I thinks Spinks would rough up Hopkins and take a ud or late Rd stoppage.Spinks would have the physical advantage as well as his awkward style and extreme power.

[Noxy]

Agreed.

Spinks, UD, wide

[margaret thatcher]

bhop would do a lot of whining in this one

[f read]

I will take Spinks by unanimous decision. His awkwardness and Spinks Jinx prove to much for Hopkins to deal with. Spinks by a close but well deserving victory. It would not be easy but it would be convincing.

[Seamus]

Hopkins could possibly survive a 12 rounder, but anything longer and I think the referee steps in and stops it with B-Hop taking too much punishment. At 38 Hopkins skill and finesse wouldn't be enough to counter Spinks' power and stamina. If Michael could outjab a prime Qawi at 175 when he chose to, Old B-Hop would be in for serious trouble.

[DrDuke]

Spinx would batter Hopkins, if Hopkins decided to engage. Hopkins' dirty stuff wouldn't help there. He could go defensive and survive to the decision loss and that would have been the best outcome for Hopkins.

[gilgamesh]

Spinks would win this one handily. Bad style matchup for B-Hop.

X2. I can't see how Bernard Hopkins could win this one.
