[dino]

only good fighters hopkins beat was trinidad and de la hoya whos best weights were 147...i predicted hopkins would lose to taylor 3 years ago on ********boxing..taylor is the first real live middleweight that hopkins has faced sence roy jones..and he lost..i dont think hes top 5 middleweight because james toney and roy jones fought at middleweight but their never mentioned

Toney and Jones fought the majority of their careers at higher weights. Both men were at 160 for a mere moment. while Greb, Robsinson, Hagler, Monzon and Hopkins spent the majority of their careers at 160. Hopkins fought plenty of live opponents. The guy was undefeated for 12 years, ten years as a champion. Finally a 27 year old undefeated Olympian beat Hopkins twice....by close decision. Hopkins is a naturally gifted athlete, he went from training in prison to the pro-ranks. Hopkins defended his title almost as many times as Taylor had pro-fights.

So are you saying that Glen Johnson or Antwun Echols is the best name on this alltime greats record?

Imagine what Tito or Oscar could have done if they decided to fight mandatory after mandatory...they didnt and their legacy has paid for it, therefore how can you not take a closer look at a star like Nard Hopkins?

Hopkins dominated an entire division for 12 years. Which is something no other fighter has been able to do in our generation. Trinidad and De La Hoya fought in as many as 5 weight classes. Hopkins stayed in the same weight class. Even at 41 years old, a rising star, who is 27, is still not able to dominate him or win a decisive victory. Everyone said the fight was close, including Taylor and DiBella at the post-fight press conference. Maybe you should take a real look at the record of Hopkins and show me another fighter who was able to accomplish this.

I cant help but feel sorry for Bernard Hopkins, after seeing that documentary about him, when he was crying when he saw his painting in the prison. man that makes me feel down. hopkins should just retire, i wouldnt want to see another death or injury in the sport.

peace.

Hopkins is really lucky that his weight class was very weak, thats the only reason he dominated it.

I wouldnt mind if Hopkins chose to dominate his division, but he was always calling out fighters from higher divisions. He never once backed his word up by moving up to face them, he just stayed in his comfort zone facing "Robert Allens" his entire career knowing that the people he called out couldnt ever come down to his weight and fight him.

Taylor's really green, he's also lucky he's found himself in an extremely weak division.
