    Was something else. Just rewatched Hop vs Kovalev.
    Kovalev really took it too him at the end. A 49 year old is not supposed to be able to take that.
    Hopkins took RJJs, Trinidad's, Taylor's, Tarvers shots too. I do believe his Alien Jaw is underrated

    Not really he spent so much time hugging and fighting negative that he rarely took flush shots.

    He walked through Flush shots from known power punchers. And showed his head and chin were incredibly durable in instances of repeated bombs landing, like in the Kovalev fight. Or like the Pascal fight where he took numerous hard rabbit punches, one of which dropped him immediately, but was called a slip. Even when 51 years old, getting clobbered by Joe the plumber, falling six feet down, and cracking the back of that big gnarled head on the concrete. He got up, and wasn't even knocked out. He has an all time great chin.

    Whether he was a racist cheat or not doesn't change him having a great chin. You don't have to like the man to acknowledge that.

    He had one if not the most awkward styles and defense... He almost always saw the punches coming and he also had a spectacular way of tucking his chin...He was a huger too.. used his head a lot too like would come in with his head like a bullet.. Too me he was always a crafty but super dirty fighter which helped him get through fights withough getting hit too flush.. Lots of factors

    I don't think his chin was ever a problem, he just cheated like **** and was on the blag in nearly every fight..If it wasn't going his way he could bail out at times

    Cheater? Maybe, he tried to get an edge anywhere he could for sure.
    But racist? No. He was just trying to rile people up and promote the fight, same exact thing as throwing the Puerto Rican flag on the floor and causing a riot in Puerto Rico before the Trinidad fight.

    Unless you want him to be a racist it's pretty obvious why he said that.

    I'm white and because I'm not insecure, I didn't feel offended for a second when I heard he said that.
    Infact I chuckled.
