What? As far as Hopkins being an exception and not an example, that's false. Plenty of fighters have had long careers without being knocked out...
This is just silliness. I don't understand this argument. A diagnosis of Parkinsons is the end of a boxing career. You can't get a license to box...
He is what we are comparing to RJJ. Also, I'd argue that yes, if you start getting knocked out a couple of times brutally and are losing fights...
More bogus illogical arguing. Who knows how these fighters would have fared. Do you? I mean let's take the HOPKINS example, and it even works...

Bradley fought very well last time. Be great if he could take both Pac and Money out. I'm rooting for him.
On the serious side, I do hope he stops fighting soon cause he is just begging for future neurological problems with these kinds of performances.
He needs boxing lessons period. How to hold his hands, how to defend his head to avoid brain issues, how to position the body, how not to place...
Round 3 in particular. I saw this fight on TV and he was shaking like a leaf... super jittery. I felt his fear....
I like Canelo and was for him versus Cotto but GGG would beat the **** out of him. I say this as not the biggest GGG fan. I don't think this will...
His weaknesses were his strengths. He had mucho athleticism and speed and reflexes, AND he built a style around it. He wasn't a great boxer with...
An excellent but important question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09xIHtetjYg
Interesting: Should Roy have fought more elite fighters to prove his true worth? Yes: 82 No: 26 Honestly I thought it would be a little closer.
