LOL @ these threads...such ****in comedy

[¡VIVA MEXICO!]

Are you serious?

I normally agree with you, but... Hopkins has a great right hand, and a welterweight's iron chin is probably not going to be quite so iron when he is fighting a light heavyweight who weighs 190 on fight night.

In addition, Hopkins showed that he has a lot of tricks to kill even the most active of workrates, as he did against Calzaghe. His movement is as good as anyone else's in the sport, and he is just insanely good at clinching to avoid inside punishment coming back at him.

Finally, I think Hopkins would wear Margarito down, because he does know exactly how to get the most efficient forms of sneaky punishment in when he is in a clinch... he hits on the side, the hips, the legs, etc. All places that Margarito can ill afford to have weakened, since his success in the fight would depend on workrate. Keep in mind how weakened nearly every Hopkins opponent is in the late rounds. Taylor I anyone?

There is just absolutely no way a WW who relies on physicality is beating a LHW with good movement, good chin, and great counterpunching. It's just not physically possibly IMO.

hopkins is a 3 round fighter and he does not have lethal punching power. your overrating his power and movement way to much. he is 45 years old man!! margarito would outwork him and take an easy decision and if he can work the body effectively he would knock hopkins out. your going to see a middleweight destroy him on the 18th and after that you should be able to see how a welterweight especially a welterweight as bad ass as margarito could easily beat hopkins.

how is that?? santos isn't even a big puncher and took margarito to ***** street.

Santos is a tremendous one punch puncher. You haven't seen his early fights. He's a sneaky puncher.

ugly, ****** dumb short and a coward for putting people on ignore.

Hopkins puts that ***** into intensive care. You'll have to come up with a new book of 300 excuses as to why your idol lost- AGAIN.

Hopkins by Execution over the not talent Geico Caveman.

**** outta here ******.

with how slow and weak hopkins looks i bet margarito would knock him out at 175. if it went to a decision margarito throws so many shots that the judges would give him the decision. this would be a mismatch to me even though margarito is a welterweight.
