Come off it, he has had some f'n stinkers. Even at his very best, he didn't step it up against Howard Eastman.
don't disagree with you there are plenty of other very good welters who would give the POWERboxing slugger tough fights or beat him. And lightweights too. he had a good run of looking mostly at that level though before it went wrong.
"howard eastman howard eastman", how many ****ing times do i need to hear about Howard Eastman from you people? Yoko Gushiken took his sweet ****ing time putting the screws to Anicente Vargas but you don't see me whittering on about it every time one of these ****ing oriental midgets comes up.
to compare with Gushiken Hopkins would need to have become burned out with the sport halfway through his weight-cutting 154 title reign and been horribly beaten up by someone not very good.
You'd suck his ****ing balls if he put them on a plate in front of you you demented little homoriental.
Well this devolved quickly. A more pertinent example mcgrain would have been: Duran let Leoncio Ortiz hang around for 15 rounds, until Carlos Eleta told him the check cleared and they could leave.
