    And I've watched all those fights you mentioned, minus Veit and see no difference. The same guy flurrying against Manfredo is the same guy flurrying against Sheika. Solid power at best and he always cleverly mixed in power shots with pitty-pats. It was the first thing I noticed about him.
    The pitty-pats became more prevelent the later he got in his career is the observation made by most.

      Those pitty pats busted up, dropped and ruined Lacy. He gave RJJ the worst cut in his entire career with a clean punch. And he badly rocked the anvil chinned Hopkins numerous times. Not bad for a pitty pat puncher.

        He absolutely shattered Manfredo with those. I call those combos the windmill.

          WTF?

          Stop making **** up. Hopkins said Joe hit like his sister immediately after the fight in the post fight interview. And he didn't knock down iron chinned Hop multiple times either. You're living in toonville.

            Hopkins feigned low blows to avoid getting KTFO.

            Real talk.

                ANY fighter, I repeat any fighter can be stopped when they are dead tired. It was nothing Joe was doing to him physically on offense. When you fight on the back foot you burn more energy.. and the old man nearly did it for 12 rounds against a slightly past prime busy as hell fighter.

                  Ah, my apologies then. Didn't read the thread, just skimmed a couple posts.

                    Hopkins had slurred speech after the Calzaghe fight and if you look at his record he talked about retirement immediately after. He went months and months before the next fight just to recover. Those are facts not the opinion of some jackass named haglerwins
