    Well you're just a couple years older than Jaws for example.

    You wouldn't think that reading your respective posts.

    I think it is mainly that you pick very old-time fighters over modern guys and the language you use is civilized. Even though I see boxing quite differently to you, I do respect you:Thumbs:

    I don't get what you're trying to say in this sentence...but that's not due to a lack of intelligence, rather it's because I don't speak Fag, and Finnish Fag is even worse..

    I would have guessed early 30s, purely because you've said you're older. You look 10 years younger.

    I don't know that there's anything obvious about that. Beating Hearns alone >>>> anything Hops did.

    Yeah, I've always been a real fan of Hopkins and his style, but the truth is he doesn't have one truly great win. People consider his best win Tito, a 1 dimensional, lead footed welterweight.

    I'm more impressed with his wins over Tarver, Pavlik and Pascal than anything else, given his age especially.
