Hopkins middleweight resume ?, ATG status ? and prime ?

Bums and old men. :hi:

 

there is not a lot of depth to his resume but that stand-out performance against Trinidad and generally looking excellent makes him a great imo.

 

I haven't posted much lately trampie, i'm not sure who you mean.

Really, i'm not messing around, i'm a bit lost here,

 

Trampie thinks Calzaghe is greater than Hopkins and it´s only perceived otherwise because the majority of the boxing public is American. He also has Calzaghe posters in his bedroom and sleeps in Calzaghe bedclothes and calls his wife "Joe". Know what I mean?

 

oh ok

atsch

 

so who else should he have fought?

 

Duran

 

This

 

ok, why do you think they never fought?

 

In all seriousness Calzahge would always give Hopkins problems. Calzahge was physically bigger and had fast hands and good skills. He just never tested his skills when he should have, so he farked up his legacy. Beating guys like Lacy and Kessler turned out to be no big deal.

 

Did you see the Joppy fight? Duran Joppy that is?

 

imo stylistically Duran was all wrong for Hopkins. Hopkins team knew this and subsequently refused a deal offered that was put forward in 1993 after Duran obliterated and outclassed the tricky and avoided spoiler, Hulsey and the hot prospect, LeBlanc. Hopkins wanted no part of this motivated Duran. Not many people know about this situation as the mainstream boxing media, still under the influence at this time, of mainstream poster boy and puppeteer Ray Leonard. Who quickly swept it under the rug, out of spite perhaps, or to salvage Hopkin's credibility and resume the Hopkins hype-train.

 

LOL! the hopkins hype train? that train was way off schedule. lol


no, but thanks for that bit of info pachilles. never knew about that. is there anyone else you thought b hop should've faced but didn't?
