    I happen to agree, I think the matchup is favorable, but when you're 44 years old fighting a guy who, on fight night, is probably 50 pounds above your prime weight, and a borderline p4p fighter, well, there is some drama there. It just seems very daunting.

    To me it would be in his three most impressive victories.

    vs. Shamone Alvarez..:roll:. Who knows though, maybe it will be good.

    ****, I'm watchin' for sure now though just to see what B-Hops has to say and stuff.

    Hey, that's a great list of opponents for a career let-a-lone past 40 yrs old. B-hop's an anomally. Just a true legend no matter what kind of crticism anyone try's to come up with.

    Actually, accomplishments can take you VERY far. Hopkins very well could finish his career higher all-time than Roy.

    That is an incredible list of opponents at ANY age. The fact that his opposition gets criticized at all is laughable. He's fought ****ing everybody, and continues calling out the biggest names he can.

    Nah the reason for my saying never is at some point you just have to conceed the fact that Roy was just a better fighter in his prime that BHop was and accomplishments can't change that. And both of them at this point in there careers aren't going to be reversing that cause niether of them will ever be prime again.

    Yeah thats definitely subjective. Personally peak performance is the final descider for me.
