Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Why is it Time? Nobody's Laughing at Me Anymore

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

At 51, Bernard Hopkins may have enough Executioner left in him to make it seem like old times again inside the ring. Just about a month before he turns 52, Hopkins will fight on both his word and contractual obligation for the final time in a 28-year career when he faces 27-year-old Joe Smith Jr. in a light heavyweight bout Saturday in Los Angeles.

The best of this era alongside pac. PAC maybe 8 division titilist which is insane be but the only one who runs PAC close is bh who has done things people never expected of someone his age.
But both broke barriers and did things you aren't supposed to do.

I love Bhop because I grew up on him but why do we praise his win vs Tito and bash Golovkin beating Brook. .both cases is two welterweights moving up, I know Tito fought at MW once before against Joppy, but still..why is one win praised and another bashed?..with that said I rank Hopkins ahead of Floyd, Roy and Manny in the all time great list.

[frantic fighter]

I'm not laughing because it's difficult to discern what you are saying nowadays. I watched an interview from the Tito fight not too long ago and it's night and day.

Tito was a proven ww with 15 title defenses was unified at 147 and then won titles and unified at 154 and won a title at 160..how in the **** are you comparing him with Brook who fought 1 ww worth a damn?

[The Ninth Layer]

Yeah... one big difference between Trinidad and Brook was that Trinidad was proven. A lot of people believed that Tito would smoke Hopkins out, he was the favorite in their fight and certainly the more popular of the two. When Hopkins won it was viewed as somewhat of an upset.

Also Hopkins and Trinidad fought in a middleweight unification tourney, both guys were coming off a set of matches where it was promised the two winners would fight each other. So they both earned their way to the fight, so to speak.

[Weltschmerz]

Tremendous career.
