    Yeah, what a fighter. Amazing what he did at his age. He was very, very good in his prime, but it's the longevity that really sets him apart from anyone else.

    Made no sense really. He was a freak.
    Perhaps it was his low intensity style that helped him.
    He was the opposite of explosive, and that probably helped preserve is body from wear and tear.
    He also treated his body like a temple, and had really crafty defense.
    He seemed to really understand the nuances and rhythm of fighting, and always looked at home when boxing.

    This whole performance is really underrated, and was overshadowed by Smiths performance and KO finish.
    Hopkins had some really nice moments.
