Anyone that knows me on here, knows i'm HUGE B-HOP fan as well. I have the Hopkins vs. Eastman poster on my wall in my room. So I'm not hating on Hopkins.

It isn't, but it is very important. Being a textbook fighter can be the difference between you being on your ass or catching your opponents punch on your glove. We have plenty of fighters today who sometimes depend on raw talent to get them through a fight, and they usually don't last long or they step up against a good fighter and they lose. When I see overall fighter, I am thinking skill wise and opponent wise. Hopkins has been in the ring with better fighters and has beaten them impressively. Not taking anything away from Roy, but I can't be biased just because I like him more than Hopkins.

thats fine bro. think what you want. don't let people brainwash you.

Hopkins clearly has the better defense, but entertainment wise... That would go to roy jones jr.

Yup, and everyone's opinion should be respected and I hate when people on this board act like there opinions are facts and no one else's opinion counts.

Your opinion is cool with me too. B-Hop is great. A truly special fighter.

All I'm saying is, people are getting too caught up in this prime thing.

As long as a fighter fights, he is being judged by his performance. Roy was more dominating then Hopkins but look who is OVERALL been more competitive in every single fight. They both have 5 losses but look who has 2 Ko losses on his record while the other guy only lost split decisions.

LONGEVITY should count for something when taking a fightes legacy into account. That's something Roy doesn't have despite his superior 4-divison champion resume.

WOW, good idea. Where did you get the Poster?

I used to watch the fight to help me go to sleep; it's the same as taking Benadryl.
