I wouldnt call this a boring fight. It would be great, two, defensive masters. But I believe Hopkins was middle to lhw and Mookie welter to jr. middle, right? But if they were samw weight, damn, I dont know who I'd pick. And KO with a body punch? I think not!
As if Oscar really got stopped there anyway. More like he pulled a fast one after he had done enough to say he held his own, and realised the fight was now getting away from him.I wouldn't be surprised if that fight was more or less fixed by him and Hopkins.Nice payday for both, play the Hagler vs Leonard card for all it's worth in the run up to drum up interest and stage it as much as possible so neither loses face.
Um.....it was a mad tangent thread....maybe the 'is Sweet Pea overrated' thread? Maybe. We weren't getting cussed but a few decent posters dismissed the notion entirely and we trolled a bit. Nothing major. But exactly the same thing pretty much
