    Ray Robinson was fundamentally sound - why didn't he fight as long as Hopkins?

      Tell that to Sergio Martinez and Hopkins..I don't see Mayweather slowing down for years to come. Even if he does, he's fundamentally sound.

        I can't tell. I haven't seen him fight in a year and fighters get old overnight (or so it looks).

          His head wasn't in the game.

            Mayweather shows more signs of slowing down than Martinez does IMO. Not everyone is the same. Like I said...maybe it's not Ortiz. Just like it wasn't Ruiz for Jones. But it's coming--the signs are there.

              He wasn't as good either. It happens to pretty much everyone.

                I would be amazed if it was competitive. It wont be though, its a **** fight, pointless.

                    He looks unbeatable against old bums and he's been fighting old, shot, small bums for so long that people think he's really unbeatable.



                    I predict Ortiz will kick his ass, win or lose.

                      Hopkins is the exception not the rule. For every BHop there are about 500 other fighters who are ripe for picking by the time they're 35.
