Do people realize Hopkins went from age 28-40 undefeated?

      whos crawford beat who is at the level of shawn porter? 2 division lineal champ sounds less impressive when they are the two worst divisions in boxing. his two best wins just lost to nobodies- diaz and indongo.

          Hopkins was so obviously on PEDs... it's weird that people talk about back acne and ******* all the time but hardly ever mention the fact there was a 50 year old man fighting for championship titles.

              I don't rate GGG as the same quality of champion as Hopkins. I just think Hopkins was greater. But I also won't dismiss GGG. He's a great champion. As far as the age, Hopkins is an anomaly. It's ridiculous to hold other fighters to that standard. I simply won't entertain that way of thinking.

                They made excuses for him.

                  Hopkins is also one of the great outliers in the history of boxing. What he did is ****ing ridiculous. Most fighters hit their late 30s and they're either shot or close to it. You can't judge everyone by Bernard freaking Hopkins.

                    Did he ever do drug testing? I'm guessing not VADA.
