Should fighters even waste their time fighting hopkins

[ИATAS]

I was being tongue-in-cheek, although I thought he was very lucky to get a draw in the boys home country with 2 KDs against his name.

getting a draw in the guys home country should tell you how well he did.

bradley got knocked down twice against holt, klitschko twice against peter, both clearly won, it happens.

[Larry the boss]

Sure,he unified 160 by beating an atg called Felix Trinidad,maybe u've heard of him??

lol..u already know how this will be countered

[Pullcounter]

Seriously..if you beat him "oh he was old" and you get no credit..yet if he beats you hes so great and turned the hands of time back...then if its a close fight hopkins is automatically robbed///

pascal got suckered into that fight...

no one should fight hopkins unless they are 100% sure they will stop him.

[SplitSecond]

He won more rounds against the #1 ranked champion at 175 at age what??Fought to a draw with him,fighting as the underdog.There,now ur turn.

ok, he could'nt beat pascal, i guess he deserves credit and should be considered the greatest fighter of this era, **** outta here

froch beat the sht outta pascal before he started running around like a ponce and taking rounds 3-9 off

the only rounds hopkins won, were the rounds pascal ALWAYS takes off, look at his other fights at lightheavy, good on hop for actually attacking tho, still didn't win, dunno why a draw is such a big achievement against such a mediocre fighter

is pascal better than jones' and pac's opponents?

Hopkins didnt clearly win though....he was lucky to get that one imo

[Larry the boss]

i dont hear anyone saying how pascal knocked hopkins on his ass 2 times..all i hear is hopkins getting props from that fight..wheres pascals props??

[Bushbaby]

So in other words, he failed to do what Carl Froch did....

I wasn't talking to U,or about Froch(who I have no problem with),it seems U don't even know what I'm discussing so please mind Ur business,thanks homey.

Yeah I do, you were saying how Hopkins failed to beat Pascal aka Frochy's leftovers.

i dunno I thought he won the fight. still proves my point though, he's never had a close fight go his way. A couple D's and three L's. No W's.

What the point of this thread is, is an argument for Joe Calzaghe's fight with Bernard Hopkins.

Joe Calzaghe deserves credit for beating Bernard Hopkins, although over 40 years old, he was still a top 5 LHW, and considered in the Top 10 P4P by The Ring. He also proved after that fight he isn't shot, or close to it.

So he gets credit for that fight, well, from me atleast.

However the orginial and actual argument was, Roy Jones Jr on the other hand, which is the exact opposite. A fight in which Joe Calzaghe deserves no credit for.
