I wish I had a great name like hellfire_508 Honestly I do Is the 508 to signify there are 507 other jackasses that play World of Warcraft with that shitty name? Go to bed
Hopkins' best wins are blown up fighters from lower weight divisions , true , but look how he dealt with them , he won the best he could. He took DLH out with a great bodyshot, a one sided win over Trinidad, and masterful tactics against Wright, he made Winky come to him and then countered , who else can do that against Winky. It's not his fault there was hardly any other great middleweights around in his era. He beat all the contenders and dominated the era at 160 (I think he won the first Taylor fight). And then he moved up to LHW and won the title when everyone thought he was shot. The man's greatness is unquestionable.
Hagler wasn't that good mate, very very good, but doesn't deserve to be mentioned with really upperend legends. He struggled with those smaller men.
Incidently Hopkins loss to Jones is the best thing on his resume. Being competetive with Roy is more impressive than stamping on Oscar and Trinidad. I rate Hopkins highly on the basis of that loss. One of his best performances.
John David Jackson was bigtime on the decline and had two losses when Hop beat him... but besides the point. Hopkins dominated an admittedly weak division, but he dominated it.
Yeah, fighting Mario Veit (twice), Byron Mitchell, Sakio Bika, Peter Manfredo and Omar Sheika is far more impressive:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
Why even call yourself a boxing fan when you know nothing about the sport. I mean.....wow.....:verysad
Making fun of Calzaghe's record and saying Hops is better makes you all sound stupid, and vice-versa. All the scalps on both guys records aren't that impressive, but the fashion in which they beat them is.
