round by round, an elbow here, a low blow here, then he would get his advantage. hopkins a sun tzu readin individual
Jacobs couldn’t drop Golovkin, but Bernard dropped a bigger Kazakhstani in Shumenov at 175 past 40 years of age...
Golovkin vs Brook 3 in the works!!
Why aren't you talking about Bhops best wins against 147-154lbers?
Jacobs would probably beat Hopkins it's true, Hopkins would need to rely on catching him hard.
Taylor could take a punch and was a legitimate world class fighter during his reign. Jacobs isn’t a world class fighter and doesn’t have a good chin, Taylor would KO Jacobs
Jermaine Taylor was the Amir Khan in his day. His glass jaw is world reknowned.

Hopkins can't win with his defensive style because GGG throws too much volume and power.
His iron cast chin will ensure that he won't be stopped.
So it will come down to GGG letting HOpkins win with single counters and running to reset+hold.
Hopkins can't run from GGG because GGG as demonstrated has very fast feet.
Golovkin cann't be held at close range. Nobody has been able to hold him due to his footwork and how low he gets on the inside. same dynamic Hopkins couldn't hold Calzaghe
Also he will be the A-side in this fight. The ref will be neutral and stop any of HOpkins' dirty tactics.
I would pick a prime Taylor to beat Jacobs. The Taylor who fought Hopkins was an excellent middleweight who could box and punch. He had a short prime and went down hill fast but the Taylor who fought Hopkins was better than Jacobs in my opinion.
he has a glass jaw. he was in his prime against Pavlik.
Jacobs will find that chin and end the fight. Hopkins simply didn't have the pop to stop him.
Why do you say Jacobs was a high volume puncher? Here are the compubox punch states of his fight with GGG. GGG threw 615 punches and landed 231 punches. Jacobs threw 541 punches and landed 175 punches. That is an average of 45 punches thrown per round for Jacobs and that is not high volume punching for a middleweight. GGG threw a more punches than Jacobs and he landed 56 more punches than Jacobs. He knocked Jacobs down and won a ud in Jacobs's home state. A prime middleweight Hopkins would also beat Jacobs in my opinion.
which is a lot more than Taylor threw to beat Hopkins

B-Hop in his older age avoided athletic fighters. He only fought Kovalev because he believed him to be the less athletic between Kov and Stevenson, while Stevenson is quicker on his feet, Kovalev is still very athletic.
