    Would Trinidad been the unified MW champ if not for hopkins? Would he have beat everyone int he division or not?

    Size was a factor. Look how Hopkins wasn't able to bully someone close his size.
    lol being 43 years old had nothing to do with it?????

      If hopkins didn't exist at 160 Trinidad would have been the unified champ. There wasn't a SINGLE fighter at 160 that could have been him at the time.



      See above.

      Calzaghe was a natural light heavyweight, he proved this by beating hopkins and jones. He stated for several years it was more and more difficult to make 168 and he planned on going to LH before hopkins was even an option. If you think size was a factor there you're ******ed.
      i dunno about that, tito was never really that good, but i guess it was possible, just goes to show how weak the division was

                  Typical Hopkins nuthugger excuse. His age. WTF Is he still boxing then?? Why is he still claiming to be the best?? I'm sorry but that isn't an excuse when he is claiming to be the best. He wants other people to try and be superman, but when its on him, he brings that bull**** up.

                    This is my ultimate question about hopkins.

                    Why does hopkins even today still pick on fighters two weight classes below?

                      So you're telling me a 43 year old hopkins fought just like a 35 year old hopkins? get the hell out of here with that ****.

                      WTF Is he still boxing then??
                      WTF is Holyfield still fighting for then?
                      WTF is Roy Jones still fighting for then?
                      etc
                      etc
                      etc
                      etc
                      etc
                      etc
                      etc
                      etc


                      Why is he still claiming to be the best??
                      Did he say he was pound 4 pound best?

                      I'm sorry but that isn't an excuse when he is claiming to be the best. He wants other people to try and be superman, but when its on him, he brings that bull**** up.
                      Oh god forbid he has pride and confidence in himself!
