Bernard Hopkins: More glory past 40

It doesn't bother some people that he is taking advantage of these young prospects who haven't even reached their primes yet and haven't gained the proper experience.........Or do I sound like a hater

 

Pavlik was the only young fighter he fought past 40, and he was the Middleweight champion of the World who had 2 victories over a man that beat Hopkins twice.

So basically, 'what you talking about fool' ?

 

legend.

 

i want Hopkins to rematch JT

 

He's at it again with Adamek though. I take nothing away from Hops, he is definately in the Top 50 easily, but the Pavlik victory and (if he beats Adamek) will be sort of water down to me.

 

Adamek hasn't been a young prospect since he fought Briggs way back in 05

 

Here's a big "what if" for ya. What if Bernard does beat Adamek, and then Pavlik beats Abraham and the Williams/Wright winner, and in the mean time, Taylor beats Froch and either Bute or Kessler? I'm not saying it will all go down that way, but if it did, where would you rate Hops as an ATG?

 

nice vid

 

A 43 yo beating a 26 yo, doesn't get any better than that.

 

You do realize that Pavlik had beaten JT twice prior to his fight against 'nard dont you?

 

Hops is a future HOF'r for sure. Enough said.

 

Styles make fights. JT was active enough to out hustle an old Hop, JT was taylor made (pun intended) for Pavlik's one dimentional style, while Pavlik was tailor made for Hops.

 

You are missing the point. You earlier said nard was "taking advantage" of younger fighters. However, the "younger fighter" you mention had two victories over a seasoned verteran figheter who had twice beaten 'nard himself.

 

Adamek is a mature fighter; he's a long God Damn ways from "green." Pavlik started boxing when he was 9 freaking years old and was 89-9 as an amature, and had 34 pro fights including two wins over Taylor, so basicallly, all I am really saying is, shut the **** up.
