how come hopkins is adored for fighting small guys but floyd is criticed for fighting

[DonTaseMeBrah]

de la hoya was a middleweight champion?

damn this one post proves you dont know **** about boxing

one of the rare times i agree with larry x. chronic, put down the chronic & see de la hoya vs sturm robbery.

I ain't going as far as saying i am a fan of hopkins but as a boxing fan you got to give respect, or at least a little respect to his role in boxing.

hey i cant keep track of every fighter, and i dont like de la hoya, im not watching his **** fights, he fights like a dumbass

Because B-Hop faught everyone there was to face. He didn't duck no one and is looking to face Adamek, winner of Johnson vs Dawson. People wouldn't have a problem with Mayweather facing Marquez if he revealed that he is looking to face Shane or winner of Cotto vs Pacquiao. But Mayweather isn't gonna over look Marquez and as respectful as that is, that can work against him.

Juan Manuel Marquez, which is more of a fighter than oscar de la hoya ever was
so im just saying, street bully, and other hopkins fans, you cant critic floyd
not to mention this is a tune up

Hopkins got ate up for that, but he immediately moved up in weight.

Acting like he didn't go 2 times with Taylor. Middleweight was dead that it actually let Oscar come up and seem like a good fight. But once Taylor planted his flags, Hopkins jumped on it, twice, against Taylor...over all I think Hopkins has made the propper progressions.

But I still can't believe he let Calzaghe frustrate him, I never saw that coming. I thought Hopkins had more poise than that, I still remember at one point, Hopkins was so frustrated that he tried to flurry Joe with the same soft **** that Joe would flurry on him...I've never seen Hopkins get out of form like that before.

Oscar was a unified champ at 154 and even though he was out of shape, was competitive and fought close against Sturm. If Oscar was in shape for that Sturm, he'd have won a comfortable UD.

He was the first to stop De La Hoya, the fight was at a catchweight of 156 (that B-Hop actually made), and barely anyone give Hopkins credit for that win anyway.

I tried homey. For real, Bhop deserves better my ******.

Bernard cleaned out the division in which everyone weighed the same as him...DLH went after Bernard...and Trinidad was a champion at 160...

And Marquez went after Mayweather. I'm sure that if it was the other way around this wouldn't be a welterweight fight would it?
