    Sorry, but that's a lame post.

    I agree with you in a way

    But I like the historical element of this fight, a win for Hopkins means that we lived to see the oldest guy to win a title. Its a marvelous feat, and he deserves all the respect if he manages to win, heck, he deserves respect just for being active at 45.

    And a loss wont END Pascal's career, even though Nard has a track record of ruining careers. Pascal is still young and fresh that can further improve in time

    I think its great to do it at the age he's doing it at.. it shows the advancements we as humans in general are able to attain now as far as longevity in lifespans goes. To me, a full life is living to atleast 90. with medicine now and if we take care of ourselves we can live a long enough life in general

    Felix Trinidad, GREAT talent, never the same. Jermain Taylor, GREAT talent, never the same. Kelly Pavlik, GREAT talent, never the same. (Bernard Hopkins)


    He take the thunder from the mountain, he take the lightning from the sky. He bring the strong man to his begging knee, he make the young girl's mama cry. You got to jump up and run away. You got to hidey-hidey-hide, the Old Man is down the road. (John Fogerty)
