    You've crossed into the twilight zone right there.
    i gave nard props for at least making a fight with shotroy jones, who is equally talented and his size...

    ...and i'm not hanging from joe's jock...i give him respect for coming to the us, lobbying for a fight with nard, getting it and beating him...a good version of nard to boot...everybody who beat nard beat him ugly...there's never gonna be a ultimate stomp out on nard, simply because he's too defensive and fights too dirty...a rematch would be no different...hopkins career imo was never special, but it faded badly after he beat trinidad and continued to feast on middleweights...everybody who doesn't think much of his career says the same thing...beats up on smaller men, loses to equally talented fighters his size or bigger, fights dirty, hates his excuse-making, delusional nutthugger following....

      It's just hard to take you seriously because of the manner in which you make your points. I mean, he faded badly after he beat Tito? How so? By defending his title six more times, leaping two divisions and claiming the LHW title at 40? If you say so...

          yeah his respectability faded with me when after trinidad there was clearly nobody left at 160, yet he still wanted to stay there and fight garbage fights with robert allen for the umpteenth time, eastman, that barnburner with morrade hakkar yeah that was a beauty, joppy that tito already flattened like a pancake, oscar de la doughboy?..come on man he was a joke...on top of that, he still lost to the fighters he needed to beat, and that was taylor 2X and calzaghe...and the leaping two divisions was bogus...no spectacular feat because he was a lightheavyweight to begin with...

            I should've taken my own advice. You're all over the place and don't make sense. I was tempted to rebut but the truth is, you have your opinion (misguided as it is) and I have mine. End of story.

                Hopkins isn't my boy. I don't know the man, neither am I a fan. In fact, you seem like you're up on his nuts harder than anyone else on here. And you aren't making sense. But keep believing you are and that I can't "deal with your opinion," like it's some huge bill I have to pay or something.

                    If the bout takes place on Feb, Hopkins will be 45 and way too inactive.

                    IMO, RJJ should take it.
                    so in other words, if they faught now it would be fair? just because he'd be 44 instead of 45. lol roys gonna be 41. they both are old and past it. roy is 4 years younger, but who has looked better over the last 5-6 years? B-Hop.

                    i'm not saying that this fight means as much as it would have in their primes, because it doesn't but its still a good fight for either fighter.

                      No he's saying hopkins would be way too inactive, whereas Jones has been active (not 44 vs 45).
