if Hopkins wins...will anyone give him credit?

Her: "How do you figure?"

 

Because she shouldn't be wanting to look at what some unknown person & her "boyfriend" have to say about each other on the internet. You both must lead very exciting lives.

 

He would get a lot of credit from me

 

Well, it depends how you do it. If I wear these, it's all good.

So it's okay for you to bore her with your internet squabbles if you wear large underwear is it?:?

 

"God, he takes it so seriously. We're only ****ing around... Jesus! Does he actually think you're serious or something? Do you think he does?"

 

Nope, just poking fun at your weak retorts.:good

 

Her: "Wow, you must lead a really exciting life".

 

I like the way you get your girlfriend to speak for you. Well you two are the ones sitting there waiting for my responses with baited breath when you could be doing other things so your lives must be at least as unexciting as mine.

 

now now children.. frko, go have sex, dan, play nice

 

Five pence on the woman.

*grabs popcorn*

She must be a huge dog.

Er....underdog! Underdog!

 

And to reply on topic --

I give him credit for beating Trinidad, but not huge credit -- Trinidad at middleweight was a solid challenger with the mindset of an unbeaten fighter, but not quite as big as his name suggests -- at middleweight.

I don't give him much credit for De la Hoya -- it's a match he should have won convincingly and he did. Just another days work.

I give him a lot of credit for hopping two weight divisions at his age and beating a title-holder in Tarver. As bad as Tarver looked, Hopkins did a phenomenal part in doing so.

Hops has good standing with me for his will and mindset (I can see why Duran is a fan of his) but if he beats Joe my esteem for him rises to top 30 ATG proportions. It will be a career-defining victory on an already stellar career.

 

how can you not , he beat Tarver and Winky and if he beats Joe the number one recognized Supper middle weight of the world , he would have done what 44 other opponents fail to do and at the age of 43.

what top 5 4p4 fighter can make that claim?
