Name another over 40 fighter who could do what Hopkins did last Saturday

[toluco]

hopkins is a freak of nature when was his prime when he was like 36?

Pedro deserved what he got coming to him. Like I said...It takez time for people to deal with having lost a loved one BUT that dude was bitchin about crap that happend in 2001. If you for example you were put under that kind of pressure/ disrespect and had Tito throwing an evil smile while waving that falg in your face....you wouldn't get mad?! Wouldn't you feel as if Tito was basically tryin to say "We're better then you". I love Tito nothing against him...but I think I might have done the same. It all dependz on how you take thingz

Precisely, Tito's fans like to **** on what Bernard did but they'd have done the exact same thing in that situation. I would like to see how Tito would've reacted, if they wee doing an appearance in Germantown, and all of Hopkins fans were out in droves, booing him, with Hopkins in his face waving an American flag.

The bottom line is these kids can't relate (Not you Vick, you and I are cool) because they've most likely never been in that type of heated situation. I had a goddamn police officer in my face once and I was seeing red, I knew he was a cop and that starting **** would land my ass in jail for a night, but I did it anyway.

Why? Because when you're confronted like that and you get hot **** happens.

Fightz you guyz should see

B-Hop vs Allen
B-Hop vs Antwun 1 & 2
B-Hop vs Mercado 1 & 2
B-Hop vs Johnson
B-Hop vs Joppy

Sadly, I saw these fighterz MUCH after the Tito fight. If I would have seen those fightz before the Tito fight I would have said "Tito gonna get it"

[Truth]

nobody. b-hop is a special fighter, kind of like George Foreman.

Sorry about that man. I'm hoping they **** all over Tampa Bay. The Rays have been playing well though, but I'm confident in a Phillies victory.

I don't find it at all coincidental that Hopkins idolizes Walcott.

And I'm glad you agree about my Foreman point. Too many people get caught up in the fact that he won, and I'm not taking anything away from George on that front, he handled his business and got the KO. But he was looking like near liquid dog**** in the ring that night before he landed that haymaker.

You could say the same about loads of fighters who pulled out a win with a big punch in a fight they were losing. Louis against Conn, Leonard against Hearns, Marciano against Walcott, McCallum against Curry. But they all get credit for digging deep and getting the win. That's the beauty of boxing. Land the Suzy Q and everything that went before is irrelevant.

Name another over 40 fighter who could do what Hopkins did to Pavlik last Saturday, or an opponet like Pavlik. An undefeated KO artist, reigning Middleweight Champion, 17 years his Junior.

One of the key matches that comes to mind is Foreman/Moorer, but honestly, there's no comparison in terms of skill.

George Foreman was losing every round of that fight against Moorer, had it not been for the 1 punch that knocked Moorer out, he would've lost a shutout on the cards.

On the other hand you've got a 43 year old Hopkins, facing Pavlik. Now I'll admit that Pavlik is a flawed fighter, and certainly not in the same league as Hopkins as far as technical talent goes.

But he does have a 17 year age advantage, a significant power advantage, a stamina advantage, and a small height advantage.

And Hopkins pitched a near pefect shutout. (I gave Kelly 1 round.)

Tell me anybody else who could do that, past, or present. Who else at over 40 years old could keep Kelly Pavlik limited to winning 1 round?

absolutley nobody else....

You're reading me wrong here man, I'm not taking anything away from Foreman or people who pulled off similar one punch KO upsets.

I'm just saying that it is my own personal opinion, that pitching a damn near shutout (winning 11 rounds of a scheduled 12 round fight) at 43 is a lot more impressive to me, than doing what Foreman did.
