No way Hopkins can even put a dent in Mercer. He doesn't have the strength to play a hit and clinch game with Ray and his old legs wouldn't allow him to move enough at heavyweight. Nard gets dominated.
Hopkins is NOT a big man. I was surprised at how small light-heavyweights like Pascal, Dawson and Hopkins looked in person.
Pretty big difference between a random guy on the street who's '175' and a Light heavyweight boxer, tho, size wise. I'm usually surprised by how big boxers I meet seem, since they're so well put together. Most of them would weigh allot more if they weren't training to lose weight.
Steve Dave's obviously a big freak though, so they'd seem small to him. He gets his shoes made at the dockyard.
