    Hopkins is the man! He beat Tarver who beat RJJ who beat Hopkins who beat Tarver who beat RJJ.... etc etc... and it will go on and on until one of these gutless individuals steps up and faces a white over-rated Euro fighter with a padded record.

    yes, because this upcoming fight is all about legacy for felix :roll:

    did winky look comfortable up at that weight? of course he didn't, he was sluggish, looked soft around the middle and gassed early, you can gloss it over all you want but winky had ZERO business being up at a 170 catchweight.

    ahhh yes, 'calfaggi', how witty of you.


    yes jermaine taylor, a guy who struggles to make 160 these days and who's rematch against pavlik is at a 166 (i believe) catchweight. not a fair comparison really, congrats on owning yourself with that one.

    Winky looked too small at middleweight against Taylor. Let alone what he was weighing V Hopkins.

    Nevertheless beating Winky at ANY weight is a feat to be proud of.
    Comparing Hopkins' win over wright to Taylors draw against Wright is a good way to observe BHops greatness.

    I think Hopkins should school Pavlik as his next move.

    Hopkins isn't over the hill. He has been to the top of mount everest and back down, TWICE.

    Hopkins is still an elite fighter, but over the hill.

    Watching him against Winky Wright, I noticed the following...

    • His speed has decreased
      His timing isn't nearly what it once was
      His punches aren't as crisp or as sharp
      He is still great defensively, but he gets hit more
