    Every fight b-hop has won concerning prime,high ranked fighters,he was the underdog.getting beat by hopkins is bad for a career,especially when ur favored to win,but that's not his fault.now we've heard robbery soooo much on this board it isn't funny & it's not only b-hop involved in them.
    you're missing my point..im a hopkins fan..but if you beat him you get no credit...0..and dont mention floyd he has 0 to do with this thread

            Unfortunately no one has beat him cleanly yet besides roy jones. That's a testament to hopkins more than anything else. I mean if YOU want to give props to Calzaghe for that **** performance go right ahead, we all have our own opinions. Taylor gets some credit from me even though I didn't agree with the scoring, he held his own he was just HBO's new boy.

            One of the reason why hopkins fans are a little irritated is that hopkins has never received one single decision in his favor in a close fight. Not one. Mayweather got one in Castillo. Pacquiao got a couple. Roy Jones got one. etc. Not hopkins

              Believe me,U can argue that rather easily.His age,coming in as the underdog,fighting guys coming off impressive wins,(not losses) like 1 of the guys U just named.There is always a valid argument when arguing greatness.

                And theres even less chance of you looking good against him. Its a poisoned chalice. His fans will always claim a "schooling"

                  No,they shouldn't.It's bad enough getting your backside handed to you on a platter as it is.But when you have an old middle-aged man doing this to you,it must be quite a humiliating experience.

                    Segundo Mercado 1

                    Hopkins performance against Joe was also *****, but he is immune to criticism for that fight
