Hopkins at 40 jumped from 160-175 to fight the best

Actually that is 3 inches..

I asked if you were stupid on the other thread....forget it, I have my answer.

 

Hopkins had to put on weight lifting weights to go to 175

 

I wear weight lifting weights, do you?

 

So now we are moving on to personal insults? stop making excuses for the guy, hell Roy was 5'10 and went from 154 to heavyweight

 

Hopkins would have been at 160 till this day, trying to reach 40 title defenses, if it wasn't for the Young lion Jermain Taylor painfully pushing him out of his eternal Realm at 160

That move was excused, because Hopkins was defeated twice & Taylor took all his belts. If Hopkins sees something he can do to GGG, he will be right back at 160 :smoke

 

What is your excuse for not being able to count?

Who is Roy?

 

Both guys are still boxing and Ward's dance card was decidedly open after the Super 6 in late 2011. Ward badly wanted the Hopkins fight and I remember them meeting face to face during an HBO show and Hopkins telling Ward that he would never fight him. So Ward and Hopkins both decided to fight Chad Dawson. Also, it's not like Hopkins wasn't fighting super middleweights. He fought Jean Pascal twice while Ward was doing the Super Six and making a name for himself. In the last four years Hopkins could have fought Ward or Froch who were both very highly regarded instead of say Karo Murat or Beibut Shumenov. He might have even fit them in with his other fights if he'd chosen to fight more than twice a year. So a Ward vs Hopkins fight was definitely a possibility at certain junctures.

But you are right. Hopkins didn't jump to light heavyweight to avoid Ward and Froch, who weren't big names in 2006.

 

He didn't starve himself the month before fights like most fighters. He ate a very strict diet every day so he would always be around 160 and not feel drained.

 

Check Hopkins CV before Trinidad and it's a long list of bums and a loss to Roy Jones. BHop his first ten years wishes he had Lemieux on his record. All those fights were only made possible once he'd beaten Trinidad and people stopped ducking BHop. If I recall correctly William Joppy had been ducking BHop for years just like Quillin, and others are doing to Golovkin now. Once Golovkin beats a star in Alvarez, that will do the same thing to Golovkin's career that beating Trinidad did to Hopkins'. It will make him a lucrative star and a target who can get better fights instead of being avoided. Maybe then, he'll start fighting a lot of big names like Hopkins finally did in his forties.

Also, if you look at Golovkin's amateur record he beat Lee, Korobov, Bute, and Dirrell, hardly nobodies. Plus, one or two of the guys he beat as a pro were former or current title holders.

I think BHop is a living legend while Golovkin is a legend in the making.

 

Shut up fool.. You should be permabanned you pop tart!:hi:

 

They are telling me, you didn't write down The first message...

What is wrong with you?

I fail to see how Golovkin vs Alvarez is any different from Hopkins vs Trinidad.

Good example but Armstrong is a top 5 GOAT. Hardly typical.

Robinson vs Maxim isn't Golovkin vs Kovalev. Maxim isn't as dangerous as Kovalev. If you want an ****ogy then Golovkin vs Kovalev would be like Robinson vs Moore, which never happened because Robinson wasn't that foolish.

A great example but Kovalev isn't 36 past it and coming out of retirement for the fight.

Barkley was no Kovalev. Duran vs Leonard at Welterweight would be more like it. Duran won the first and lost the next two. Of course he's a top 10 GOAT.

De La Hoya looked terrible in this fight and just folded with the first solid punch Bernard landed.

Jones vs Ruiz would be more like Golovkin vs Fonfara. Golovkin vs Kovalev would be more like Jones vs Lewis, which again didn't happen.

I'll give Byrd his props, those were some *****y moves, but the only reason he even beat one of them once was because of a fluke injury. Golovkin can't count on that kind of luck.

This was close, but I think the proper ****ogy would be more like Pacquiao vs De La Hoya rather than Pac vs Margarito.

 

That's funny. True too, but I did like the master class he put on Johnson.

 

What is going to be your moronic, idiotic and mentally challenged response going to be when ggg and Kovalev are ready to go h2h ???

GGG wins via tko in a hugely surprising (to you imbeciles) brutal beating which will put a halt to the great Kovalev's atg career
