I appreciate your posts in the video lounge, but you clearly are delusional when it comes to boxing. Not only that, you troll the thread with a billion posts while saying the same bull**** over and over. You play one side against the other, while flip flopping yourself. It almost seems like you are just looking for a reaction. I love when people make hate threads with the usual disclaimer "by the way, he's one of my favorites". Please. Nobody is buying that ****.
The bottom line is every boxer, every journalist, every trainer, anybody in boxing with clout, even promoters he has screwed, will say he IS a legend. His resume is amazing, his only clear loss vs RJJ 16 years ago, and past his prime he handled Pavlik and Tarver, while losing razor-thin split decisions vs Calzaghe and Taylor (fights that could be argued for both sides). If he was not past his prime, and had more activity and offensive output like he used to, he would have won all three of those narrow losses. He stopped Glen Johnson, Tito, DLH, beat Winky, Tarver, Pavlik, and defended his title 20times or whatever it was. If that is such an easy feat, many boxers would do it. It's not. Jermain Taylor could not even defend it 4 times. So that puts it into perspective. Also, he took Joe Lipsey, a highly regarded up and comer, and ended his career with one of the most savage knockouts in history. He ended Tito's career basically as well. Tarver has never been the same. Glen Johnson said "it was the only time where a guy completely took away anything I could do and made me feel helpless."
No disrespect, but fellow fighters, trainers, promoters and people in the boxing industry know a lot more then you do, CLEARLY, and they disagree. If Hopkins is not a legend then I guess there are only a handful of legends to ever grace boxing. Garbage thread, garbage points, and garbage trolling.
