    I know, right? And you and him got along for the first time after the match, remember when he thanked you, pulled you close, and politely touched your cheek with his glove?

      He look great against Calzaghe and Winky.
      He was little tired with Calzaghe cuz Calzaghe pace is 2 much for anyone and they wrestle alot.
      Hopkins looks always the same cuz guy train every day and thats why 43 year old guy woop ass and of course he doesnt take lot of punches,and he doesnt cut much weight.

      Whats your opinion???
      hopkins year 200-03 was primed imo. He would have knocked out calzaghe then. Not stuggle to a lose SD

        Hopkins will be hard to beat probably even a 50 years old, but he is past it.

          I would say no, but he can still fight. Never been a big fan but I can appreciate when he have a good one.

            Obviously not. But he doesn't appear to be anywhere near shot yet either.

                I think in last few years we see best B-HOP ever .Nobody heard for B-HOP until he was 37 years old thats when he fought TITO.

                Why is that?

                  Remember B-Hop vs Tito, that wasn't even a prime B-Hop. A prime B-Hop was a beast and had 15 round stamina and his objective was to stop you, watch B-Hop vs Echols, Mercado and Glen Johnson...thats a prime B-Hop

                    This competition cannot compare to Calzaghe,Wright,Taylor,PAVLIK.
                    Mercado also dropped him 2 time in first fight Devil Man do your homework and then talk.

                      Physically he is not, but mentally he is at his best, that being said he is far from shot though, he would give any fighter from 160 up to 200 hell.
