"Bernard Hopkins is in for a fight on February 19. No one can defy the ravages of father time.
On February 19 at the Staple Center we are going to see a shocking upset. Hopkins is old and ready to be taken. Remember Donald Curry ..... Curry was eyeing potential super-fights with Leonard and Hagler when Loyd Honeyghan, a Brit like Eastman, came in hungry and dethroned the Lone Star Cobra."
For ****'s sake, why does boxingscene allow this kind of half-baked **** to be posted on the Home Page?
#1 - Hops has defied the ravages of Father Time. Against Eastmen, Hops will again show-up looking like a 20-year old.
#2 - You ask "Remember Donald Curry?". Of course. Comparing Curry-Honeyghan and Eastman-Hopkins makes no sense. Hopkins has already proven that he is not a Curry-type champ who will be exposed. Guys have been trying far quite a while to "expose" Hopkins. Tito was supposed to be that guy, right? Eastman ain't him either.
Curry lost to Honeyghan in Ring Mag's "Upset of the Year" and never recovered because he was simply not mentally strong. This was very evident in Curry's post-Honeyghan fights, where he really was not the same fighter. There is not a "Honeyghan" waiting to expose Hops. Hopkins mental toughness will be in the ring against Eastman, along with unparlleled conditioning, ring savvy and experience.
