Hopkins the Dinosaur

[bigdlb12]

Not because of his age but his arm length , how much arm length did HBO say he had? (From the pit to the end of the fist) he looks more like a T-Rex. I never paid too much attention but for a short while Eastman with the better arm length seem to have been giving him some trouble in the first half of the fight. So Hopkins shows us that arm lenght is no matter for him . Who out there can beat him now (this year) Taylor? Lacy (if he moves up)? Tarver/Johnson? @ 175 lbs

How did they measure reach anyway? I know how they measure armlength, but I've been trying to get to know what my reach is, I consider myself to have pretty long arms..

Something to think about....

From *********.com

Hopkins let everyone know at the post fight press conference that at this point in time, he’s bigger than the four middleweight title belts he holds and that M-O-N-E-Y it the motivating factor. That, and a possible challenge of Glen Johnson for Johnson’s light heavyweight title. That challenge intrigues. Hopkins he says because even the great Sugar Ray Robinson was unable to move from middleweight to light heavyweight and win that title. Robinson collapsed from heat exhaustion in his challenge of Joey Maxim for the 175-lb title in June of 1952. Johnson has a contractural obligation to grant Antonio Tarver a rematch-which could happen in June or July. Hopkins vs. Johnson, should he defeat Tarver, would not happen until late 2005.

Does Bernard want to wait that long for a fight that may not happen should Tarver defeat Johnson? He could also challenge Tarver than for the light heavyweight title.

Another possibility, and the biggest money maker, would be a Hopkins-Trinidad rematch. Tito faces Winky Wright on May 14 and that’s not a gimme fight for Trinidad, who’s promoted by Don King, whom Hopkins has a lawsuit pending against.

Which brings us to a possible Hopkins-Jermain Taylor fight.

im not mooks but i think that wright is to slick for tito and he wins a close but unanamous decision

[jack_the_rippuh]

The earliest he's going to be able to fight is probably late August to Early september...But september is De La Hoya's month...Actually it would be pretty cool to have them both on the same card, a definite PPV, because of Oscar...still big money for Hopkins.

To my knowledge from tip of your fist to tip of your fist (across your back) but HBO now measures from arm pitt to end of fist

i believe they measured reach like a persons wingspan. from finger tip to finger tip and across the back. i remember sugagr shane had a longer reach before because he has a wide body
