First holyfield gets robbed vs valuev, and now hopkins gets robbed vs poascal, his record of oldest champ should have already been broken.
no only that. had larry holmes made the grill deal, than foreman would have 100 million $ less on his bankacount. foreman truly lucky
He was lucky, ever watch his fight with Axel Schulz????? Schulz beat the **** out of him, but big George won anyway.....
George would still have held the record at heavyweight which is what matters most. And Holy? Please. Foreman was the real champ when he beat Moorer. Holyfield would have won one of about 80 belts.
He would still have been oldest linear heavyweight champ, even if holyfield got his belt from valuev Now if hopkins won he would have been once again linear light heavy champ
Valuev's paper title would have meant jack ****. I don't think what happened to Hopkins was a robbery, you got to remember Hopkins was knocked down twice.
It means everything, and hopkins schooled pascal in his backyard while getting knocked down twice he clearly won and deserved this epic win.
He wasn't very 'lucky' vs. Shannon Briggs. It's the same 'luck' Hopkins and Holyfield had. It's a funny record BTW, why does 'when you get the title' count not 'at what age did you lose it'?
Getting knocked down twice essentially amounts to a 4 round loss, and Pascal did manage to squeeze out two more rounds, so a draw isn't insane. That's not to say that the rounds Hopkins won weren't won more convincingly, but nevertheless a draw. I'd like to see a rematch as much as anybody else, but it was Pascal's title and if the situation was flipped Hopkins would be screaming foul just like the Calzaghe fight.
