are you kidding me...whos jeff lacy?...he could barely beat manfredo...hopkins has proven that he could neutralize fighters and calzaghe is no different

[-Hyperion-]

yep, i chuckle at the execution team....to think 40+ year olds come up with bs like that.....

Snooze fest...

Man, I love how so many headz are sleepin' on B-hop. There's not a better tactician/strategist in the game today and for the life of me..I dont know why people insist to keep mentioning his age. He's been fighting younger opposition & supposedly "over the hill" for the past 5..6 yrs, yet no one has been able to walk right thru him. I doubt Calzaghe will do it either. I expect a highly competitive match up, but dont expect Hopkins to start looking 'washed up' all of a sudden. Is calzaghe seriously comparing hopkins to the likes of jeff lacy?? Surely he's buggin'. He's fighting a veteran of well over 20yrs in the game..so I know he doesnt expect to out-class Bhop the way he did lacy or out-hustle & will his way to victory as he did against kessler a few months ago. His father better be putting him thru hell in training b/c he's going to be in for a rough & ugly fight. That's primarily how you have to neutralize his high punch output. You have to frustrate him & bust 'em up the way nate campbell did diaz (who's usually an energizer bunny).

LOL... Popkins better add a plastic surgeon and a physical theraspist to his so called Dream Team.

Shilstone is a crazy MF. I posted this another thread, it's from an interview on his website:

Quote:
Everlast: How does training boxers differ from the other types of athletes you train?

MS: First of all, boxing is a totally unique sport. Boxing is the only sport where a boxer has a license to kill. If a man hits another man, and the other man doesnt get up, no one goes to jail. Inside the ring, theres no difference between boxing and war. The ring is the theater of operations, with a Geneva Convention called a referee. Everything else is a childs sport. Boxing is controlled aggression. When we (Jones Jr.) fought John Ruiz, we went in there to break his nose, get him to breathe through his mouth, target his chest with shots; essentially reverse CPR to slow his heart rate. Tarver was lucky he didnt have his jaw broken, because that was the goal in training Bernard. I consulted with surgeons as to how to break a jaw. We called Tarver a cobra, because cobras only have one type of attack. I had Bernard Hopkins reading about mongooses, an animal particularly effective in killing cobras. So what Im getting at is that all the other sports pale in comparison. Boxers literally have to look out for their lives.
