    Both at their peaks, who wins? I think Hopkins gives him trouble with his movement and dirty tactics but Monzon earns more points by landing his right hand consistently unable to knock him out, since Hopkins chin is top notch and he's hard to hit flush in the chin. Monzon by close decision, even a draw is possible.

    Hopkins in his prime was an amazingly conditioned fighter with incredible stamina, he could easily have gone 15 rounds if he'd needed to.

    It doesn't matter. He never fought a 15 rounder so he automatically loses to everybody who has.
