Attention Hopkins Haters!!

[mike ruler]

Why do you hate him? You can't deny that he is one of the best middleweights ever. And as much as yall dislike it, at his age, he's still one of the best out at Light Heavy. And he does stand a chance against Calzaghe.

I dont agree with him being the best middleweight ver but I believe he has more than a chance against Calzaghe. Even after his storied career where people said he was just beating on welterweights they still dont appreciate him as he has been the first and only man so far to knock out De La Hoya and Trinidad. And then when he goes to Light Heavy and beats on Tarver everybody said Tarver was just a one hit wonder, see what excuses that come up with after he beats calzaghe.

[Drunk Punch]

If he beats Calzaghe fairly there will be no excuses.

Somehow there always manages to be. For example Calzaghe was already rooting the seeds for an excuse before he fought Lacy. I remembered he was bitching about a broken hand and not being able to sleep well. We know that if Hopkins loses there wont be NO excuses.

you better believe calzaghe wont be the one making excuses if he loses. hes not like that at all. although i do agree that if he loses there will be a lot of bitches out there who will be making excuses for him! it always happens lol.

im still confident he wins a decision like by maybe 3 or 4 rounds.

I Think he has a good chance & think he is being overlooked way to easy ,its not that long ago that he beat Winky ,154 pounder or not that is a great win for a 40+ year old man ,and a very good reason why people should not overlook him

it makes me laugh when people Claim he beat up on 147lbs fighters ,what do u think Marvin Hagler did to aquire his greatness ,yes he was a very good middleweight before he fought Hearns ,Leonard ,Duran but lets have it right they made him a Superstar in partiucalr Tommy Hearns

Hopkins is a dirty fighter who always resorts to head butts, holding his opponents' arms, etc. He really isn't very good, just tricky.

He's never defeated an elite fighter his own size, just smaller men like Trinidad and DLH. When he has fought an elite fighter his own size, he's lost (Jones, Taylor).

He doesn't have a sportsmanlike attitude toward other fighters, respecting no one. He's done some bad stuff in the past like stealing old womens' purses and other criminal behavior, and did time in prison for it.

Tarver was a small man? And what does his past have to do with what happens in the ring?

hopkins was good, but its unfair what tey allow him to do, therefore giving him an unfair advantage...

"If you maintain the fairness of the rules and the equitability in the enforcement of those rules, then one fighter or the other is going to assert themselves and we're going to see a winner out of that fight. But when the rules are not enforced and some person gains an advantage by an unlawful means, then we're really not going to know the true answer to who was the better fighter that night and that's the whole purpose of us being in there. To save those fighters and to enforce those rules so that the natural tilt by skill, courage and boxing, asserts itself. That's the purpose"
