    Dunno, Hopkins could punch and move for 36 minutes and that's pretty much enough to have Tua trudging around throwing little crab touch punches waiting and waiting for a moment he can get his feet set right.

    Todays Hopkins, no.....5 or 6 years ago, maybe.

    I havent seen any evidence that Hopkins could comfortably fight at around 200 pounds... I think Tua goes right to him and starts throwing, no respect at all

    Let's be real, Hopkins could block a Tua left hook and it'd still knock him into next week.

    Prime for prime this is a ridiculous matchup.

    Much as I disrespect Tua, its crazy to think he wouldnt be emboldened beyond belief by squaring up to a Middleweight.

    Tua easily, I mean really guys...

    Crazy stuff. Do people have any fucking idea the sort of power these guys can generate? Hopkins could block stuff, take it on the forearms and it would have a shocking effect on him. Ridiculous.
