William Joppy tribute

[Benncollinsaad]

Joppy was one of the best middleweights of the recent era definitely. He stopped Roberto Duran in 3 rounds, that alone is an accomplishment enough. We all know that even an old Duran is a game Duran. He also went 12 rounds with Hopkins, a much bigger man who was considered an ATG already then. And who stopped Glen Johnson btw. He also beat Howard Eastman, Julio Cesar Green, Rito Ruvalcaba, Shinji Takehara and Jonathan Reid who was then undefeated.

Even after he was past prime he stopped Etienne Whittaker in one round, with one perfect right hand. He was a victim of Trinidad's loaded gloves, it has been established as a fact now. I believe he would accomplish even more if Hopkins hadn't been fighting, rather unfairly, in the mw division. He was however a three-time champion.

Roberto Duran was a fat old bum by the time he got stopped by Joppy.

I was a big fan of Joppy's and I still see him sometimes around my way but I think he was ruined by Tito or Tito's gloves, depending on how you see it

C'mon, everybody can see Tito had illegal wraps in that fight. Joppy had never been KO'd before that and never has he been stopped that easy! Whatever you think about Trinidad's power, Joppy was bigger than his previous victims and it is unlikely that Trinidad had THAT much power!

Joppy was actually ruined by Hopkins. He took the worst beating of his career in that fight. Tito took him out of his misery quick. Hopkins gave him a prolonged sadistic beating, and his face looked like a demons after the fight.

It was Hopkins. He looked like a jack-o-lantern after that fight.

But Hopkins also got punched in the groin. He didn't exactly get out of it totally unscathed,hehe!
