bernard hopkins. started boxing as a young teen. was a golden gloves amateur champ. went to prison. boxed in prison. came out of prison turned pro. still fighting at 48
where was the late start or break?
And how often does that happen. We're talking averages here, the majority, not freaks of nature. Men degrade. Anderson has been fighting the best of the best for a long time. Hopkins has been coasting through his golden years fighting bums. Put anderson in a lesser organization and watch him dominate but people will say
*but hes fighting bums*
I dont know. I think i got emotional.bums? you cant be serious.

I don't want to see Anderson become Roy Jones status
after I saw that fight I told my boy whos a HUGE anderson fan, that Weidman may be up there with him in a few, and he had no idea who weidman was and laughed it off.....Something about the dude just seemed like he had "it". I think at this stage, Weidman is too well rounded to lose to silva, but anything can happen any given night. Silvas the GOAT, but its someone elses time now, IMO.I don't either. That's my fear. Even before the first Weidman fight, I thought it was Weidman's fight. I just thought it would go down differently. Ever since I saw Weidman vs Andre Galvao at the Abu Dhabi in 2009...something about Weidman being a purple belt and almost strangling the current arguable best pound for pound grappler on the planet. He's way more of a phenom than he gets credit for.
But yeah. I would love to see Silva come back and rock Weidman, I'm just scared about Silva's wrestling. I still think Silva easily takes 99% of 185. I would like to see Silva/Jacare.

God already told anderson that its time to retire but he didnt heed the message and now, i suspect he'll be made humble again. Weidman already had him unconscious in their second fight. He should really get out of there. This is a young mans game and hes to past his prime, friend.
