Has any old master ever beat as many young, hungry lions as Hopkins has?

    Listen, if Hopkins has anything left he'll school Cloud bad but 48 is 48, its hard to ignore that number and maybe being a big Hopkins fan that always gets nervous before his fights I'm worrying to much but he's old man, really old for boxing.
    Hopkins isn't your average 48 year old man, as you know.

    Hopkins has proved time and time again, even in his mid-late 40's, he's not losing to someone as limited as Cloud.

    The only way he loses the fight is if he's finally gotten old. As in, too old for Boxing.

        how rubbish must Clev feel for chasing a 48 year old fighter? Bhop will probs be 50 by the time that jackass gets in the ring with him, and Clev will be so proud of being a young man beating up a great granddad by then.

            Another great example is George Foreman beating Michael Moorer

            Mohammad Ali beating Leon Spinks

            Herol Graham beating Chris Johnson

            Any more good examples?

              Hopkins is an absolute legend. Watch, in 20 years people are gonna talk about him over Floyd & Pacman in form of greatness.

                  No one will remember him, unless a triva question pops up about fighters who boxed at an advanced age. This guy is the cherry picker plus and this kid he's fighting is a very carefully picked opponent. He's not legendary in the real boxing world he is famous with the younger generation whose impressed by undefeated cheery picking records and a guy who's as old as their fathers but could kick their daddys azz!!

                  I believe you'll see a guy just follow him around the ring and get slightly outscored and Bernard will leave unscaved!!! Go home Bernard time is up!

                    He's busting up all of Ward's potential opponents when he moves up to 75.

                      I hope the bold was sarcastic...... otherwise the post makes absolutely no sense.
