    B-Hop 52 next month he truly is an alien
    Look what happens when other fighters similar age try fighting father time.

    I don't like Smith's personality at all and i hope he gets DESTROYED but he is NO JOKE KO Fonfara rd 1 WOW. This is a tougher fight for B-Hop than Pavlik due to size and age. I will be on the edge of my seat watching this fight

    WAR B-HOP!!!!!

    Father time is the only undefeated opponent in boxing.... But poor comparison. Ruddock was inactive for well over a decade, and doesn't have anywhere near the boxing brain of Hopkins. That said.. Could definitely go all wrong for Hopkins tonight. Eventually someone like Joe Smith will just have too much for Hopkins. Is it tonight though? We'll find out!

    Yeah but Carman doesn't have the skill of Joe smith and vice versa Ruddock doesn't have the skill of B-Hop. I'm just saying it's nuts B-hop is fighting a Top 10 light heavy power puncher at basically 52.

    Ruddock at 52 had been a shot fighter for like 20 years. Hopkins has had good performances dating back not that long ago and his style is far more suited for longevity.

    Hopkins isn't being drug tested , he got a vada exemption, while smith is bring tested . maybe PEDs will counter act the aging or maybe that's what hopkins is aiming for

    At his age he might have been able to get a TUE exemption.

    i know Hopkins is a Gladiator and would slap me for saying this but I slightly fear for his health in this fight.

    Hope I'm wrong I just can't even comprehend why a millionaire is still fighting at basically 52. Two year lay off after a war and fighting a bomber.

    I think B-hop UD but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he got KO'd

    A complete exemption from any drug testing at all? Do 50 year olds not even pee?

    Have to be worried when a 52-year-old man steps into the ring with a bona fide contender. That I know nothing about Smith except the Fonfara fight makes it even more ominous. Picked Hopkins for the win and hope he'll pull through. He'd better f*cking retire afterwards though.

    There is always the chance he gets served up by a shot tonight. I think he has enough left to tough out an uneventful UD and get out unscathed.

    Doesn't matter that he's a millionaire. As we all know, the guy's not doing it for the money. Like so many others, he just doesn't know when to quit. It's been his life for three decades and it must be hard for him to give it up. Fortunately for him, he's a freak of nature. I don't understand it either but I hope to God that this will indeed be his last fight and that he gets the swansong he deserves tonight.

    C'mon, man. The guy's an all-time great. Two HOF careers rolled into one. At the top of the sport for decades. Yes, he's a salty mother but you have to give the man his dues.

    Oh he's a crafty GOOD boxer no doubt. HOF fighter yeah. That's all I'm giving him. Some of the things he's spewed in the past... nah. Can't say I don't hope he gets tagged in this fight.
