Personally, I was happy for B-Hop, that night he was finally recognized for the great fighter he is. His absolute destruction of an opponent the caliber of Tito finally gave him vindication. Dude has done his thing for years. Hopkins is the most accomplished fighter of this generation imo. :boxing:
i knew he was gonna win, even though i was like 2 ahahahha
That's what I was thinking, he's asking a bunch of teenagers this question. I don't remember that fight live and have been an avid and PERSISTENT boxing fan for 10 years (the fight was 11 years ago).
I was upset watching a dirty fighter headbutting, stepping on the foot, elbowing and shuving his way to beat a clean champion who went kamakasi fighting bigger champions.
9 11 was bigger than both fighters, but Trinidad was the only one from both that put boxing aside to help those heroe firemen, while the "American" went back home to continue training.
If Trinidad would of remain as a jr middleweight He would of never lost, but there's nothing funny about fighting guys two divisions higher than yours. Its crazy.
At the time my family was a pro De La Hoya crowd, so they loved it when BHop schooled him. When he knocked him down I remember the everyone in the house going insane. It was quite a moment.
That was quite a victory for Hopkins.

I was really depressed after the fight even though I knew Hopkins would win beforehand. I never liked that fight for Tito, I was kind of hoping that he would skip that fight to just go fifght Roy Jones. While I know that Roy would have beaten him, I would have rather see him lose a fight like that where he wasn't expected to win, but would get credit for just getting in the ring with him (RJJ) rather than get dominated like that by Hopkins. In retrospect though, it was good for the sport that it happened because it allowed Hopkins to finally get some well deserved exposure. He may have fallen by the wayside so to speak and would probably have ended up like Hagler almost did before Leonard or like a Charley Burley or Packy McFarlane did in not getting that big career defining fight.
I was surprised. Trinidad was expected to win. I knew Hopkins was a very live underdog, but didn't expect him to dominate Trinidad. I expected a close, competitive fight.
It's just a testament to how a truly great fighter behaves in the squared circle.Consider this,Floyd & Manny since coming up in weight have never fought someone favored to beat them.Nutthuggers claim there is no one that would be favored to beat them.Well,both are or were 154lb champions,anyone who favor Floyd & Manny over Martinez & the Punisher needs to get their head checked pronto.
That's not quite accurate. DLH was a 2.5 to 1 betting favorite when he fought Pacquiao, which is pretty significant.

stfu you a *** hypocrite saying ''latinos unidos'' but saying offensive things to dominicans and mexicans when you get butt hurt and my knowledge is better then yours since i know Paraguay isn't reped in your avi stupid
Oh well.
:trink26:
they say viva DR and viva mexico cuz they love there heritage and there people mostly not cuz of there country BTW Mexico was offered the same offer as PR but didn't want to be under USA'S command
Having pride is fine but when you combine "your pride" with degrading an Island who is happily affiliated with America your wrong.
Your people die to be affiliated with America (to be affiliated like PR) then down them for doing what over 10 million of your people are doing. Which by the way is more than PR. You have more Mexicans "partnering up in America than PR's on the island and in the US combined.
I myself have always wondered why the Mex. and DR. fight, die, swim , crawl, run and suffer to escape their country, then when they arrive in America its,"Viva Mexico, Viva DR!".Id dont get it.
These people go through all of this and then come to America to partner with this great country, and what kills me they brag to Puerto Ricans on how, "They are INDEPENDENT" and dont need America and hate on the fact that PR is a partner with America.
Puerto Rico is a willing partner of America and like the status they have because they voted for that status.
They die to partner up then down PR for doing the same.

LMAO what whould i envy a puerto rican? Mexicans don' envy yall get that through your head and your people ain't so well off if your island is getting bombed on by USA air force i just replied to you since you mentioned Mexicans
Vieques (a small island off PR) that was used for military maneuvers but the protesting stopped it.
How the hell does that equate to "PR BEING BOMBED"?
What level of education did you complete? and more importantly where?
