Has Hopkins actually EXECUTED any opponent?

[MissDeeCole]

Hopkins game plans= 12 round BOREFEST full of holding, cheating, headbutting, testicle punching, turning his back, running and making you switch to MMA.

You call facts, straws?

Look Hop is good, fine and dandy, but he didn't beat the will out of the best guys he fought. That's all I am saying.

Best post of the thread. At his own size of course.

Bhop don't brutally punish fighters and ain't a big puncher. But fighters just don't seem the same after fightin him. He takes away their confidence.

Everytime Hopkins fights someone his own size that isn't a bum, he looses:

Taylor x 2, Jones, Calzaghe (and even Calzaghe was moving up).

Calzaghe was moving UP!?

Hopkins was MW you know... Besides, it;s well known Joe was not a proper SMW. He would sometimes not eat for days to get to SMW

I take it you are ignoring the fact the dude is 40+ when he faced these guys, except Jones when he was way way green.

can you imagine what hopkins went through to stay at middle at 6'1 if calzaghe at 5'11(a very ****in skinny person his whole life) had to starve himself for days to make smw?

Hopkins' did not start his career until very late, I don't give a flying fuc about his age - if he feels able to fight then so be it. Calzaghe had been boxing non-stop since the age of 11 or something and was still 36/37 when he fought Bhop. Hardly a spring chicken either. Infact the Calzaghe that fought Hopkins was far more past-prime than Hopkins, who has not deteriorated at all really - as shown by the Pavlik beating.

How was Joe not a proper SMW? LMFAO. The guy was a regular SMW size - the same as Froch, Kessler, Ward.... all those guys. What a ridiculous statement. When Clazaghe moved to LHW he clearly looked soft at the weight; compare it to his fight with Jones where he looks much more filled out. Bhop is a regular LHW size if you ask me and had plenty of time to adjust to the new weight during his lay off, Tarver and Winky fights.

Also, Calzaghe never dragged up a buncch of LMWs and WWs. Beat them up (which he would have done - easily) and then declared his greatness. Bhop is a cherry picker - he has never fought and beaten someone like Kessler at his own weight. Prime, hungry and an excellent, grade-A/champ boxer.

Why do people act as if Calzaghe was 20 something in age against Hopkins??
