Hopkins' Trainer Not Underestimating Calzaghe

[215Chaingang]

Tarver was 3-2 in his five fights before that, 3 fights against a way past it RJJ and two against a very old Johnson. Top man (which is debatable) doesn't mean much if the division is garbage at the time.

so as soon as rjj lost he was past his prime? does that apply to every fighter?

If you lose 3 fights in a row, I'd say that's past your prime, besides, you can tell if a fighter is past his prime or not.

Nah I know. Kobe is hard though (Lower Merion).


I'm just playing with these kids who think Hopkins will win on the basis of his being "street" and having gone to the "pen." That doesn't make anyone tough. There are plenty of ******* on the street, and there are great boxers also from middle-class backgrounds.

It all may have made Hopkins the person he is, whatever that means, but it's no advantage. The only ones who think Hopkins has an advantage because of that **** are ****** wannabe kids who have listened to too many rap albums, and that's about 75% of this site.

So leave me, harassing these little punks is my job. I've no problem with you.

i feel you on that. i'll leave you be while i'll harass the kids that think they know boxing (he's not exciting, he's boring, he's fighting dirty) very few know the sweet science, all the tricks, or ever watch old boxing(jack johnson wille pep) they think every fight is suppose to look like aturo gatti vs micky ward

i don't that's true i honestly think it was more mental at the cause fighter don't act the same after ko and he had two bad ones

i think he got a fork in him now but that not say he can't beat tailor made fighters

I think the article said Freddie Roach is his trainer and Jackson is an assistant trainer, or something. I don't know if ****m is even in his corner anymore (if I remember correctly he had a stroke or some medical problem not too long ago).

I wish ****m was still his trainer. I don't know if I really like Freddie Roach training anyone other than Pacman.

I don't like Freddie Roach period. Though his "Okay?" is really funny.

When Jackson fought Hopkins in 98 I think, Hopkins said in the pre-fight montage that Jackson taught him how to fight southpaws.
