Old Hopkins Is On A Tear!

One thing's for sure, he's never ducked a challenge.

 

U got to respect him :good

 

I agree with you, although I am sure you will hear some disagreement from some on this board.

Hopkins is tough now and was a beast in his prime. I would have loved to see him beat down William Joppy and Keith Holmes back in the 90's when Don King was keeping both of them as far away from Hopkins as possible.

 

hang on a minute we are getting ahead of ourselves I mean this little white boy from wales Calzaghe may do a number on him we don't know yet.

 

This is why he's an ATG.

He may not fight who you want him to fight and some of his fights might be a little boring - but if everything is right - he'll fight.

Remember - he went through most of his career doing it his way. It wasn't until after the DLH fight that he really started using a Promoter - such as GBP.

I have a lot of respect for this man.

 

Oh definately but calzaghe will be a different proposistion at 12 stone 7 because unlike winky the jump is not that lot because winky should be at 154 or 160 really.

 

That's a massive understatement. Winky looked like crap. his defense wasn't nearly as good as it usually is, and his jab (which is normally a very respectible weapon) turned into a slow overhand punch that was very easily avoided. all hopkins did was clinch like a ***** over and over and over again, despite the warnings that there would be a penalty (which there wasn't; bad reffing). hopkins didn't so much win that fight as winky lost it.

not so much on a tear as he is on an overhyped old-man shuffle down the hallway.

 

Yeah hopkins holds but does not slated but hatton does its oh he his shite. Sorry just had to get it of my chest.

 

No one does a number on Hopkins. You hear me? no one

 

Yes they do? Jones did so calzaghe can.

 

Those are cold words about B-Hop coming from a man with Philly in his user name.
