    1. Yes, most boxing 'experts', haven't boxed, and don't know about boxing skills

    2. Showing your ignorance, Hopkins beat Mercado clearly, that was a robbery draw.

    3. Firstly Calazage whips any Monzon. Secondly lets see what Monzon can do at 43 years of age, oh thats right he retired at 35 and couldn't even live that long

    4. Yes Monzon is very basic skill wise, what does he do thats special? He has excellent stamina, and keeps using his stiff jab and right all night and this was enough to dominate his division, but his career was made off picking on smaller men. I seriously don't see him as that much better than Pavlik or Kessler

    5. The universal consensus that Armstrong is P4P top3 is clearly wrong. Put him in against Burley and he gets KO'd at Welter, so he was never the best Welter.

    Armstrong lost against plenty of contenders in his prime. Against the best of the best of all time at 126-140 (lets forget the top welters), he just doesn't come out top, he doesn't have the skill/ability to do so

    I know, he needs at least 10,000 to be taken seriously in classic. ;)

    Is Hopkins able to walk on water when you get to 15,000?

    I'd have that many if a certain middle aged scouser didn't lobby to have me banned when Freddy was defending a Pedo Mexican rapper and I asked him if he wanted to let the rapper play with his kids :fire

    So did you actually have a dinner with Conteh then?

    Hopkins histreonics at the tail end of the Calzaghe bout, leaves a very sour taste in the mouth, for anyone to say he was robbed, is talking out of their arse. Close fight 'nuff said.

    PowerPuncher is starting to lose all credibility. He's like Senya13 Jr.
