Why is Hopkins' nickname "The Executioner"??

[larryx]

I realize that Tito was good at 160 too, but his best weight was 147.

Hopkins is a big middleweight and he had a major strength advantage over the blown up welterweight/light middleweights Oscar and Tito....That's why Hopkins won, he was a real middleweight and was too strong.

ok!!!! but dnt forget he did clean out the middle weight division

Hopkins did not win the fight using his strength. I bet you didn't see any of the fights you mention.

Some old Hopkins fights. Not the best quality or music but you get the point.

Yes, I know that

I just don't think his nickname suits him, that's all.

A guy with the nickname "The Executioner" should destroy people.

I guess he calls himself "The Executioner" because he bores people to death.

His size and strength advantages were major factors and you know it.

Hopkins was executing mofo's when your little ass was still in diapers ****ting on yourself.

...and sucking on his mama's *******.

Threadstarter: stick to MMA.

in tito's defense. he didn't train that hard for the fight. he took hopkins lightly. plus he was volunteering as a fireman in new york at the time and injured his back during recovery efforts. his fellow firemen took him out drinking the night before and he was hung over during the hopkins fight. a healthy , rested , properly trained , not hungover tito would've knocked out hopkins. bernard knows this and that's why he's been ducking tito and refused every effort by tito for a rematch.
