Hopkins ageless warrior ?

Discipline and hard work baby.....he learned all he needs to learn in life.

 

Indeed.

Which is possibly why he'd object to red wine.

 

This is because he runs and clinches like a lil' ***** when the going gets tough. Did anyone notice how much he bitched when Joe C owned his ass?:good

 

running and lateral movement are not the same thing and clinching has been around for donkeys years its an effective tool to break the opponents rhythm and workrate which he did with calzaghe to some success. Ever seen calzaghe slowed like that before? didnt think so

 

i dont think so, but you never can tell these days. i certainly hope not. i dont think people have questioned him though because the guy is a total health freak and is always in tip-top shape.

 

You wont catch a James Toney clinching like a Philadelphian Prostitute clinging to her John, thats for damned sure. Thats because James Toney is the opposite of Hopkins. He is more skilled, but fights with guts, balls and heart, something I havent ever seen out of Hopkins, AKA "The Uncle Tom of Boxing"

 

james toney is fighting bigger slower less agile fighters at heavyweight guys hes able to counter effectively he doesnt need to clinch and its actually ill-advised if he does because he's at a strength disadvantage

 

Put Hopkins in at HW. He will get assraped. :smoke

 

Yes... the proof is in the pudding with Bernard. He has shown time and time again that he is just a man-possessed in learning and refining his craft, as well as being known to those around him that he is tireless in the gym. He also eats well, doesn't have vices... definitely not doing anything illegal.

 

Nah, he pops open a can of whoop-ass for every fight!

That's what he do.

 

age caught up with him in calzaghe fight. calzaghe made him work and hopkins look knackered
