Hopkins Legacy?

Damn you got banned, lmfao. The above has to be the reason lmfao...

 

Three times. Calz whooped him too, despite all his antics and crying.

 

Two convincingly. But the banned alts say 3 lol.

 

Hopkins was a one-trick pony; those who solved his puzzle would have always beaten him.

This is why he waited for Roy to be completely shot to rematch him.
This is why Dawson beat him twice.
Why Calzone would have always beaten him.
Why Taylor did throw him out of the middle division.

 

bhop legacy intact and all time great. he was posterized like jack dempsy that was knocked out of the ring by firpo very famous photograph.

 

Not me pal you must have got confused by the really BIG HANDS

 

Hopkins "greatness" came through longevity. I put quotes on greatness because personally I don't think he was great, but the press labeled him as such. I never liked his style. Never looked forward to his fights. He was con man. He would do whatever it took to win a fight, and for many, that was admirable. Not for me.

 

Undebatable, if you take it at face value. But if you think of his entire middleweight career as him cutting weight to fight smaller men and his light heavyweight career as him roiding then you can put an asterisk next to everything he's ever done.

 

Right. Hopkins greatness came with his longevity and his longevity was the result of PEDs.

 

If we go to that level of scrutiny then everyone from around mid 40's onwards to me is dodgy because it's then that I believe PED's became prevalent. Testing was even less stringent then and today testing is seen as a joke, too.
All of this is a whole different story for a different thread.

 

Let me hit you with a flush right hand on your ear, and then graze you across the chin, then fall back through the ropes head first onto concrete and see how you react in the next 20 seconds. Most guys would have been KO'd from the punch to the ear, or the head hitting the concrete from that height.

 

Lol... no.

 

Paulie Malignaggi ATG TBE only clean athlete in the sport.

 

HOF career, and he went out with a bang.

 

A Black man in American calling a white man, white boy, isn't racist.
