Overated POPKINS - How is he a p4p great?

[FasTHarD]

Tito wasn't important?

Jumping 2 weight classes to challenge the king of 175 in Tarver wasn't important?

17 years younger, undefeated, reigning Middleweight king Kelly Pavlik wasn't important?

B-hops best wins we're belong to WW/JrMW Oscar, Trinidad, Wright... B-hop beats Pavlik not in his comportable weight... Tarver was not supposed to be great all he did is to knock Jones jr and thats about it... B-hop is overrated... Greatest fighter of our generation my ass...

You mean he gets robbed in his close fights. *TAYLOR AND CALZAGHE* face it, the boxing world wanted new superstars, and thought that having taylor win those fights would make a superstar, but all it did was make him look bad. They robbed him both fights. And Calzaghe *BLAH* was a ugly fight, that Calzaghe looked horrible in, due to Hopkins style. Calzaghe hit maybe 4 flush shots the WHOLE FIGHT, and 2 of those where hard solid punches. Hopkins hit him Flush many many times. Calzaghe was hitting his arms with no pop or intentions behind the punches. LAME

and gets ducked his whole career from ROY JONEs for a rematch.

LOL@Robbed!! If anyone blew the Calzaghe fight, it was Hopkins. I didn't know clinching all night gave you a win.

I can give you the first one with Mosley, but the 2nd one, nope. Whitaker had like 10 fights at 147 BEFORE DLH MOVED UP to face him.

Well Trinidad fought Joppy, Hopkins, Winky, Mayorga, and Hacine Cherifi at 160. Thats 5 fights. He probably would have fought longer at that weight if Winky didn't beat him.

Going up to face him isn't what I call a *****.

No but making the weigh in at 156 even though it's a MW title bout is. The fight was for the all the MW marbles but what alot of people fail to mention is that the weigh in was set for 156 not 160.

So ya he faced him but the fight was closer to a Jr.MW fight then a MW fight. He still got KO'd. Hopkins is a much better fighter than Oscar ever was both in terms of ability and accomplishment.

[Mr. Fantastic]

HOW many times DID DLH QUIT???? LOL HOW many times did BHOP? Better yet How many times Dis BHOP get HURT???

How many times was Hopkins in "O ****" Mode when he fought a Fighter his size? His face was terrified against a Slapper.

Calzaghe did a lot of te holding too.

I didn't know punches thrown in the air gave you a win.

[Mr. Fantastic]

That Was Hopkins first fight in the Pros, why you bringing up old ****.

And DLH fought Pacquiao at 147, and that is just as much as a risk as Winky moving up to fight Hopkins. If Winky would have won, nobody would have said anything. And Pacquiao moved up 2 divisions to whoop Oscars ass. That a good example of how a Catchweight could be good, or bite you in the ass.

First fight or not, its still a loss. Like it or not.

i seen no cuts or bumps after that fight. Calzaghe's face looked worse then Hopkins because HOPKINS HIT HIM WITH THE MORE BETTER PUNCHES. and How bout Oscars against the filipino pride???

[Mr. Fantastic]

Calzaghe did a lot of te holding too.

Compared to Hopkins I don't think so. Did Calzaghe had to fake a lowblow to get some air?
