CONFIRMED: Hopkins is a believer of 'semel rumpunt ipsi non veniunt retro'

Sad, but he probably never will be the same fighter that he was before the KO loss.

 

Duran is the exception of all rules.

 

How can people say Hatton was never the same, we never got a chance to see him after the Pac fight. His less than stellar performance in his return could have as much to do with his 3 year lay-off of abusing his body as his knock out loss.

 

Although it starts as a physical "crack", I believe it is the mental state of a fighter that is hardest to repair after a brutal KO. The KO of Marquez over Pac is already getting listed among the top 10 of all times! Some even calling it the best ever, considering the superstar status of Pac and JMM age. That has to really rattle Pac's mental state.

I hope Manny does make a great comeback, just let sleepy dogs lie and don't go for another Marquez fight.

 

Paciquaio had gotten KTFO back in the lower weights, but he was like 17 at the time. But it was devastating, and people mistakenly thought it was a body shot (which is absolutely ******ed that anyone would think that), but it was a overhand, loading right with full leverage. He was able to come back from that, but he was 17 years old then, so his body was different and he was not a man yet, so I guess it's a different situation. Some people in boxing have come back after being absolutely KO'd terribly, but they are really the exception to the rule, honestly. Most of the time when they crack in that way, it's all over. Pac had the kind of KO where he was out cold for a while honestly. Even when he got KO'd back when he was 17, he wasn't out cold, he was at least moving a little bit. All the exceptions to the rule like Gene fullmer and Duran weren't KO'd completely unconscious for a long time, they got up right after the KO. Became gun shy after Tarver KD and tko loss, his punch resistance was hurt then, but it got totally obliterated when Johnson KO'd him months later with the kind of KO that left him completely unconscious.

 

this is why Mayweather fans are bitter. :rofl

 

Hopkins of course failed to cite the profoundly innovative and scientific work on this topic by luminaries such as Zakman, Rico Spadafora, and Professor I.C. Chins. That's not a particular surprise though; just as he's a dirty cheat in the ring, he's an unoriginal plagiarist outside of it.

 

Need to work on your conjugation brother.

 

Your latin sentence should be:

Semel comminuunt non redeunt.

Your Latin is made of pure glass.
