I voted no, Hopkins has crazy skill. Skill is what kicks in when old age moves in. A technician. lol I will watch a Hopkins fight anyday. His skill alone is never boring. Especially when he deals with good fighters.They never seem to look great against him.Gotta give Hopkins his props.
I love Pacman, but he is just too small. A good big man always beats a good little man. Mosley/Mayweather is the easiest fight to make. Everything about it makes the most sense.
I liked Paul Williams fights since i saw him fight Sharmba Mitchell. Sharmba was looking helpless and falling all over Paul. Paul just got up and showed no remorse and kept punching. i became an instant fan.
If you think laying on a bone thin metal bed won't affect your back after 90 days, think again. also no vitamins, protein shakes, massages, and all other luxuries that make you feel good mentally to get into the biggest fight of your life. Also very high stress level, because he's never been to jail before.
Pernell Whitaker would be a good example of a slick boxer. I think people feel left out and offended when the "slick reference to AA boxers" was made. If we were talking basketball MJ and Magic would be examples of slick players. It is what it is.
The hype job that everyone speaks of is just that, as boxing fans we love to see fighters to take on anyone. Since most people we like are protected fighters/duckers, we like Paul Williams for not making excuses and fighting. Sometimes when you fight anyone, you may get your ass handed to you. Same reason we like Vargas. Win or lose, he had balls.
I can't see that going down. Bhop is always focused on his opponent,never star gazing, looking at the time clock, or admiring his work after a punch. The chances of this happening are Very....Slim.
I don't know the percentage of Mosley's chances in this fight. But i do like the fact that Pac is smaller. Mosley's had a tough time with large fighters. This is one advantage for Mosley.
So i guess many of you think Floyd makes black people look, "Good"?? sorry he's Ultra- Ignorant, and he can't help it. He's completely immature for a 33 year old with children. :bottle:
It is a good win, and good on paper but 10 years ago, i would have. Shane is a good fighter, 2000 he was great fighter. I think most people know that. Lenox win over Tyson was good. But we know it was no 88' Tyson. You can give Floyd some credit, but it would have been more credit given if Shane ko'd him in the 2nd round. Only because Shane is closing his career and Floyd is Prime.
Agreed, Paul Williams will have an easy time with Cintron...Mosley already said he would not fight Williams right after Paul beat Winky. He said he's not interested. Williams is a style nightmare for him.
Agreed, My pops went to the movies to see this. He came back like" This was no Hagler - Hearns. " There was nothing i could say. Floyd may be the best we have to work with at this point. and so are the Klitsko's.
