    very true odi, the 44 year old was embarrassing. why indeed fight a 44 yr old as your "greatest win"/"almost a loss"

    My point is that there’s no need to bring Hagler’s name into this discussion.

    3G getting beaten by his first elite in his 9 title fight run, just underlines how well Hopkins did to navigate and beat 5 elites on his 20 fight MW run. plus others outside it.

    "were these", pal, I help your English.

    JOhnson, Trinidad, Joppy, DLH, Brown (wins).

    and 3G's was Canelo (loss).

    If we are to include losses to elites like YOU ARE FOR 3G then we can throw in another 4 for Hopkins - Roy Jones, Dawson, KOvie, Taylor.

    Thats 9 altogether to 3G's 1 elite he lost to. You're Spartacus.

    Not the same. As I previously stated "white boy" is a term used by Whites and Blacks in America. Calling a Black person a boy, is actually racist, and has roots in racism going back to the slavery days. It's one of those weird things in America, but if you know the history, than you know that's how it is. Calling someone white boy, is not the same as calling them a honky, or a cracka. As I previously stated, several white boys vouched for Hopkins when other whites cried racism on that confrontation with Calzaghe, and if you know a little bit about Hopkins, you'd know better than to call him a racist. Real racists, don't work with Black's or other minorities. They don't do charitable work with Blacks or other minorities. They don't befriend blacks or other minorities. Can't say that about Hopkins.

    7th round TKO. Or were you talking about the first fight where they fought on about even terms for three rounds until Mills Lane pushed Hopkins out of the ring? That sucked for Allen. He was robbed of a chance at something. That was the best he ever looked in those three rounds and change.

    If you referred to me as a "white boy" in the circumstances that super Joe and Hopkins where in at that time is take it as an insult..which it was intended to be id pull out your eyeballs.....

    The phrase white boy is racist if the term black boy is.

    no, blacks never enslaved whites.

    Sorry to destory your argument. Its just todays anti-PC guys who want to "equal the field". If they want to equal the field then they need to offer themselves and their descendants up as slaves for half a millenium.

    Then they can take offence in an equal way.
