you can't deny hopkins history when it comes to shutting down fighters careers. i said the same thing about taylor after they fought and taylor was looking sub-par against ouma, spinks, and wright, i said hopkins did his business again, all that along with taylor getting gift decisions, but it's true taylor hasn't been the same, and same with Trinidad, other than the gift decision, tito didn't get any, tito just wasn't the same after fighting hopkins.

but if you go through hopkins resume and look from bottom to top, you'll see that hopkins has retired 9 or so fighters and most of the others that have lost to or even won (taylor) never really got back on a winning side of their game. they never fought with the same intensity after fighting hopkins. no lying.

only a couple of fighters have resumed their career and have gone on to do good, and the list is small.

anyone remember joe lipsey????? undefeated joe lipsey, who never stepped back into the ring after hopkins executed his career and will to fight.

honestly, any man who details how smart they are, like hopkins incessantly does in interviews and podium stands - is 180 degrees from what they state.

hopkins is a good case study of a 2nd chance gone right, no more.

Well according to Hopkins he softened up Taylor for Pavlik
