HOPKINS Fights 'Em On The Way UP...PACQUIAO Fights 'Em On the Way DOWN!!!

[Las Vegas,]

Who's the smaller man?

Oh god.....ya know because Hopkins even though he's 6'1 and has a below average reach is somehow a huge size advantage REALLY.

I guess Paul Williams is also bigger than Sergio Martinez right? Even though Martinez outweighed him come fight night, he's still bigger!

Jones & bhop were both a little green at the time but jones was definitely close to his prime.

Everyone knew how good jones was, people were following him since the Olympics. It was a huge step up and test for hopkins at the time.

how many of hops important wins did not move up or move down two or more weight classes?

to all the hacks and dipschits out there that think hopkins beat up on smaller guys, yall know jack schit about boxing.

all the so called smaller guys, fought smaller guys, all the while they were walking around between fights 160+ and above, trinidad was known to walk around at 185 while fighting at 147, meaning they were dropping down fight smaller guys, they had no where else to go but up.

hopkins figured out that he was not at his best fighting weight at 175 early in his career, so he made an adjustment and held the same weight down for 12+years! thats harder to do than to move up in weight.

and when he did move up in weight, it was the right time for his body and his skill set that he had with his aging body.


dropping weight to fight smaller guys is a joke, it's legal cheating, that is why they got rid of same day weigh ins, because guys weren't as effective when doing that and would get hurt, but ever since the one day weigh in delay, its common place and you hacks out there think its the way it's supposed to be, that it's ok for a guy to drop 30+lbs to fight a guy who only dropped 10lbs for that weight division.

get real jokesters, hopkins maintained and took on whoever came into his division, remember, hopkins fought guys that dropped down to fight at 160 who were bigger than him, the weight game goes both ways, the only thing is, the weight game hopkins played was was/is a 100x's harder than dropping weight then moving up to where you were supposed to be at.........

if yall want to say hopkins fought smaller guys then same with calzaghe, same with trinidad, same with DLH, etc, the list goes on and on.........

only hopkins and calzaghe are the true beasts of the sport, they not only held it down at the same weight for the majority of their careers and fought all who entered it, but, the fought father time when it comes to weight management, because we all know, you GAIN WEIGHT when you get older. hopkins is still fighting father time, calzaghe called it career......... father time was getting to close for joe's liking.

quit with the hack schit and wake the F up! stop with these swiss cheese arguments that are totally contrived and not a part of what is the real truth about certain elements within boxing....

Hopkins resume ****s on most active fighters he is higher on my ATG list than Pac by a mile. Pac's best name on his resume will be a faded Mosley. Hopkins has been in there with just about everybody and he still is looking for fights with Bute, Pascal, Daswson, etc, and not looking for catchweights. I don't know why Floyd and Pac are ahead of Hopkins p4p right now?

You know Pac had a career before 2008 right?

Everybody knows that Hopkins was robbed those fights however. I don't think any real boxing fans are going to hold that against him. Like I said Hopkins is old school he runs toward competition instead of away like most of these guys. At his age he is still beating up and schooling champs. People should have more appreciation for this guy before he retires but I guess his comments turn a lot of people off. I just ignore that at focus on his work in the ring.

Taylor 2x and Calzaghe were not robberies. Stop the BS, if you had Hopkins winning those fights fine. I can see it, but the fights were close fights. Not robberies, I wish people stop calling close fights robberies. You want to see a robbery go look at Whitaker-Ramirez I or Whitaker-JCC not Hopkins against Taylor or against Joe.

I saw both fights. The rematch still haunts me to this day. I prefer not to talk about that as it was a brutal fight to watch. Seriously, I'm ****ing out of it. I don't know why I said thought that, or mistook you for Horus...

i'm going to bed
