Why GGG gets blasted for something B hop did ?

[joseph5620]

Nonsense. Nobody demanded that Broner should fight Thurman, not Alexander, Porter, not Peterson at 140, not Berto. Guerrero accepted his challenge and he cherrypicked Malignaggi, instead. Same story with Garcia. There was no huge demand to see him at the higher weights. You don't expect Garcia to fight Thurman next, do you? Or Brook. I got 1 trillion points to yours. Tell me if you want it.

You claimed that NOBODY ever requested that either Berto or Garcia move up in weight which is a lie. Dont try to add names to change what you claimed. Yes I'll take that bet right now. Just say the word.

LOL. If Golovkin is able to dust off a Canelo/Cotto in a ridiculous performance, make about 5-10 more defenses, lose 2 fights to a glass-jawed fighter, then leap two divisions at age 40 and whitewash the LHW champ...I will bow down.

you forgot part of it - I fixed that for you

Hell no Hopkins beat a ton of bums at middleweight, you can't even name half the guys Hopkins defended his titles against outside of De la Hoya and Trinidad two welterweights.

GGG has certainly fought better comp at middleweight than Hopkins. And once he beats Lee and Canelo he'll start getting the respect he deserves.

Echols
Joppy
John David Jackson
Glen Johnson
Robert Allen
Keith Holmes

ALL better than ANYONE on the Triple Duck's resume...

[Nay_Sayer]

Besides Tito and Taylor( at THAT time), who? Carl Daniels? Robert Allen? Echols? Hakkar?

Hopkins is an all time great, sure, but lets not pretend his middleweight run was against murderers row.......

Hopkins beat better opposition @ 160 than the Triple Duck has. Period, end of...

Nsb doesn't need you

Enjoy the ban and come back not spewing nonsense

[GMAN SUPREME]

who besides the same ******s on here are blasting ggg? you spend too much time here.

[Pac=Duran]

pac/floyd fans who don't know what to do with their lives anymore have converted ward into floyd and ggg into pacquaio

it's painfully obvious

they both have other people who are closer in size to fight but then you can't argue about a-sides and contracts and ducking all day

Hhahahahaha so true. I'll ride with Pac til I die. Now that Broner was found to be nothing more than the biggest hype job of the past 20 years, Floyd's bois need a new champion, and Ward fits the bill. I got on the Pac War wagon when he was half dead vs Marquez, I ain't about to stop driving this train!

if only ward was an ass hole like broner and gayweather these flom0s would really be in love with ward.

Stick at 160 and defend and unify and not move to 168 for short money??

Is the key to the hate racism.

I think if social media and forums were that developed back then, Hopkins would get a comparable level of hate from Tito fans... The difference though, Tito himself was a brave man and he genuinely believed that he could beat Bhop. So were his fans. The stint with PR flag was low though. I still think that was the worst thing Bhop ever done...

Hopkins, the guy that went up 15lbs to fight The Ring LHW champ?

I think Hopkins's beating of Tarver is less impressive if you look into context. Tarver's best win was Jones, who wasn't the same after losing a lot of muscles, coming down from heavy. Then Tarver himself put all those muscles for that movie. And the irony of this - he became the hostage of his catch-phrase "got any excuses tonight, Roy". He had to keep his mouth shot after Hopkins underssed him. I loved every minute of it - sort of poetic justice. But Hopkins greatly benefited from being in the right place at the right time...
