Suprise, Suprise

I haven't read the entire thread, but I'm willing to bet that many of the Hopkins haters bet on Trinidad to beat him when they fought. I don't see how anyone can hold that fight as picking on "blown up little guys," because Trinidad was expected to WIN that night.

Emanuel Steward: "The last world-class, natural Middleweight that Hopkins fought was Roy Jones, and he lost every round." Emanuel Steward is a crazy old ba$tard! He still thinks Wlad is best HW on the planet. Get a life! :boxing:

So Hagler and Monzon never moved up and they are not better than Eubank. What the phukk. The bottomline is Hopkins will always be a top 5 middleweight of all time together with Monson, Hagler and Eubank well next to never. Stop comparing him to Hopkins, they are not on the same breath.

Lucky huh. Well then smartass please name me 20 Middleweights from the past 20 years that you would rank ahead of Bernard Hopkins. I can name some Julian Jackson, Gerald McCellan, Nigel Benn, Steve Colins, Herol Graham, Mike Mcallum, Reggie Johnson, he never fought not one of these guys and it was not by chance if u have a belt somebody would want to fight

This guy reigns as champion for 10 years and makes 20 title defenses and someone has the sack to call him a fraud? Im sorry 10 years of dominace is not a fluke. How long as Calazaghe been champion yet his has not thought anybody of note apart from Eubanks at short noice. So yes u can call him a fraud is was much easy to stay at the same weight and dominate for years just like Hamed did but go up and weight and see what happens that is why they have pound for pound ratings

In 1998, Chris Eubank was stopped by Carl Thompson. He was in his early 30's at the time. I guess that exposed him as a fraud and took away from everything he ever did. :rolleyes: Hopkins was 41, and was still ultra competitve in that fight, hurting Taylor several times. It's pompus wounded idiots like you that create that bitter raw raw raw stero-type about Brits. Snap out of it. Thats is correct but let Hopkins jump to Light-Heavyweight let alone cruiserweight and beat a champion until till then he is not better than chris eubank

You people are completely ignorant and everything that is wrong about boxing, hardly any on this forum are true boxing fans. Your just a bunch of thugs. why are people thugs cos they dont agree that Eubank walked on water. you are the one being thuggish offering to fight someone cos they have a different opinion. im beggining to wonder if you are mentally challenged mate.

If you really want a fight we can fight, no problem at all just tell me where and when. i'll take you up on that JUY...just a 'friendly' match. van nuys, california. 1 month. there's only one boxing gym there so you should be able to find it.

.... Thompson's heavier punches took their toll and the referee called it off between rounds against Eubank's passionate protests, because Eubank's eye had completely closed and there was blood gushing out of his mouth. You call this a "win"? I call it being "owned". I happy to disagree with you though JUYJUY, no disrespect. By the way, Manny Steward also has stated his opinion about Hopkins, but it's just an opinion. Manny is great, but he's not always very quotable.

Whay have you been smoking JuyJuy. Eubank is nowhere on Hopkins breath. In fact he is just a blip in the radar. I don't know how fag you are to Eubank that makes you sound dumb. Eubank is just another good fighter who fought most in Europe. He is not a great fighter please, stop making this nonsense bullshiet. You are the only one Juyjuy who think Eubank is better than Hopkins. You cannot fool anybody that follows boxing but hey you can fool yourself.

Every fighter that Eubank fought in all of his world title fights at middle and super-middle were all better than Hopkins. Think about it.. Eubank fought all of his mandatories, Hopkins was simply not good enough to be a mandatory contender in that era. And Hopkins is 18 months older than Eubank and started boxing 10 years earlier! If you really want a fight we can fight, no problem at all just tell me where and when. How do you figure that?

Look, at the end of the day I'm not the one who keeps bringing up Chris Eubank in threads about other fighters. Oh and your an ignorant idiot. what is your problem, im being totally respectful and just dont agree with you? youre being agressive for no bloody reason. anmd if im an ignorant idiot then id like to be put straight and my friend if you wanna be an arshole, come and talk to me when youve written 80 or more articles on british boxing and had them published. and i dont give a fuck if you were an amateur or not. ive been nothing but pleasant and helpful to you (trying to get hold of records and stuff at your request when you pm'd me?) So and this is how you treat me cos i dont like Eubank as much as you? I was even willing to run a story on you if you had wanted to, you know i did ask you but you declined. have a word with yourself mate and come back when you have put your dummy back in yeah. rude cunt..

Look, at the end of the day I'm not the one who keeps bringing up Chris Eubank in threads about other fighters. Oh and your an ignorant idiot. Even if you didint bring him up, you basically take the bait everytime. Its a schoolyard logic that you let yourself fall for. We all know your in love with Eubank, and by someone bringing him up, we know your gonna basically go insane. A certain degree of maturity could be shown on your part by simply not taking the fuckin bait. You see me with any fighters in my sig? Or any fighters as my avatar? Fuck no, because i dont want people knowing who i favor or dont favor, i want people to know i give everyone a fair shot even if i cant fuckin stand them. You could ignore those posts which antagonize your favorite fighter, or you could continue this rash of bullshit posts in which you seem to love emitting from your keyboard.

Take it easy on juyjuy, he hasn't had his daily Eubank protein shake and it's making him a little grumpy.

??where did i say i wanted to fight you? :confused: i just said i dont agree with you. your favourtie fighter is obviously Eubank and you seem to be pushing him so hard on here when in fact he was only just world class cos he didnt fight anyone known outside britain, if he was so good he could have taken on the barekly's the nunn's. i dont agree with you adulation of Eubank. Look, at the end of the day I'm not the one who keeps bringing up Chris Eubank in threads about other fighters. Oh and your an ignorant idiot.

Why dont you just proclaim Eubank to be the best fighter ever P4P and shut the fuck up. Thats all I ever hear from you, EUBANK, EUBANK, EUBANK. Im generally tolerant of fans bias SOMETIMES, but man this is becoming boring and predictable. You relate every fighter to Eubank, and make excuses when other valid points are brought up against you. I'm not the one who has brought up Eubank in this thread, you dummy. Unless your blind and dumb you'll see that it's the others who keep bringing up Eubank. This thread is supposed to be about HOPKINS so why do you idiots keep bringing up Chris Eubank??

How comes no one talks about Eubanks? You know like other boxing fans and writers. He sounds great... He didn't fight in America, so American's don't have enough knowledge of him. Plus he first won the title 15 years ago, he doesn't fight anymore ;)
