Marcel Cerdan vs. Bernhard Hopkins

[Luigi1985]

Who wins at 160 lbs and why?

[bumdujour]

i saw some of cerdans fights and he sure is a powerfull guy. but skillwise, hopkins was way better.

and hopkins was also way taller, with cerdan only being 5´8......short for a middleweight.

cerdan would pressure him and land some good stuff, but hopkins wiskers were made of stern stuff.
he´d simply use his hight and jab and box box box....all the way to a clear UD.

by the way, nice avatar. always had a thing for rosi.

Cerdan is to short and, for Hopkins, would be easy to hit.

Stoppage on accumalation of punishment in a good but one-sided fight.

[brooklyn1550]

Hopkins by decision

His size, footwork, defense, and counter punching would see him through to a clear victory

[redrooster]

Cerdan was on another level. much more tenacious, better puncher, all of that. Take my word for it, Cerdan wins easy decision.

[Holmes' Jab]

Hopkins, close but clear UD.

If anyone wants to see Cerdan, I think the Zale fight is on you tube.
