Attention Hopkins Haters!!

[The Hammer]

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

Tarver was not an elite fighter like DLH, Wright and Trinidad.

[-Hyperion-]

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"

and he stuck in the weak mw division to avoid toney-jones-calzaghe-benn-eubank and big men in general.....

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

Beating Winky was not impressive. Beating Tarver however was a big moment.

You have to admit that even a second-tier 168 lber is a tougher fight than a 156 lb. Oscar De La Hoya. Sure, Hopkins is not the first to get famous beating on smaller men, but that doesn't change the fact that it has made him overrated.

So Hagler's overrated as well. His so-called toughest fight against Mugabi, a 154-pounder.

both were Impressive but in my opinion Winky is a way better fighter than Tarver has better names on his record aswell ,regardless which was more impressive they are both fantastic wins for a fighter who is 40 +

well Hagler is'nt overated & he gets massive credit for beating Duran who was smaller guy than Oscar naturally i dont hear u saying he was overated

[Dynamite Kid]

i dont like Hopkins but u have to respect what hes done IMO

Calzaghe has'nt faced an undersized Elite fighter or an over the hill Elite fighter ,so lets keep it in perspective

not to say Hopkins is better than Calzghe cause i dont think he is but u cannot Knock Hopkins cause u are a Zag fan & Hopkins record makes his look ordinary

im more of a Zag fan than a B Hop fan i just think Hopkins deserves some respect for his acomplishments

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 hate him because hes a racist prick i honestly don't see how anyone can like the man i mean if i was racist i would be hated so why should it be different for a boxer i mean there supposed to be role models .

Joe Calzaghe defeated a prime elite fighter his own size, Mikkel Kessler, and took his two world titles.
