I'm sorry some of the fighters on your list above Eastman make me laugh
After I saw how Eastman fared vs Joppy, I realized his skill level was below Robert Allen's. Can you honestly say I'm wrong?
Eastman should have taken Joppy out much earlier if he was as good as everyone says he is. Instead he only took him down in the final seconds of the fight...weak.
The list I made with him at 17 was a parody, guess you didn't notice ;o
funny guy, sturm in front of tito
I'm sorry some of the fighters on your list above Eastman make me laugh, and as for the Eastman Soliman fight, how you are suggesting it was a home town decision beggers belief, the only sensible think you have said in this whole thread was in relation to Mayorga (when training at his peak)I'll give you credit for that.
After the Hopkins fight where do people rate Eastman within the division, give me a top 5 if you dare.I'd rank him 3 or 4. Lessee, Hopkins, Sturm, Taylor, ,Trinidad, Eastman and Soliman.
EASTMAN IS STILL TOP 5...hopkins did not dominate eastman or anything
just stop talking
eastman top 5? his skill level is below robert allen's.
1. hopkins
2. tito
3. sturm
4. dlh
5. taylor
6. eastman (this isnt my middleweight list, im just putting eastman at 6 to squash this )
top 10 in middleweights..definately not top 5 :D :D
:D LMAO!!
Hopkins run a lot more than he normally does, he's getting too old and should retire.
I agree, he is getting very old..
but I'll say it's time for him to retire when I see him lose a bout via punishment ;-)
but i agree he did run more vs eastman than others
"running away" is what oscar did at the end of the tito bout
hopkins ran maybe once or twice blatantly, and each time he ran he landed when eastman stalked in, and he landed every punch he threw, almost. the other moving you saw hopkins doing was strategic circling, that is alot different than running. you have a lot to learn.

Coming from the person that said Hopkins was a joke, your credability went out the window after I read that post. You'll have to prove yourself in a big way before I ever take anything else you say seriously ;o
If you think running away from a average fighter is ok then you need to prove yourself in a big way before i take you seriously again.
Hopkins has been a great fighter for a long time now but in that fight he was a joke. Retirement is due.
Wow, i cant believe you think that.
Hopkins was running scared of Eastman, he isnt a brilliant fighter but he's easily top 5.
If Eastmans number 24 then Hopkins should rank about 20.

lol yeah man
i get it i was wrong
not %100 tho
Latinos are generally fearless figthers.
at least im man enough to admit my mistake.
:D
I like the latino style, Prime Chavez was very good latino fighter.
In general the Latino's a pretty tough fighters though.
No more examples please :cool:

ABSOLUTE FUCKING COBBLERS.
Eastman is still top five who else is there, a total dearth at middleweight he got beat 117-113 on one scorecard thats not a total disgrace, newsflash tito got KOTFO'd by hopkins after taking more of a beating than howard did, so did de la hoya.

i don't think top 5 maybe top 10
and Trinidad's fight hgot stopped by his corner
A latino will never accept a knockout :cool:
Are we talking top 10 middleweight? I dont really rate Eastman as a fighter but he's got to be top 5, he cant make the number 1 run all night and drop that much.
I'd like to see Eastman vs Taylor, the winner could fight Nard.
ABSOLUTE FUCKING COBBLERS.

eastman isnt a top 20, much less a top 5. maybe overseas he's top five, but not here,for damn sure. after that fight i'd say eastman is #24 or so
Wow, i cant believe you think that.

If Eastmans number 24 then Hopkins should rank about 20.
top five who are fighting at middel at present ( so no tito nor de la hoya)
1. BHOP
2. TAYLOR
3. EASTMAN
4. STURM
5 IKEKE
Ikeke is horrible. I was there and that guy look so bad. Also I didn't see the fight on TV but from watching it in the staples center it looked a lot closer to 116-112, thats way better than De La Hoya, Trinidad, or Joppy did.
