I think Hopkins would've fouled Bazooka back mercilessly and won on points, or late, late TKO.

Frank Bruno or Henry Cooper?

It's not a hypothetical matchup. If it was and they were the same weight Gomez kills him.



As for Bruno or Cooper, I was going to ask that next so will leave it to someone else :TU:

This is unfair for me because Gatti is my favorite fighter ever and he got me into the sport, but I know Ottke had a long and sometimes controversial reign at 168.

Gatti I'd say did have more wrinkles in his game overall though, and he was more willing to face the top guys from time to time than Ottke ever was. I say Gatti damn it!!!

You know its a comparison of how good they are, not a direct fight, right? Gatti was three divisions south of Ottke and an inferior boxer to boot.

That's true, Irene but Gatti fought better opposition and put his ass on the line in fights he couldn't win and entertained more fans so is overall the better fighter Imo. I do agree he was an inferior boxer.

Very tough call for me, as I have not seen Cleroux in action. I go with Berbick here, even though both lost against their toughest competiton, Berbick managed to win a title. I may be way off though obviously.

Kid Lewis by the length of a city street. And not because I'm some big fan of his, either. Berg was a major overachiever, the way I see it.
