    :lol: You should be talking about holding and being fan friendly..

    Your favorite fighter is Wlad.. at least Hopkins wasn't boring during his prime, he was very exciting actually.

    You can't teach what Hopkins has.

    Timing and IQ.

    If more guys did Hopkins style boxing would be fanless.

    if fighters could emulate a great fighter - jones, hopkins, floyd - then they wouldn't be unique anymore.

    they are because they can do what others can't.

    like them or hate them guys like this are poster-childs for how to make fighting look easy because the basic rules you should use to combat styles don't apply to these guys.

    a great fighter writes his own book.
