The question is while B-hop is moving backwards (and he will or it would be a trench fight ) , would he be able to land many punches or enough to win rounds without getting caught ?
IMO B-hop has problems gaining points when he fights deffensive ...
Fighters like Tarver mostly stay in one spot . They don't move forward that much and move backwards a bit ...
Marciano just comes forward ... Yeah , maybe B-hop can avoid him but if he doesn't land anything while doing so he is not going to win rounds ...

I think Hopkins actually outboxes him for a while, but despite ernard's ultra-cautious approach the size diffenece (which is actually not very big but considerable nevertheless) would tell and his punches would break Hops down eventually

if Walcott or Charles can't beat Marciano then neither can Hopkins. Marciano KO 8.
I also think Hopkins could out box him for a few rounds but it wouldnt take long for the train that is Marciano to steam roll him, KO within 10.

At last a matchup for Marciano vs. a modern fighter where a size differance is not a handycap. Marciano by knockout, sooner or later(probably sooner).
