Are you fukin crazy man. Will go down better than Tito cuz he beat him? Will he go down better than DLH too? Tarver will go down better than Jones Jr cuz he beat him?? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE...
Please, tell me how much better tito was then hopkins :rolleyes:
DLH conquered 6 weight classes, Tito conquered 3, Hopkins conquered 1 while it was flaccid.
Moving up in weight gains respect from the boxing community, B-hop did not do that. Tito, and DLH did
One cannot say that B-hop is better than Tito or DLH just because he beat them. He beat blown up WELTERWEIGHTS.
Are you making the claim that tito was better then bhop?

i agree 100% just because a fighter beat another fighter does not mean that he will have a better legacy...oscar and tito both moved up in weight and won world titles at those weights they both also fought better opposition than hopkins did.. hops dominated a weak division...tito and oscar both have more accomplished carrers than hopkins...
Prime Hopkins beats up every middle today like a red-headed step child. He was a beast in his prime...no denying that. I don't think he lost more than 2 rounds in a fight when he was at his peak.
You said he knocked him unconscious,
B-hop's most credible wins are against Welterweights who are fighting 13 pounds over their prime weight.
A true champ challenges himself by going up in weight not ruling a flaccid division for years.
The two biggest names on Haglers resume were ex-welterweights too. Please quit that tired ass argument.
come on give me a break. B-Hop is going to go out as one of the best figheters of all time. you have to look at it this way. they moved up to fight him. he didnt ask them too. what if tito would have lost to joppe what would you have said about him than. what if the judges gave sturm the fight over dlh what would you have said about him than. both of those beat up on blown up welterweights. but they won those fights and went to the king of the middleweight division and got their ass's kicked. may i mind you that tito was favored over B-hop everyone said that he was going to KO hop. but EX out boxed him. i think it was roy jones that said after he KOed virgil hill. you brawl a boxer and you box a brawler. tito was known for his KO power B-hop did the right thing and wore him down. like the great BOXER he is.

He has great wins, and will always go down better than tito.
Why?
Because he was.
I wish that BHOP was back.

Great point...Karma for you!! :D
i was being sarcastic when i said unconscience, but it was damn near close ... and trinidad put on the weight and moved up himself ... sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ??? why you hating on hopkins???
delahoya chose to move up also ... thats a fuck up on their part ... but i mean shane moved up and floyd moved and they have did pretty well ... and jones was straight until tarver...

That was a sad day for me, but I respect Hopkin's skills. You can see in the clip how he kept his right hand up and when Trinidad threw the hook he blocked it. He really studied Trinidad and gave him a boixng lesson.
too bad Hopkins didn't fight like that from the first round on against both trinidad and delahoya, hopkins was smart and made them tire their legs then he came on, pussy
