Hearns - Power...

yeah where as the duran fight you saw roberto be beaten becuase he was the smaller man...this was a man who was the same size as him....and showed it wasnt his size it was his naturaly power in both hands(that left hook was very tight but could reach round a ****ing corner)

 

Hearns/ Duran, me being a great fan of the Hit Man think that Hearn"s blowout of Duran was very highly impressive,and Duran has'nt had that done to him before or since then,but I often wonder was Duran really at his best that night?

 

All this coming from a guy who reckons Montell Griffin is as slick as they come

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Do you think there were a lot of slicker boxers in history than prime Griffin? The one you have very hard time trying to hit him cleanly to the head, and may miss tens of punches before at least one of them lands?

 

Sweat Pea your just wrong. Hopkins had a draw with Mercado after

the Jones fight. He was still Green when he fought Jones. Let's not forget the two

stiffs that laid him out for good

 

Hopkins wasn't green. He was simply unprepared for the altitude at which the fight with Mercado was held, he was tired by mid-rounds already, that's Hopkins who was known for his discipline at training.

 

What was his first name again? LOL

Just because he had a little success vs your boys Roy and Toney you build the man an empire.

 

Hopkins knuckled down to his famous training discipline after this fight. This fight he says was his turning point as a boxer.

 

Watch his fights prior to Jones, he's already showing excellent physical form for each bout (not counting his debut).

 

And to take your type of tact, against who? Fukk all

 

Physical form is not quite about level of opponents.

 

You really should read what you are writing, i've seldom seen such hipocracy and convenience in all my days.

 

You can have a guy, who's coming in best shape even for inferior opponents, such as Hopkins, Mayweather Jr or Jones himself when he started his career, no excessive weight, muscular, stamina, all is there. Or you can see a guy who comes in not very good shape for inferior opponents, such as current heavyweight "prospect" Povetkin, for example, who's getting windy after a couple of rounds (because his natural weight is around 200lb, not 220+lb).

 

So now you turn this into good physical shape = slick as they come? WTF?

 

What are you talking about? I talked about Hopkins being not ready (not good enough physical form) for fighting at that high altitude, where he tired out quickly without Mercado having much to do with it. I haven't been to the mountains myself, but I read about it and heard from people who talked about it, how you tire out quickly because there's less oxygen.
