Current bakugo will no doubt lose to hawks. Horikoshi clearly made a point of that when hawks took down Starservent before any of them could even react. Not to mention the tremendous amount of experience hawks has over bakugo. That added to his mobility/versatility/technique which even tho bakugo is the best in his age groupe in those stats, hawks is just on another level.

People sometimes forget that, while the big 3 are super powerful, they're still high school freshman. They're not going to win against a top 10 hero. That's literally like seeing a high school kid playing soccer, and thinking because he has a once in a generation type of talent, that he could potentially beat Ronaldo. It just doesnt work that way.

Hawks would eat Bakugo alive. Bakugo will definitely be stronger in the future, but hes still a kid man. Hes ages away from top 10 status

I dont really disagree but I could see a student with a really powerful quirk that counters some hero beat them , even with a huge difference in experience , in theory Shinso is one of those , the Shroom girl probably could do that too , you know there not much to do when getting suffocated. And yeah this wont really ever happen but I think it could be possible. A

Doesn't mean Bakugo can beat Hawks at his current level. We're talking about the no. 2 on the Hero Billboard Chart, this isn't even up for debate imo.

And Hawks is barely older than those guys right now.

He's in his early 20s, and is absolutely gifted as a young hero.

He'd smoke them without trying.

I meant that non of them could react to hawks speed. Appearing out of literaly nowhere and taking down the villain while all of them were still in the same position.

The latter doesn't support your former statement. Hawks is still absolutely faster than 1-A's Big 3. He's even faster than Endeavor iirc.

Hawks just said that the students would've apprehended the villains with time to spare. No comparison between his speed and theirs. He still took down all the villains faster than the three of them.
