    BHOP is really in sick shape for a....

    43 going on 44 yr old man. i mean, i think i have underestimated just how good a shape, and how disciplined he is at this stage. he still fights a a very high level as well. i am envious, and hope i can stay in 1/2 that shape by the time i reach 44.

    I think Lennox Lewis is 45 (No 100%) just to put things into perspective..

    He is retired, and out of shape. And Hopkins only a little younger is in great shape!

      Yeah but seriously his life has been dedicated to keeping his body in shape, its not like he sits in a cubicle for 8 hours then in traffic and needs to make time to work out. Not to mention now he has a team of scientists & nutritionists taking care of him

          yea he has always been in great shape. year round too, very impressive. There was a reason he was champion for so many years, and theres a reason he is considered one of the greatest middleweights ever

            holyfield stays in great shape, yet he can not fight near the high levels, yet bhop continues to. that says alot. thats what seperates him from others who stay in shape, and look great. he can actually perform like he is much younger, and compete at the highest levels. not easilly attainable.

                  Thats very true about Holyfield...I guess you can blame all of the wars he has been in...Holyfield may be a warrior but those punishing shots he took over the years of being in boxing is finally taking its toll. B-hop has always fought smart and limited the amount of punishing shots that hit him.

                    What fights have you been watching??? B-Hop looks like **** in his fights compared to when he was younger...hes in great shape but just can't fight anymore.
