    I dunno man, think Hopkins loses. Sorry Hopkins fans, but i genuinely feel at age 47 he is too old. There i said it...

    I know he's done it before against younger fighters. But he's only getting older. Could be interesting.

      I hope he loses as well. Not because of his age. But because of that B.S. stunt he pulled in his last fight with Dawson. Not only do I hope he loses, but I also hope he gets KTFO.

      It's his just do for pulling such a pathetic display of cowardice.

          As a huge Hopkins fan, I concur.

          It seems everytime the guy gets ready to fight his other supposed "fans" begin posting stuff like this : He's old, he looks frail, etc... To get the excuses ready for the event of a ****ty performance. Then when he wins the same dudes are the first in line to praise him for his efforts and say they never had any doubts.

          Hilarious.

          The bottom line is this : Yes, the man is old as ****. Ancient in boxing terms. But it's his right to continue fighting if that's what he still desires. So if you're a fan, support the guy and enjoy the ****in' fight. But don't be half-assed about it.

          WAR Hopkins. NO excuses.

                I just re-watched the Pavlik, Tarver and Pascal fights about a fortnight ago and it reminded me that people were saying he was going to get outsped and outfought and retire after said bout for years.

                  It doesn't matter who the opponent is?

                  Off the top of my head;

                  Duran moving up two weight classes to beat Ray Leonard in his prime.

                  McLarnin starting his career at Flyweight and beating ATG WW's.

                  Bob Fitzsimmons winning the Lineal Middleweight Title, moving up to Heavyweight at less than 170 Lbs and winning the Lineal Heavyweight Title, moving back down to Light Heavyweight and winning the Lineal Light Heavyweight title.

                  These are just 3 that come in to the top of my head.

                  Hopkins defending his title at 47 is a great feat and Chad Dawson is a good fighter but it say it's the greatest feat in the history of Boxing is of course, absurd.

                    That's a good example I somehow forgot.

                    There's a pretty long list.

                    Benitez beating HOF Cervantes for the Lineage at 140 at the age of 17 is another one.
