Should fighters even waste their time fighting hopkins

[MRBOOMER]

alot of people argue roy lost that first tarver fight..plus hopkins jumped 2 divisions at 40 and beat tarver

Hopkins beat the tarver that just came down from heavyweight tarver was never that greAt he just had roys card to beat him and the first jones tarver fight you should flurries wAsnt doing anything it just looked good cause no one else did it.

It's debateable, but to say 'its not even close' is just simply a preposterous statment.

Roy was more dominant than Hopkins in their primes IMO and whilst both were active in their primes Roy was THE best fighter in the world.

Roy is greater than Hopkins IMO.

I agree it's debateable though to an extent.

Okay Roy fought them all at there weights tarver was messed up after rocky be honest grimaced never should have went above 154 winky was just to little for it. And Roy had hella defences to like 14 or sum so i mean Wth? At least they werent smaller people Roy beat. And Oscar got a gift desicion when he won that title

[Sweet Jesus]

Obviously there are a number of people that want to fight him. Plus he's ranked #1 at Light heavyweight

But why? The man is old. He brings no money to the table. You won't get credit for beating him because he's reaching 50.

I mean Calzaghe didn't get any credit for beating Hopkins, and that was a 43 year old Hopkins. Pascal is going to fight a 47 year old version.

Btw

I meant trinadad this iPhone is annoying sometimes-_-

Winky Wright isn't even close to being one of Hopkins best wins.

God knows why Winky's name is in the hat.

There's already a bunch of people that can say that. And they can say that they didn't have to fight a 50 year old man to do it.

Why don't you ask the guys that want to fight him Pascal, Dawson and Cloud all want to fight him, shi!t I bet Froch would even want to fight him after the super six. I bet you $100 none of these guys give a flying fuck what people on the internet think

the rocky excuse is the lamest excuse in all of boxing, almost as bad as his initial excuse of being poisoned. The giant milk dud lost because hopkins is better, plain and simple.
