Hopkins: I'm out of retirement!

[GEOFFHAYES]

There are so many people who are unfamiliar with Hopkins' career prior to the Trinidad fight......and they really haven't seen him fight like he did in his prime.

He was a mobile slugger, that would pressure his opponents around the ring. Sure he used a lot of dirty tactics.....but he endured many in several fights.

Correct.

I was one of very few people familar with him. I saw him on a few Tyson undercards, I was sent a few of his fights from a friend Stateside, and I was a fan of his. IMO his peak performances were against Joe Lipsey and Glen Johnson - high outout, sharp output, accurate output, he was relentless and barely missed one punch. I started a thread on him on an internet message board in the late 90's and didn't get one reply.

Wrong.

It's not been tested.

he's only been dropped once and that was against Sergundo Mercado.

It was a flash knockdown, and he got right back up. You and I both saw him get tagged by Taylor with huge right hands. He's ultra cautious and that makes him even harder to beat now....next to impossible.

The Taylor that "Won" the fights against Hopkins was pretty impressive, throwing huge combinations and landing on the chin at times.

Albeit he avoids punches from other big punchers...........he's been tagged. All he does is smile when someone lands flush man.

That's the sign that someone has a rock hard chin. Ala Hagler, Toney, etc.

Your an idiot.

First off.

It's "You're" and not "Your". And secondly, You're deluded. Both you and I know.

You're an idiot.

But did Taylor land anything of real note on Hopkins' chin? I don't think so. How about Trinidad? Can't remember either. But I do know that he was tagged by Echols quite a few times in their first fight, and took the shots very well.

I speak the truth.

Taylor wasn't impressive at all, he especially looked scared to engage in anything, was extremely cautious (as was B-Hop) and gave B-Hop way too much respect.

[DarkSpyder]

A lot of your stuff I don't generally agree with, to be honest. It's subjective ****e rather than the truth mostly.
