Hopkins didnt' look great. I thought this fight was close, honestly. But I was really in shock at how slow Hopkins looked in there.
Jones and Holyfield I understand for the same reason. Hopkins...the man wins his fights. He may be incredibly conservative in doing so, but that is NOT a reason to retire, honestly. Having said that, I hope he does too ld:
He wont be winning if he fights Dawson, Calzaghe, or Kessler. Those guys would kick his ass, at this point.
agREED... If BHop was Facing a PUNCHER Tonight he just MIGHT have Been KO'ed...He LOOKED like a 42 Year Old Man Tonight... REED
Please. Grouping Hopkins with Roy and Holyfield? Hopkins just beat a p4p fighter rather easily. Take your whinging elsewhere.
A P4P fighter above his best weight who looked way undersized. Hop won, but he looked terrible, and old last night.
Hopkins did NOT look like a 42 year old fighter tonight. Holy pretty much looks his age, hops doesn't. I was actually amazed at hopkins reactions, timing, handspeed and coordination for a 42 year old.
go and let your cousin buy you another shit PPV... yeah right ... Hops just beat a p4p top10 maybe top 5 fighter who was a clear betting favorite shortly prior to the fight. That at age 42 he has no fucking reason to quit if he doesn't wanna. Based on who he fought u can make a case for him being p4p number 1 right now.
:laughing: Hopkins isnt even the best fighter at 175, let alone the world! Dawson would embarass his old ass! As would Calzaghe, and Kessler. Look, B-Hop is one of my all time fav fighters, but he looked like shit last night! Both of them did, just Winky was shittier, and too far above his best weight. I really wish they had fought like 5 years ago at 160. It would have been a much better fight than the ugly ass shit we saw last night, but Hopkins would have still beaten him, probably even more convincingly. B-Hop should retire though. Cause if not, he WILL lose soon, he looked old last night I dont give a fuck what y'all say!
Yeah he should retire after one of his biggest wins ever, with alot more lucrative fights out there :doh: He didnt look shit last night either, maybe not what he was 5 years ago, but far from shit.
Well we're just gonna have to agree to disagree then, cause I thought he looked like shit! He won clearly though, cause Winky looked like DOG shit! And what lucrative fights are there for him, besides Calzaghe(who would kick his ass).
yeah p4p seems like a parallel world to the guys that actually rule in boxing... if those cats would just fight someone decent... (Hops, Floyd, Pacman...)
