    Marciano was mentally tough...no head games with The Rock...he used to sleep before fights...BH would not get into his head...

    I like to think of boxing in light of the Heisenberg Principle and consider that all fights are taking place at all times it's just a question of which fights we are watching at that given moment.

    Well I guess if I was smoking the blue meth then I might think Hopkins could go the distance with Marciano.

    I've not seen any argument justifying rocky doing what no man has done before him and stopping b-hop.

    Hell b-hop could probably go in against povetkin and do the job tomorrow.

    I'm watching Duran-Cervantes. It's glorious.

    I reckon there's only two times when I ain't objective with my posts and that's any relating to god himself or any relating to big events that have hype surrounding them (I always get caught up in them)

    When the Hopkins thing dies down I'll probably be able to pick more reasonably but for now I'm still wallowing in the glory of his greatness.

    If you can't see that this Hopkins would get ****ed over in a 15 round fight with lesser fighters than Marciano it's because you're biased. And I'm not joking.

    I an very comfortable with Hopkins being a H2H light heavy the level of say, Vonzell Johnson.
