Hopkins: "Pavlik's Win Over Taylor is Hype"

[uclanemesis]

I just hope this man has a happy retirement very soon.

WAR HOPKINS!!!!!!!

There wasnt any hype though. THe win was extremely impressive, no hype needed. We all understand fully what we saw, and it was amazing.

Pavlik himself would probably beat Hopkins, cause hopkins is to old and if he had problems with pressure from Taylor and Taylors jab... then obviously Pavlik is gonna have to gve him trouble in certain areas

Good interview. I was expecting something more negative based on the title. Maybe his opinion is weighted in his own favor, but what he says about everyone else is on target and enlightening.

But whenever Nard speaks, there's always an undercurrent of self-fellatio.

Great interview, U guys bashing Hopkins for not fighting pavlik is ridiculous!!! Hopkins already made his Legacy at Middleweight. Its the twilight of his carreer. He dosent need to fight a young strong hungry Monster like Pavlik. If he was in his prime, He would Maul Pavlik Just like Trinidad.

A legacy of fighting crap opposition in a talentless division.

He will be in much better company for once in the HOF.

He successfully defended his title 20 times in a division with pretty decent comp, not to mention he stopped 2 other HOFs (who have never been stopped before or since) before moving up in weight and destroying Tarver for the LHW title and then Winky. Definitely a Hall of famer..

A few blown up welters and robert allen 3 times helped those numbers along for the 20 defences.
Just be honest to yourself the guy had a lucky run in History without meeting anyone like Hagler or Monzon or Hearns etc....
The one top middleweight he did meet beat him and that was RJJ.
Fortunately for Hopkins RJJ went looking for better opposition up the ladder.
I keep telling people not to believe the Hype but they won't listen.

Hopkins career defining moments?
Tell me them with a straight face that he is worhty of his accolades.
