if hopkins kept his promise to his mother

[Left Hook Tua]

Hold up. A 215 lb Byrd was bigger than a 233 lb Tua?

So Thomas Hearns was bigger than Mike Tyson?

Lennox and Ike of course, but Chris $%#&in Byrd?????????????????????????

byrd was 215.

tua started at heavy at 204.

Tarver is garbage. That is what made it so great when Popkins wiped the floor with him. I just wish Popkins would have asked "You got any 'xcuses Tony?"

Ahahahaha that would be hilarious. If only he knew the excuses that came....
"HOPKINS DRUGGED ME! HE ****D MY SISTER! HE KIDNAPPED MY MAMA! WHYYY?!!"

[Jim Jeffries]

byrd was 215.

tua started at heavy at 204.

Didn't Byrd fight (and lose to) Calzaghe in the amateurs?

And to the guy above, of course Hopkins beats Trinidad. Bernard is a natural LHW who melted down to MW after losing his first fight. Tito is a natural, dominant WW. HUGE difference. Bernard beating Monzon and Hagler? Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze.

Let me guess the PR people said this?

no.

i made it up.

[Spiegelo]

byrd was 215.

tua started at heavy at 204.

Yeah but where did Byrd start?

[Spiegelo]

and where did byrd finish for that matter?

[Left Hook Tua]

Didn't Byrd fight (and lose to) Calzaghe in the amateurs?

calzaghe is the greatest fighter of all time. he'd beat prime roy jones jr. ask the brits.

[My Name Is...]

no.

i made it up.

U bastard. I knew you werent that dumb.
I was literally thinking to myself....

How the hell did this stuid comment come from such a good poster?

I thought you were for real. Good one.

I think Bernard would beat Monzon and Hagler both. And if Tito fought Bernard 100 times, he would lose everytime. You can't seriously say that Tito donated so much blood that he was just tired for the bernard fight. Why would he ruin himself against his hardest challenge in his entire career? His heart of gold? Cmon, Tito is a great ****er, but against a master of the craft he has no chance. I also don't see Tito deserving this rematch, BHop dominated him once, and was looking for his Oscar payday. Tito retired, only to come back to fight Winky and retire again..

sacrilege!

i'm making monzon and hagler appreciation threads when i'm not lazy.

i think the sport of boxing would have been better off if Boring-Hop retired as he promised his mama. there would of been a taylor vs pavlik fight earlier than later. pavilk would of probably fought calzaghe instead of boring-hop.

tarver would of fought someone more exciting as well and that someone would of had a better chance of beating tarver because he was all overweight and eating too much on the set of rocky.

so boxing suffered more so than anything else.
