We all know that Hop will pull off some s-hit before he gets beat flat out, that's what I'm waiting for.
as i mentioned in the gif thread..its a shame that this fight is so tragic you can't just talk about the action which was
..benn-mcclellan is prolly the best fight ive seen at 168.....prolly in the history of 168..well that maybe going too far lol...but so many things that were wrong came to a head that night

Yeah, I don't think this would've happened if he kept Emmanuel Steward in his corner, and we might have even seen Jones-McClellan. It's a shame that Roy is still fighting even though he's seen the condition Gerald is in, although he is still supporting him financially. Don King is a motherfukker, it was disgusting to see him courting Benn directly after the fight.as i mentioned in the gif thread..its a shame that this fight is so tragic you can't just talk about the action which was

It's ridiculous
How does Adonis get any blame whatsoever? If they truly had a deal, they would take him to court. They really didn't and that's why he could shop around like he did. A guy getting the most money possible is good business. Adonis has been saying since he beat Dawson that he wanted Hopkins but HBO ain't done shyt to make the fight happen. HBO's becoming a joke. GGG never fights anybody good. Ward never fights period. Nobody gives a fukk about Bradley. Ruslan is ready to become a new age Gatti but because of this retarded cold war they can't get him any legit opponents.
HBO at times just puts out fights on some random shyt and hopes that some type of magic happens...like in the case of bradley-provodnikov...they seriously forgot how to build stars...speaking of that fight...Ruslan as far as i know is not signed to HBO and Arum only has options one more fight so he too can walk away just like Adonis did
B hop is top OAT
Stevenson Hopkins could be one of the best fights we've seen in years--it's fukking BHOP y'all.
Stevenson and Kovalev are on different levels. Kovalev's best win is...Cleverly? Stevenson Dawson shyts all over that fight

Another good documentary, this one on Ray Mancini and the Duk Koo Kim fight, Mancini finally meets the son of the Duk Koo Kim.

Yeah, Kim's mom drank a bottle of pesticide because the family was squabbling over the $10,000 that was coming to the family. The ref committed suicide, but family and friends said it had nothing to do with the Kim fight, but that he was constantly depressed. When you watch the Mancini-Kim fight, he did a good job, so you can't even really fault him for a tragic accident.

That Mancini/Kim doc was very sad.

Beating a prime Adonis at 50 would be one of the most impressive wins ever. I think there's a real argument you could make if that happened. If B-hop had Floyd's charisma or a better management team, the perception of him would be a lot different.
Example: if the Spurs played in NY, they'd be one of the most legendary teams of all time in any sport. But since they play in SA, they get a fraction of the love and coverage they deserve and labeled "boring".
He demoralized and embarrassed Trinidad, a Hall of Famer all time great, Puerto Rican hero ... and we talk abt Tito more in this thread than BHop who is still fighting, what does that tell you?
Tito captured our imagination, he had personality and was a prolific finisher. Likable fighter.
BHop won ugly and he can be annoying as helll, and he doesn't have exciting fights.
On record alone though, if you wanna make the argument WITH a W over Adonis, I think you can.
