Could BHop disarm GGG?

[mike1010011]

Prime B-Hop doesn't just take him to church, he picks him up, takes him for ice cream, makes him go to bible study, helps him to do homework and tucks him into bed at night.

If you don't mind me asking,on that 20 fight title defense run,who on that murdurous list of fighters,other than maybe Oscar,and Tito,makes you think that golovkin would lose that easily to hopkins?

Man is going on 51..do you think that high of Hopkins??? or that low of GGG??

good come back...good one.

And you thought Broner would beat Maidana.

That's kind of a silly comment. Everyone get picks wrong. But looking at both men reign at Middleweight, GGG is far more dominate, while Hopkins did struggle with a few journeymen.

Hopefully GGG can get his hands on Cotto(his De La Hoya) and Canelo (his Tito).

Broner was favored to beat Maiana by everyone. Most picked Broner, even experts picks favored Broner. It was an epic upset.

20 years ago, Hopkins was at an age where many people's career begins to dip.

So true. And amazing how his last fight was a decision loss to Sergey Kovalev, the #1 ranked LHW, and Hopkins himself is #2. That is just crazy. He is 51 and has yet to be stopped, damn.

Well he outboxed and stopped an undefeated 32-0 Glen Johnson in that reign. Johnson didn't get stopped again for another 17 years.

Height
B-Hop 6'1"
Golovkin 5'10.5"

Reach
B-Hop 75"
Golovkin 70"

Golvokin is going to have to reach to get at B-Hop and B-Hop in close will muck it up. Golovkin has to be at a certain point to be effective while B-Hop has leeway. Golovkin is good at range control but B-Hop is pretty good also, so that is a pretty tough ask to be able to get to a certain spot again and again. Add to that B-Hop is as tough as nails especially talking 160 B-Hop, so just getting there a few times isn't going to be enough.


Not a good match-up for Golovkin.

Prime bhop definitely had some intangible qualities. To me it's more that he was hard to beat than anything. Although he did have close fights against less than elite opposition, its still hard to picture him losing. Just one of those guys you could see beating anyone.

And your point is?

He passively accuse me of not knowing about boxing because I picked Manny over Mayweather.

But he picked Broner over Maidana.

We both picked wrong. So either we both don't know **** about boxing or we both do.

So maybe you should check your friend Larry X for making that silly comment.

PS, I picked Maidana over Broner. Anyone who saw the PDL fight should have known the outcome.

Basically every opponent from mercado all the way to Trinidad were solid.

Mayweather over Pacquiao was a farily easy prediction. It was a good fight, the most competitive PPV fight in boxing, on paper. But, since the fight had been flirted with back in 2010, Vegas odds always favored Mayweather. It was pretty easy to choose Mayweather.

With Broner-Maidana, it was not easy to pick Maidana. Really only like 20 posters here chose Maidana, while 100+ picked Broner. My point is it was difficult to predict that Maidana would win.
