Abel critical of Hopkins Record. Says "he fought smaller opposition "

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Yep that is exactly what he saying , and he says its ok to have 20 ko defenses against 20 bums and its special , nowhere does he mention an elite opponent for GGG it sounds like its gunna be bum after bum .

Abel really needs to shut his trap he is making GGG sound like a cherry picking over rated fighter .

yeah im done with GGG for awhile now, I used to rep GGG and go hard after ward ( I still do for other reasons) but when I seen the bitch **** lil g wanted for ward and other **** im done....

Do you really believe that the IBF would take his title for not fighting Wade , I dont for a minute the out cry would have the IBF not knowing what to do .

GGG should have said NO that opponent could get seriously hurt , he likes to have the easy fights thats why its on .

Fighters fight man. I don't think it should be his job to dictate anything to sanctioning bodies...maybe his management team could. Me personally, i don't think he should care one way or the other if the ibf stripped him or not...but he seems content on unifying the division. I don't care much for this fight, there's better opponents out there. It's on cuz other mws don't want to fight. I hope he can fight jacobs next now that there's been talk of it.

They were small after he schooled and beat the breaks out of them. Before that they were favored, except DLH. Winky, Trinidad, Pavlik were all favored to beat him.

Yeah I forgot how big Wade the lions name is , anyone that can get a SD win over ancient Sam Soliman is God material .

I also forgot that not a fighter on GGGs resume could carry Wards gym bag .

So what middleweight should he fight? Cotto didn't want it. Canelo doesn't.

Those are two big names, who have also been the last two lineal middleweight champions.

The class of those guys puts GGGs entire resume to shame and they are a very small part of what Hopkins has done and achieved in his career , Bernard is an amazing fighter I doubt there will be another like him .

Hopkins as a 50 yr old would fight GGG right now at 168 and teach him more about professional boxing than he thought was possible .

You're comparing the resume of a 51 year old with the resume of a 34 year old.

Why don't you compare their resumes at similar points in their careers?

Hopkins was 36 when he beat Trinidad.
Golovkin is 34.

Hopkins beat Trinidad 6 years after he won the IBF.
If Golovkin beats Canelo this year, it'll be 6 years after he won the WBA.

The topic was opponents who moved up in weight which is why I didn't get into the topic of their ages.


You obviously lack reading comprehension.

[joseph5620]

So you're ok if GGG fights these names like Canelo and Cotto? They have won belts at MW.

Why would I not be okay with it? Those would be his two best opponents. It would also make Sanchez look like a hypocrite.

I can remember on this site a lot of people were expecting Pavlik to knock Hopkins out. Of course the standard excuses came out after the fight.

Conveniently ignoring everything in Hopkins career prior to the middleweight tournament.

[Bardock]

why do people act like the wba regular title and the ibo are real belts? he has no record

Because they're lil G fans *****
