    **** these *******'s are insecure. The only thing this guy is doing is pre-emptively trying to down grade Hopkin's wins so Manny isn't as seriously challenged in the greatest fighter of our generation discussion. Thats all this comes down to.

    He can type whatever he wants about me being crazy and this doesn't have anything to do with...blah blah blah. You type with your mind, you believe with your heart. You can believe whatever you want about this being overrate or whatever you want to believe but he still beat a legit champion whom at best one or two guys in the division would be able to beat. That in and of itself deserves respect.

    Yeah I didn`t see anything out of Dawson tonight that would make me think that fight goes any different next time round. Maybe he gets knocked out next time. I don`t know. Pascal actually looked better in this fight then he did in the first one to be honest. He just didn`t get the knock downs to give him two point rounds in rounds he would have otherwise lost.

    It was a special victory . But how was it all that amazing considering Hopkins probably wasn't any more then a 2-1 underdog. In my mind, Hopkins was the favorite, so how is it so amazing? What Foreman did against Moorer was impressive, because it was unexpected... Hopkins victory wasn't really unexpected.


    It's an amazing accomplishment what Hopkins has been able to do at such an old age , but it's not like he beat Godzilla. He's picking his opponents very carefully , and taht's understandable at his age.

    Btw, all you floyd fanboys or w/e stop pulling the race card or this *******s ****. This has nothing to do with Pacquiao or race . I've done nothing but give Hopkins props in the past. Most of my favorite fighters are black. Play that **** with somebody else, shallow minded ****s.

    it was a great win specially with hopkin's age. he should be surpassing floyd by now in ATG. probably entering the top 10 p4p list again.

    So styles make fights. And Pascal is tailor made for Hopkins, and Hopkins knew taht... that's why he fought him instead of Dawson. Anyone wanna argue with that?

    It was a great peformance last night but neither fighter should be proud with all that illegal **** going on, they are lucky the ref was incompetent. I don't know if dawson would beat bhop-it doesnt seem like he has the heart-talent yeah but not heart if he let a fighter like Pascal beat him.

    I didn't think it was possible to hate on this victory.

    People are surprising.
