William Joppy tribute

[DLT]

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

Thats not true at all. Thats like when people say that Vargas was ruined by Oscar. Its not true. Neither Vargas or Joppy looked good after there fights with Tito. Joppy was a dead man walking when he got to Hopkins

Your point?

just because someone was stop easily does not mean that the other person cheated.
you are accusing tito of cheating while you dont have any proof. those fighters that i mentions got stop.

Trinidad was caught using illegal wraps before the Hopkins fight. The Joppy fight was 4 months before that. Put two and two together.

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.

LOL...........................i almost thought it was a real joppy tribute.......

Because Hopkins and his trainer prevented him from using them by making him rewrap his hands! I thought everybody knew this.
