Why is Hopkins a "legend"?

No credit say if Margarito beats Mayweather because he is a natural SFW

All I'm saying is, its all how you want to look at it.

If one wanted too, they could say...who did Hagler really beat? Duran started his career at jr. welterweight and Hearns started his at 147. Then they could say ****, an out of retirement welterweight leonard beat him. Then they could say, the other guys he beat were either average or good. So how is Hagler great?

Someone could say Ali beat Frazier when Frazier was past his prime. When Ali faught Frazier at this best he lost. Foreman was one dimensional, of course Ali would beat Foreman. Liston was overated and one dimensional aswell. Floyd Patterson was old. When Ali faught someone with skills he lost to Ken Norton, and barley beat him the next two times. So how is Ali great?

You could say Roy Jones Jr. only beat James Toney, who was weight drained. Hopkins was green. Thats his career. Not Great!

Oscar De La Hoya isn't great. Who did he beat!! Every big fight he was in he lost pretty much. He didn't really beat Whitaker!

See what I'm saying...if you want to say Hopkins isn't great, thats fine. All I'm saying is, understand that the argument can made the other way. Its just how you look at it. If you really analyze anyones career with alot of skepticism, you can pick it apart.


**I don't believe the things I wrote about Ali, Leonard, Hagler, Jones and De La Hoya. They were just examples...**

Good Point Green K

When did I mention Calzaghe in this thread?

You didn't have to. I know what this thread is really about. I've seen my fair share of bait on the internet.

Right... so I want to bump up Calzaghe's resume by saying that the biggest "name" on his resume is ****, right?


Oh. You got me.

LOL

Not denying a 43 man is his biggest and best name on his resume in a fight which he was knocked down and got a lucky decision.

Damn right I got you. RED HANDED mother****er.

[Jim Jeffries]

He beat Pavlik, Tito, Tarver = He was the underdog in all of them
He beat Glenn Johson undefeated
Winky Wright
Antwun, Mercado, Howard Eastman
DLH isn't even THAT big of a win...

Hey Boxrec pro, are you trying to imply that Mercado was a bigger win than DLH?

Hopkins Is A Legend!!!!!!!

He systematically destroyed Trinidad. He is the only man to knock out De La Hoya. He beat the hell out of Winky, Tarver and Pavlik. He has never ducked anyone in his entire career!!!!!!!!!!! Jones has ducked him the last 10 years. When they fight next year, he will avenge that defeat.
