Comments Thread For: Hopkins: No Excuses, Golovkin Should Fight Kovalev!

[GodInFleshSuit]

I love BHOP, but this is clearly him trying to take the focus off of Canelo vs GGG and redirect it on a Kovalev fight. GBP aint slick.

No. Just no. TRINIDAD NEVER WON A FIGHT AT MIDDLEWEIGHT. NEVER.

He beat Joppy in the first leg of that tournament. May have beat Mayorga at 160 as well afterwards but he was no middleweight.

His resume from age 44-49 ****s all over GGG's. Bottom line!

That has nothing to do with your post about Hopkins moving up when he stayed at middleweight fighting nobodies and smaller guys for over 13 years.

I love BHOP but the truth is the truth. And why do you act like GGG career is over? Judge him on his career when that time comes. He has stated he wants to unify and break Hopkins record for defenses, after that if he has no competition and doesn't move up for bigger fights then I agree he doesn't want to be an all time great fighter.

LOL So what weight did he win his WBA middleweight belt from William Joppy? Nevermind. I've been here long enough to know that idiots like you won't respond when you realize how ignorant you are.

Why? Because he beat William Joppy? The guy was a career 147-154 lb fighter. He was not a middleweight. He got schooled by a real middleweight in Hopkins and I believe Winky at 160 as well. Anyone who says he was a legitimate middleweight based on one fight against a middling guy in Joppy was badly mistaken.

Yes and it's that simple. He destroyed Joppy, could no longer make the weight below 160, and was favored to beat Hopkins. Using your logic Hopkins is still a middleweight because most of his career was at that weight and he lost some fights.

My bad. He did beat Joppy. And won two post retirement fights at MW, one against Mayorga. Then lost bad to Winky Wright and Roy Jones. He was never considered a real MW, never looked good there.

thats fascinating and all, except that wasnt the comment I replied to. It was THIS gem, referencing Hops middleweight run......

Yep, when there was actual competition at MW

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

lil triple flop is a straight up coward he will never test himself, I hear he wished he can just accept step aside money for the rest of his life and fight in alleys instead.

You don't have to tell me that. I'm glad you did some reading. You should do that more often before you speak on things you don't know anything about.


Trinidad also knocked out Hacine Cherifi after the Trinidad fight before he retired. To say he never looked good at 160 is just more ignorance on your part.

Yep. One decent win at MW in Joppy. Sorry. But he was never considered a top MW. He was a great WW and managed 3 wins at JMW/SWW. I guess Vargas was his best at JMW. I really liked Tito as a welter, he was calm but with a huge kick to his punch. He was my top favorite for a long while.
