What has Tito ever achieved at MW? His best win is over Joppy. Joppy's best win is a shot Duran, which should tell you something about his level of opposition.
Tito at mw: 3-2, hardly the record of a great mw fighter, both of those losses were complete shutouts as well. He was a B class mw at best.Comment

Trinidad > Barerra. Also I am not dissing Pacquiao, dude is my second favorite today, I am showing the ****** ass holes in this guys argument, who will degrade Hopkins for fighting fellow champions who challenge him in his weight class. Also by judging him for what he has done at the age of 45, when most 45 year olds can't even run.
So what he is champion? it was not Trinidads weight, i mean i could find multiple weak champions right now which good but lower weight class fighters could go and beat.

Im going by what they achieved in the divisons they fought Calzaghe and Hopkins in. Lacey's best win at smw before facing Calzaghe was Reid, Tito's best win was Joppy, more than equivalent. After losing to Hopkins/Calzaghe neither fighter did much at that weight class.Comment

Exactly there is some wack ass champion fighter at WW right now which i have never heard of, someone like Marquez/Guzman/Funeka could probably come up right now and take an easy win and become WW champ.What has Tito ever achieved at MW?

If Calzaghe forced a few big named WW/MW fighters up to come fight him he would be classed an atg like Bhop is for some reason right nowComment

That's a bad thing? Steve Dunce is a moron who judges a fighter on his nationality rather than his ability.He's an annoying turd bad and far too biased to be considered a real sports journalist.
Hopkins should have spit in his fat face.
I respect what he has done for the sport and he is a certified top 75 ATG. I don't like his attitude and how he is so close minded. I am fortunate to go to many events live with floor seats. 1 time Bhop sat 2 rows ahead of me. Before any of the fights started I walked up there and said Hi BHop its a honor to meet a legend do you mind signing my boxing gloves. He didnt even look at me. The guy next to him said Mr. Hopkins isn't talking to the public now. Thank god Chris Byrd was sitting next to him with his wife and was more than happy to sign my gloves and save me from a dis moment. That is why I want Bhop to get KTFO in every fight. I still give him mad props for his boxing skills. But he is still a ASSHOL3
Oh knows!!!!!!
Dat man didn't sign my gloves.

Good point
With so many belts around it is only a matter of time before a weak fighter gets a belt. Who you actually beat to get the belt has to be taken into account as well.Comment

i kinda get tired of hearen well he fought this guy at this weight wich isnt his natural weight blah blah blah...i'm not tryna diss you here at all i understand the point..but a weight class or two up or down really isnt that big a deal specially moving up as most pros walk around up to 20lbs heavier than fight weight anyway...it can b used as an argument but i dont feel its a good argument ever just a cop out...and far as sayen they fought a shot fighter well arguments can b made there as well...like Jones jr we can say was shot b4 the fight...but so many times the fighter wasnt labeled "shot" till after one fight cant blame a guy for whoopen someone who was labeled good b4 the fight then shot after thats not coolWhat has Tito ever achieved at MW?

Just because you are dominant in one weight class doesn't automaticaly make you dominant in another, take Hatton for example at lww. If he moved up would he be dominant at ww? The chances are highly unlikely, Mayweather, Margarito, Clottey, Mosley etc blast him out. Naturally bigger guys who can take his punches, but pack the power to hurt him.i kinda get tired of hearen well he fought this guy at this weight wich isnt his natural weight blah blah blah...i'm not tryna diss you here at all i understand the point..but a weight class or two up or down really isnt that big a deal specially moving up as most pros walk around up to 20lbs heavier than fight weight anyway...it can b used as an argument but i dont feel its a good argument ever just a cop out...and far as sayen they fought a shot fighter well arguments can b made there as well...like Jones jr we can say was shot b4 the fight...but so many times the fighter wasnt labeled "shot" till after one fight cant blame a guy for whoopen someone who was labeled good b4 the fight then shot after thats not cool
Most fighters do walk around heavier that is true, but thats because they are overweight: Hatton, Toney etc.
Do you consider Hopkins win over Roy, legit?Last edited by General Zod; 04-09-2010, 11:20 AM.Comment

Abraham and Hopkins come from the same school of acting.
Funny thing is, both of them have no problems committing fouls, it's just when it's done to them, they act like it's the end of the world. Suck it up.Comment
