I was determined to try to hit him so I could put him down, Hopkins said at the post-fight press conference. Did I look like I was trying to survive in the 12th? We was rolling. I couldve tried to hold him or grab him like most sensible people wouldve tried to do, right? I was trying to swing and hopefully get some shots in. I wasnt going to run around and hold and do things to just get by and say I survived, he said. Me and Sergey was throwing punches all the way until the bell ring. Yes, Im always a smart-thinking fighter first, but sometimes you just got to bite down, man.
Hopkins is obviously smarter than Floyd... At least he can string a sentence together in proper English, Floyd can't. atsch
He's 49, he knew he was losing and went for broke. If you're going to judge his one decision in one single fight at the end of his career as a proper situation to compare with Mayweather or anyone else then you're mentally incapable.
Hopkins has fought the better opposition, Floyd just wins because he drags corpses in the ring. Against Maidana he looked beyond terrible, the few times Maidana was dodging he looked like an untouchable artist, Floyd was swinging clueless. He also held and clinched every single time Maidana came in reach, waiting for the crooked referee to split them and constantly watching the clock. Hopkins is smarter and better than Fraud.
Let's not get carried away. Whether it's outside the ring or in it, no way in hell is snaggletooth grandpa as smart as the man they call the PPV KING. He's obviously called that for a reason.
Floyd would not lose to a Jermaine Taylor caliber fighter....twice I'm gonna leave Chad Dawson out of this
As if you're saying that PAC is only going for a payday only when fans all over the world wants Floyd to fight him but hes scared to death until now. Boxing is a sport just like other sports where you win or lose and earn money professionally not by fraud as people can see it.
Floyd is nowhere near as smart as Hopkins, both inside and outside the ring. Hopkins has better defense than Floyd and fights better opposition. Does Maidana even know what a feint is? Can Maidana even throw a proper punch? Lol. Caveman Maidana was popping Floyds head back and Floyd still needed a personal refree so he could hold on to Maidana like he was in love with the man. It was a truly pathetic display against a very amateurish opponent. Meanwhile, a 50 year old Hopkins just went 12 competiive rounds with a perhaps the best puncher in the sport who also went in with a solid amateur background. Of course Hopkins threw punches at the end because he was behind in the fight and he was trying to actually win the fight. Unlike ***** ass Floyd who won't even fight Pacquiao.
Not even in the same league as Mayweather. Floyd is so far ahead of Hopkins it isn't funny. Mayweather is on a whole nother planet.
