You cant have it both ways.
    Did you know how to read and comprehend. I just stated you the facts why they were good wins at that moment, and I also said that fighting Jennings is absurd and ridiculous. I guess you agenda was for some how to hug Floyds nuts!!!!!!!!

      so why does he still catch flak for his size?
      Only thing I've been against was him not facin Paul a 2nd time. Other then that I respect the guy.

        Mostly those are Floyd huggers, who always have a excuse prepared, for Folyd not fighting Margo.

          People downplay Hop's opponents and many other fighters when they dont seem like what we are accustomed to seeing from them. Not to mention Tarver, Pavlik, and Tito didnt look like themselves, but people overlook that John David Jackson was a two time champ, a very good boxer, Simon Brown was a two time champ, Robert Allen very underated good fighter, Keith Holmes was a two time champ, Joppy a two time champ, but when Hop beat these guys they didnt look like their normal selves.

            That's what I've been wondering too.


            The time BHOP fought very good boxers his size, majority of the time he lost. Jones, Calzaghe, hell even JT. Yes, eventhough Cal slaps, I still give him respect.

                B-Hop underdog against Tito, Pavlik, Tarver....and boy! did he make it look easy. When B-Hop retires there will be NO! ?...so I really don't understand why anyone would jump on the guy

                  Seriously, B-Hop should be given credit for the Tito win
                  Ill give him Echols and Johnson, but eastman is a joke and just because Mercado gave B-Hop hell at that moment doesnt mean he is a great fighter. Tito was comming up in weight. Titos best weight was WW SWW at most!!!!!!!!! Every big name Bhop win is againts a guy comming up in weight, except tarver, but Tarver is a one hit wonder!!!!!!

                      The time B-Hop lost he was 40+ JT, Calzaghe and it could have gone either way. B-Hop ain't young you know

                      RJJ is the only guy who clearly beat him
