Hopkins got his ass handed to him by Calzaghe though...

Hopkins stayed at Middleweight for a decade doing the same thing Triple G is doing now lol... and waits for smaller guys to move up and he should be recognized lol? He also fought a lot of nobodies at Middleweight and lost to JT twice...Triple G would destroy the same JT that beat B-Hop twice btw...

Your just getting fkn DUMBER by the minute! Hopkins fought Roy Jones Jr. ( Who you Probably never heard of) on his 23 fight! Ggg is on his 36 fight you ****** fk!

And he was 40 years old when he lost by Split Decision to JT.

Hopkins was also 43 and LOST by Split Decision to Calzaghe. Calzaghe never stomped Hopkins...After the fight he even said was his toughest opponent. Not bad for a 43 year old MAN!

You make sht up your a fkn flat out POS LIAR!!!

Got his ass handed to him by Calzage? I know quite a few people that scored that one for Hopkins. Either way. Even though that has nothing to do with my post. Hopkins lost to a white boy. Which likely means you jerk off watching replays of it.

Anyway. Yep, I have often said that Hopkins' middleweight run is overrated. And yes, he lost two questionable decisions to Taylor, at age 40, after fighting in the same division for nearly two decades. But, his post-Taylor success leads me, ans many others to believe that he overstayed his welcome at 160.

Which takes me to my next point. After his loses to Taylor, Hopkins jumped two divisions and challenged the Tarver, for the legitimate light heavyweight title. The top guy there. Hopkins did that in his 40s. GGG didn't even wanna move up and challenge the top guy a division north. And any mention of him moving up two divisions and challenging the Ward-Kovalev winner, who will be the legitimate light heavyweight champion, is met with more b1tch'n and moan'n, and excuses than a muf.ucka going to jail. So yeah, there's some similarities between Hopkins and GGG's runs at middleweight. Buy if you're gonna tell the story. Tell the whole story. And tell it right.

So, you wanna talk about lists ?


Here is the list of fighters that Hypekin COULD have fought, but CHOSE not to (in order).....

* Mora
* Ward
* Lara
* Cotto
* Canelo


Here is the list of " notable " names from Golovkin's resume'.....

* Murray
* Lemieux


Why is the list of fighters who Golovkin ducked, MUCH bigger than the list of guys who he beat?

Don't forget Chavez Jr. After the beating he gave Andy Lee.

I know Bob Arum eventually killed the fight with his ****** extension demands BS.

But if you really want to fight someone why would you make it more difficult by adding a $1,000,000 per/ lb penalty to an ALREADY agreed upon deal??? Especially after the fact weeks later?? Just goes to show they make fights difficult.

And Saunder! If he's all about the belts why not pay the additional $2.5 million??? They let everyone think they offered WAY more than $1.5 million. Even Loeffler was flat out asked about it and he said can't discuss exact figures but it's a life altering amount. He let ppl believe Saunders turned down $6 million to fight. All he wanted was $4 million to fight even in the states. $1.5 + $2.5 = $4. They didn't even try negotiate above $1.5!!!

LMAO!!! You're just as delusional as always. Yeah Golovkin totally ducked Cotto & Canelo you fucking nutjob. Mora is some ****** no one wants to see ever, Lara has never offered to fight Golovkin on HBO at middleweight, not yet anyways and Ward could have CHOSE to fight Golovkin in 2013 when Golovkin offered to fight him at 168 but Ward chose not to, so I guess that means Ward was ducking Golovkin under your ******ed logic. Continue on being a dumb ass though

Canelo-Khan had very little support within the hardcore boxing community. Which means pretty much everybody that ordered that fight was a diehard Canelo and/or casual fan. Casual fans don't care about belts. Canelo's dieharda are gonna be there regardless. The only people that cared about the belt were the GGG diehards and hardcore fight fans. All of whom didn't purchase Canelo's fight anyway. He lost nothing.

Casual fans do care about belts and world titles. That's why world title fights make more money than non title fights. And many of Canelo's Mexican fans care very deeply about him handing over his belt to Golovkin. Have you been living on a desert island for the past few weeks?

Golovkin ducked Ward at 168, by demanding 164..... as you well know

No he didn't. The first attempt to make a fight between Golovkin and Ward failed because Ward wasn't ready for it. The second "attempt" was rejected by Loeffler who told Ward that if he wanted to fight GGG at 168 for 50% of the purse he should get back to them in 2017, because Golovkin was focused on 160 for the next year and Ward might be worth the money he was asking for by then.

Talk about 164 was just talk. You know, like when Ward called out Floyd at 160

why do you idiots insist on acting as if there were any offers on the table from Cotto or Canelo??? Hint: there WERENT. Not at 155, 156, and not at ANY weight.

Dip****

[Elotero]

You do realize team Lil G talk out of ther @zz as well didn't they say anyone from 154-168lbs but then when Lara n Ward come knocking Lil G comes up with excuses not to fight them. So I'll give Nelo a pass seeing how you give Lil g a pass for not fighting either of the two guys I mention above

youre applying "what-about-ism"

this is not a question of "what-about" what golovkin is doing.

Because they were they were written by an idiot.

Na, not a dessert island. But I will admit I don't keep up with the day-to-day outta the ring stuff nearly aa closely as you do. So I'll defer. Maybe you're right. Maybe Canelo will go from top draw in the sport to can't draw flies because of this. But I've been following boxing for a very long time. And guys that crossover and build a good casual fan base are usually pretty bullet proof. Floyd was accused of ducking pretty much everyone, basically from his PPV debut against Gatti until his laat fight against Berto. And hia casual base stayed intact. And he was accused of ducking other crossover stars, and it didn't affect him. Oscar never fought Winky Wright and refused to fight Vargas for a long time. It never affected his casual base. Even before my time Ray Leonard never fought Hawk Pryor and BS'd around with Hagler for a long time. And it never seemed to affect his drawing power. Casual fight fans are fickle. They are just as, if not more passionate about their favs as you or I. And they support them with about 10% the knowledge that folks like you and I have. That leads me to believe you're probably putting too much stock in belts and GGG's relevance among casuals.
