    Hopkins made his name finishing off two p4p Welterweights and fighting 160 pound cans.

    Now GGG gets to do the same. What will the haters have to say now that GGG is just pulling a B-Hop?

    I thought ya'll hated Hopkins? Now that it fits the Golovkin agenda his resume is approved by the "Neo- SS Squad" at BN24/ESB.

    Brook is no De La Hoya or Trinidad. He isn't even a ****ing Joppy. tinman please put a .380 to your head and pop yourself.

    Brook is the best Welterweight in the world. He's one of the best p4p fighters in the world right now at 30 years old.

    Hopkins fought oscar at a catchweight, and Trinidad was foughting mostly LMW bouts at least. Oscar and Felix are much bigger than Brook. Bhop also gets most of his credit for what he did to Pascal, Pavlik, and Tarver. He probably wouldnt be that praised if he just retired with wins over Trinidad and Oscar.

    Tito and both Oscar had fights in higher weight classes scarecrow. Hopkins didn't specifically pick on them fresh out of WW. Learn the difference please.

    You realize that Tito's best legitimate win is Fernando Vargas? He got a gift against DLH. And wins over shot Pernell Whitaker and Hector Camacho.

    Trinidad was the number 1 or number 2 p4p fighter in the world at the time he met Hopkins. He unified the 154 pound division and won the WBA 160 strap from long reinging WBA MW champion William Joppy.

    At the time, Trinidad was the huge favorite while Hopkins was relatively unknown, only known for losing against a MW, one armed Roy Jones Jr.

    Kell Brook is only known for having a close fight with Shawn Porter for the IBF belt, hasn't done anything at all since then. Can't really compare the two.

    Now it's about what Tito has done, rather then GGG getting Hopkin-esque type respect? :patsch You always move the goal posts don't cha?:lol:
