He's on the shelf for a couple months after having some surgery around his right eye.
Yeah, I had Calzaghe #1 after that fight....before the gathered media decided during Pacquao-Diaz that it was time to annint Pacman as PBF's...
I don't know, I tend to think by '96 or '97 he was pretty close to putting it together. Hopkins is such a physical freak that he's extended his...
Are we talking about performance or just the win? A split decision in a 7-5'ish fight against DLH certainly wasn't a great win for him. If...
I agree with the point Hopkins has gotten over time. But I don't know how anybody goes about legitimately stating it didn't begin til this...
In theory, that's great, but Hopkins is fighting in a whole different realm of the sport. 170 pound divisions where the opponents are 160/168...
Right, but the thing is most boxers are confined to fighting in the divisions separated by those little numbers on the weight scale. They don't...
He was with Bouie Fisher since the late 80's and early 90's, so if the suggestion is that he didn't reach his prime until the late 90's - which...
I'm just curious what weight class Hopkins is being ranked at, p4p. Is he being ranked as a light heavyweight? Because there's plenty of top...
I think it's a little different with Lewis, because he had an intervening factor in the middle of his career when he changed trainers and brought...
I'm not real clear on the p4p criteria regarding Hopkins. Are we to consider Hopkins and the other fighters if they mythically fought at the...
They should've asked DLH to come...he's always got something positive to say about the Jewish people.
Perhaps it's solid, but until it has Edison Miranda's name on it, it will always be lacking.
Is he more popular than Davey Hilton at least?
I prefer to let Jim Lampley tell me who won.:nono:
I certainly wouldn't put it above Castillo and Corrales. I'd put it in the top 5, though.
Yeah, it's not like DLH hadn't come out of retirement to fight Mayorga, after having lost his last 2-3 fights (depending on how you scored the...
Just like it was with Hearns and Leonard.
I think it was more about what American fighter(s) would become the star(s) HBO has been looking to push as the current crop (which includes the...
It's certainly not meaningless. But when a fighter, who did take some very tough at lower weights earlier in his career, makes a concentrated...
What is your opinion of Oscar De La Hoya as a fighter? What did you learn about De La Hoya during the time you worked that you didn't know...
Edit. No sense in perpetuating this nonsense.
I don't know if it's arrogance or just wanting attention. There's nothing definitive about any of these lists and everybody knows...
And if he somehow beats him, Ronald Hearns.:pray:
He was knocked out by Hector Camacho.
Hopkins began his career at light heavyweight so it's not quite the same thing. Hopkins had the frame to fight at light heavyweight before he...
Most people don't call theirs the DEFINITIVE list. It sorta invites criticism.
I don't know, with Kessler-Taylor it seems their styles are more similar but that Kessler is simply bigger and better at doing what Taylor does....
All this talk of Pavlik, Kessler and Andrade...I think Pavlik-Andrade may be more likely in the future than Pavlik-Kessler.
Bute's pretty good. I'm not sure I'd call him a technician, though. Stance and style-wise, he's more similar to Calzaghe - but his build is...
Separate names with a comma.
