Hopkins Is a runner with a padded record

I always felt the same way. Some people believe the hype, though, same with Mayweather. If you tell people something enough they will start to believe it. In some ways these guys are opportunists. They are not worthy of being ATG's or legends.

 

Cause every of them would stop Calzaghe at the time BHop was fighting them.

They are much better. In fact Tarver is better than all 3 combined.

 

Well, its easy to systematically degrade anyones record if you try hard enough. True, Benard at times seems arrogent beyond reason, and almost primitive in thought and deed.He's done his share of Cherry Picking too. But he is still a formidable force and certainly one of the best today. He's tricky and hits hard enough to trouble most.
I wouldn't overlook him against anyone.

 

Hoya was a MASSIVE fighter against the opposition he chose to fight for years.

Every bit as guilty of that as, say, Arturo Gatti.

If you're going to discredit Hopkin's with actually stopping ODLH, the only man to ever do it at that, than a large part of Oscar's career, including multiple belts, is null and void.

 

I guess it won't mean much when/if Calzaghe beats him then.

 

Ha ha ha ha ha yeah right ok ha ha ha ha ha oh man please stop it I'm gonna hurt myself ha ha ha ha .

Bit of a well tread topic this but I agree with what you are saying. Hopkins status as "Legend" is a figment of the US medias imagination he is a good champ and a tough guy but no legend. Its the same with Tarver and Winky Wright that have somehow late in their careers become all time greats of the ring ! Balls I'm afraid

 

Also agree with parts of this the terms " runner " "bum" and "coward" are thrown about way to casualy on here. Hopkins is a good champion I would never dispute that all I'm saying is he is not what i would class as a legend. One thing I will say though is DLH was looking for a way out , it was all over his face.

 

Gud england speek yoo

 

The spelling was spot on, well done!

Key stage 2 will teach you the basics of grammar, punctuation and capital letters.... Go get 'em tiger!

 

ha ha ha ha nice !

I agree that if beat Calz and RJJ I would have to re-classify him.

Dont see him getting passed Joe though and I think even this Roy would have too much for him.

All that said personality wise I f**kin love Hopkins he's a cartoon you always get some entertainment whenever he opens his mouth ( and he isn't a racist )

 

please all you calzaghe brown nosing u.k ***ets need to stop joe is a joke with a reseme full of who? atleast you can reconize names on hopkins.kessler is a joke,lacy was an overhypes body builder and joe looked terrible against bika.and had a homecourt stoppage with manfredo so go suck joes dick and shut up b-hop is the truth

 

Wrong on all counts. It's nice to see that you have taken care about your spelling in the last two posts though. I'm proud of you sunshine.

 

preach brother/by the way love the avator

 

God I laughed hard when I read this post.

You think DLH and TRINIDAD would stop Calzaghe ?

I'd bet all the money I had that Calzaghe would beat DLH and Trinidad at any point during their careers and in the future.

You think Tarver is better than Kessler and Reid ? I wouldnt even say he was better than Brewer.

Your just another dumbass clueless American poster who has no idea about boxing.
