    Becoming undisputed at his age is crazy. He's not talking just beating Stevenson. He'd have to beat Shumenov, Stevenson, and Kovalev, and probably be 51, actually, by the time he did all that.

    actually, many of the modern champions, especially the larger ones, are fighting past their 30's. they're probably on drugs. i hate to burst your bubble, but that's almost certainly what's going on. an ACL injury used to end a career. then it took a year. now it takes 6 months. dennis sidenberg [defenseman for the bruins] is contemplating a return to action after four months and three weeks.


    shumenov means nothing. there's no value at all in him beating shumenov.

    stevenson and kovalev are top fighters, but to compare a victory over them to roberto duran beating ray leonard just because hopkins is old is f#cking absurd.

      i dont understand why he didn't just come out and say floyds name instead of being discreet. Sneak dissing is uncalled for especially if that person doesn't mention you at all. I agree with his tbe statements tho, floyd def isn't the best ever and it baffles me how he thinks he is.

          What are you implying about bhop? If it's nothing, go talk about basketball in another forum.

              Yes I totally agree. You are 100% right. It's only a matter of time before we see 50 year old athletes performing at the very highest level pop up out the woodwork.

              You are a great poster. Carry on. Impart some more wisdom upon us.

                i think hopkins is on the gear. i used to hold roid use against fighters, but i don't any longer. i think they're all on the gear.

                  Big props to B-hop if he fights Kovalev and Stevenson that's what real champs do.

                    You're not bursting my bubble. I realize all of that. Even roided up, most these guys are shot by their mid-30s. I can't guarantee it, but I'd bet serious money that no fighter today will be at or near the top of their division at 50 like Hopkins is.

                    None of those wins on their own come anywhere near the best wins ever, but to beat all of them and unify a division at 50-51 would be one of the best things any fighter has ever done.

                      Yes completely agree. Bhop discovered a drug many others today haven't got their hands on yet. Once they do, we will see every fighter fight in unification fights at 50 years old. It's only a matter of time.

                      Great post by the way.
