    he got boring when he got old, fi you look at fights when he was younger, he as pretty entertianing, some you guys gotta do more digging up. to fight into his mid-forties, hopkins had to become a saftey first fighter to be able to stick around and knock get knocked out like other guys who are past their peak

    boring at times yes, but his style is what kept him in this brutal sport at the age hes performing and we would never probably see him lose in any brutal way or even bruise up...

    but I must say his performances against Trinidad and Kelley were amazing and not boring at all...

    I disagree. For every rotter (Calzaghe, Winky) there was a quality fight (Trinidad, Pavlik). I have his career set, and even though he wasn't as skilled in his younger days, he was more aggressive and exciting. You can't expect a man over 40 to going at it like Thunder Gatti every fight.
