    Shumenov will win the fight. He may not get the decision, but he will win the fight. He is no Tavoris Cloud. He will not let Hopkins dictate the pace of the fight. He is intelligent enough to know what he needs to do and skilled enough to do it.

    He hits hard and seems smart enough, but he's so slow and right hand happy. It depends on how much Hopkins has left.

    He's still cherry picking. He's picking the easiest option that is made for him. That's cherry picking, no matter the age. Still gets a lot of credit for beating a good fighter at this age no matter if he's tailor made for him.

    The same year was when De La Hoya, Trinidad, and Calzaghe got inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

    It was also the second largest age cap in Hopkins“ career, if I am not mistaken, with 19 years between the two men. The first place belongs to Joe Smith, who was 24 years younger than Hopkins.
