    I reckon he's probably being sarcastic,I'm not a fan of Ward but his talent isn't in question

    If you guys want to see the record of a REAL fighter who deserves to be in the HOF look up Buck Tombstone Smith on box rec, Met him in Ft Worth Tx when he fought Tony Margarito. He really was a fight any one , any where, any time, just give me time to get there. Had a long chat with him. Guys like him make boxing great

    Talent is overrated. Every boxer who is at the elite level and was able to stay there for a period of time is the product of hard, diligent work for 10-15+ years. There is no gene for being a good boxer (or anything else for that matter) outside of physical attributes (height, reach etc). Science has long disproven the entire myth of talent.

    Anyone interested in more data read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Talent-Overrated-Separates-World-Class-Performers/dp/1591842948

    you might have talent to perform a brain op, but that talents worth nothing if you are on a golf course all day. A garden in the forest unseen will never be admired, so is it ever admirable?

    This little rant in no way addresses the thread subject. You just want to beat up on Hopkins.
