Hopkins Disgraced The Sport

That wasnt anything like Ruiz.

Two top fighters met and fought like men.

 

:-(

 

It was a close fight. Rounds could have gone either way. I had joe winning by a couple of points

 

Hopkins is washed up, which is why he was reduced to using the tactics of a talentless palooka like Ruiz. It's sad, really, to see a once-great fighter reduced to this level. He should have retired after the Tarver fight.

 

You can't compare Hopkins to Ruiz -The clean right hand in the first is at least one clean punch more than you usually see John land before hugging his way to (boredom) victory.

 

All I can say is: The man is 43 and can go 12 rounds with a guy that many younger guys haven't been able to pass 8 rounds. Hopkins didn't win, but he sure has my respect.

 

it is calzaghe who disgraces this sport of pro boxing with his slap-tagging which is more suited to amateur boxing than anything else. and i'm not even a fan of hopkins.

 

This thread sucks and what makes it worse is people like you who make comments like this. atsch

 

Goomba.

 

The guys did fight negatively after 37 ......hes was generally very boring until the Pavlik fight which he let it all hang out...


I dont blame him for these tactics because he was able to change his style to prolong his career.

hes an old guy what do u expect....hes no where near as fluid as he was years ago

 

:****

 

I think that's just about the first common sense post I've seen from you:good

How Hopkins expected to win by holding,feigning injury,spoiling and backpeddalling faster than Carl lewis stuck in reverse gear is beyond me:think Hopkins hardly won a round after the 2nd. There's no debate about it and the judge who scored one point in favour of Hopkins sholuld never be allowed to score a fight again. The other two judges had JC ahead by 5 points and 3points

 

john ruiz is a hero to all creatures. he not have speed of cotto or looks of ricky martin. but his brave spirits. his warrior heart. are all that are good in the world. he is not amazing. he tries hard.

thanks
