It's pretty sad some you can't give credit when history was just made

Technically Erdie is the lineal champ actually, sadly enough.

And although I think Pascal is...very substandard, and one of the worst lightheavyweight champs ever...There is no doubt that what Hopkins is doing at his age is amazing.

Him being able to win against any top fighter in the division at 46 years old is incredible, even if it is a weak division.

I thought he lost his lineal claim when he moved up to a different division and campaigned in that weight class, even winning a title.

What did you expect from dumb fucking *******s? I am happy to have witnessed B-hop make history...B-hop, ATG.

I dont think so, because he moved back down right after. for example, when Mayweather moved up briefly to fight DLH at 154 and won a paper title, I dont think he was stripped of the 'lineal' title.

I could be wrong though.

I loathe Soapy as well, he's a dirty fighter and an assh*le of a person, and probably using PEDs, but even with all of that, he impressed me last night.

Two reasons:

1. They dont like how B Hop discreditted Manny.
2. Thet feel theres a double standard with B Hop not getting any heat for refusing the tests

Link, vid, article?

Last time B-Hop talked about Manny, he was actually backing Manny over Floyd in negotiations. So i'm really interested in reading this "B-Hop discredited Manny". Weird I missed it and i'm a frequent member here.

Seriously it's pathetic and really shows your true colors. 46 years old and just won the light heavyweight championship against a guy 18 years younger than him. This isn't some BS title it's the lineal championship. Hopkins showed tremendous heart, being hurt a couple times in the fight and kept on bringing it to the young lion. A lesser man would retreat and accept defeat. Not hopkins, losing wasn't an option.

Do you idiots have any idea how difficult it is to do something like that at age 46???? Especially given the fact he doesn't have knock out power?? You haters are probably in your teens and early 20's and have no clue what aging is about and think you'll be in your prime forever. If winning world championships at that age was no big deal it would have happened before, but it hasn't. Not over a hundred years in boxing history. Can you grasp that?

Show some respect to a legend. You don't have to like him, hell you can even hate him, but give credit when it's due.

Agreed. I was hoping that people on here would give him some more credit but I guess I'm not surprised. It was an amazing win. No question about it.
