Why did bhop get a pass for fighting 2 welterweights

What a dunce! :-(

 

They both won belts at JMW and mw.

But Hopkins did start and finish his career at LHW, so he was waaay bigger than them.

 

Oh lord.. if you don't know why this question is dumb then read some boxing history.

 

it could be because he was picked to lose both those fights.

 

Nobody thought Oscar would beat him, especially after his bad showing against then unknown Euro level Sturm.

 

just checked and yeah, hopkins was a 2-1 fav.

i do remember betting for dela hoya on that fight.

 

He didnt get any pass for beating smaller men: Odlh,Pavlik at 170,Trinidad.

Hopkin`s real weight class is 175 but he spent most of his career beating midgets at 160 for a reason.His first pro bout was at 175 and after he lost decided to move down,i wonder why lol.Overhyped as hell.

 

What a dufus!

It's obvious you've never boxed in your entire Playstation life.

 

BHop was expected to lose the Trinidad fight, and people thought the DLH fight would be competitive (and it was).

Basically, GGG is regarded more highly than BHop was, hence people expect more of him. BHop was considered an overachiever; GGG is considered a real top-level talent. Tell that to "the demographic", though, and they'll spew all sorts of hatred at you.

 

Trinidad was a. 4 and a half to 1 favored over bhop

 

The OP makes two glaring and amateur mistakes.

One, he attempts to equate ATG Bernard Hopkins with Nobody Golovkin. The same nobody Golovkin who ducked a senior citizen ATG, Bernard Hopkins.

Two, he attempts to equate the adequate Kell Brook to ATG Oscar De La Hoya, and great Tito Trinidad.

Nothing worthy can come from such a fundamentally flawed equation.
Scrrap thread and start anew.

 

Why don't you stop beating your meat around the bush and say why. WTF are you scared of?:huh

 

To borrow a phrase;
"We all know why"!
