Joe Calzaghe and Paul Williams

I dont think you can narrow Hopkins career down to that.

 

no ****...plus bhop went for broke cuz he knew kelly for whatever reason was not on his level that night....EVERY fight bhop has has has been BORING as hell..I bought his whole WAR **** when he fought winky and it was the worst 50 i ever spent...great fighter yes...much respect just ****ing boring as hell

 

BHOP is an ATG... a defensive whiz..the craftiest player in the game....but he is boring...he haas never had a truly exciting fight

 

i agree...people want little tysons but it isn't that easy..guys like KP LACY but they just can't compete with the highly skilled sometimes boring defensive fighters or guys who throw a million punches...U PLAY TO WIN THE GAME...if u enjoy the sweet science of boxing u should enjoy what JC, PBF, PW do in the ring

 

that is becasue LACY offered NO RESISTANCE...how is that JC's fault...he put on an absolute one sided boxing exhibition for the ages

 

Mate dont be fooled by the whole legacy fights thing.
He didnt give a **** about legacy. His last 2 fights were for money. Nothing more. And hopkins and roy payed the most. He said he would fight 2 more times after kessler (heard it from the man himself) and they would be money fights. And that is what he did. People get to caught up thinking that he believed that beating those 2 would make him a legend. And thats just not true. He was only interested in the money.

 

I was!

 

Then stop hating an start a thread about fighters you do like or something

 

haha well i do so thats all what matters, so what are the fighters you like then?

 

People like him because the guy had talent. Just because he didnt KO everyone he faced doesnt mean he was a bad fighter. People bang on about how crafty hopkins was but forget that joe adjusted to beat the so called craftyest fighter in the game. He had unbelievable speed and stamina and had more than one style of fighting. Nobody found out the gameplan to beat him. And that makes him special.
