      he's fighting yet another solid fighter in dawson (at the age of 46 for goodness sakes) hopkins resume is WORLDCLASS. so much so that fans refuse to acknowledge how great it is & would rather down play it.


      hatton, marg, diaz, cotto. are all come forward fighters.

      it's also about how diverse your opponents *styles* have been.
      A lot of Hopkins opponents were come forward style as well.

        No one outside of Roy Jones has had such success going on the offensive against bernard.

        Please go back and watch the fight again, and tell us all which rounds you gave b-hop.

        As for the topic, yeah maybe if you're talking about currently active fighters. All time? Not even close.

        Holyfield, Roy Jones jr and pacquiao are still active aswell. Worth a thought.
        the calzaghie fight was a SD gift to joe for goodness sakes. calzaghie didn't win.......the judges gave the fight to calzaghie. calzaghie looked like total **** in that fight. down & hurt. outboxed & made to look like a amateur......I don't care about the pitty pat shots that were landing on hopkins arm & shoulders. he was countered & made to look foolish.

          No it wasn't. Calzaghe won that fight. People like you are just mad that Hopkins was made a fool after his racist remarks.

          You don't win fights by landing one or two punches and faking low blows to get rest cause he couldn't deal with Calzaghe.

            using the unified judging criterias i doubt you could argue for a hopkins win. But i't would be interesting to see you try.

            Which rounds did you give b-hop?

              pascal, tarver, tito, oscar, winky, jones jr. (first fight) taylor, calzaghie, weren't come forward fighters. (even dawson who's lined up to fight hopkins is no where NEAR a come forward fighter)

              I can go on & on.........

                  in the first fight pacman win in my opinion, Marquez win more rouns than Pacman but the 10 - 6 of the first round condemn him.
                  I prefear Hopkins than Pacman, but I Know Cotto, Margarito, Oscar are not in his prime, but it's like Hopkins fight against Haye and the K brothers

                    are you a fool hahahahaha I could care less about the racist remarks. I'm judging the fight.......

                    calzaghie was countered hurt & made to look silly. calzaghie "punches" were mostly landed on hopkins arms & gloves. hopkins won the fight but since he was the villain in that fight joe got the gift SD. but in realty he didn't win.

                    hopkins also CRIED FOR A REMATCH IN JOES BACKYARD BUT JOE QUICKLY REFUSED.

                    also. joe was a HELL of a lot younger then hopkins. of course hopkins will play the game the OLD MANS WAY he was not as nearly as young as calzaghie you fool. & calzaghie hit hopkins below the belt (on his balls) thats stands for a break regardless of what you think......you can't hit a fighter on his balls & think that he's not gonna get a break.

                      Oh yea! Let us watch a rematch of one of the most horrific fights ever.

                      Why don't we make a Hopkins vs Jones rubber match before/after too.

                      You stans. *sigh*
