    Bernard Hopkins.:yep

    Two guys he utterly dominated did very well tonight against world class opponents, though the status in which they were in when he fought them is still up for discussion. Anybody agree that Hopkins is looking better tonight?

    Agreed

    The Tarver win looks even better now.

    "It sells."

    Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

    Tarver was severely drained for the Hopkins fight though. After shooting the Rocky movie, he had to drop a lot of weight. You can tell just by watching him.. he looked lethargic.. probably the reason Woods was the favorite in this fight...

    Yes it does, though, Tarver was not as well there as he was tonight, not that the result would have not been similiar. Not only that, but Glen Johnson is an iron man, holy **** can that old fella take a punch even now up there with the best of them...

    NEVER BEEN DOWN?

    With his COMPETITION?

    Titanium, that's Glen Johnson and Hoppy won every round and stopped him... even though he's likely a lot better now due to experience.:good

    It's fair to say the guy has a legendary chin. He's the epitome of toughness.

    I'd love to see if Johnson could turn the tables right now on Hopkins.

    I think Hopkins is one of the worst styles for him. Hopkins UD.

    Hopkins is also the only person to ever stop Johnson. That should count for something.

    It counts for a big win. I rate that Lacying of Johnson more than I do the Tito win by far.
