Abel critical of Hopkins Record. Says "he fought smaller opposition "

[HanzGruber]

GGG went from "poor record" to "no record at all" what's next?

i mean hes not breaking the record for title defenses.. they include ibo and wba regular which is dumb

[Mitchell Kane]

Tito had a middleweight title
Oscar had a middleweight title....dont try to spin this..

WBO was a paper title and DLH's win was a joke decision.

DLH wasn't losing that fight with Hopkins looming.

Don't try to spin that.

Abel is making GGG look bad with these rants he goes on.

From what has been quoted by the OP (I didn't read the full interview) Sanchez says Hopkins was a good fighter but is significant wins were against smaller men. That's quite true.

People also tend to forget that Hopkins played the game and gave into the demands that Oscar wanted.....money, catch-weight etc.

Agreed. GGG should get Canelo to compromise at 157 and make the fight. It only makes him a bigger name and in all honesty, I can't see anyway that Canelo can win.

Abel Sanchez - "We'll fight Floyd at 154lbs."...

Floyd prefers 152lb.

Im not spinning anything just pointing out facts..Tito was a legit 160 fight with Hopkins

Now they disrespecting Hopkins , at the same time they are calling out a WW while ducking Ward and GGG has beat nothing but B graders .

Hopkins fought atgs including Roy Jones , umm Lemon and Wade dont cut the mustard .

Well it's true that B-Hop's biggest wins, Tito, Oscar, and Pavlik were smaller men moving up.

It's also true that Trinidad and Pavlik are better opponents than anyone on Golovkin's resume.

Also, Trinidad was a legitimate middleweight with a belt when he fought Hopkins. He wasn't "moving up."

Neither Sanchez or Golovkin are in any position to criticize Hopkins opposition. Especially with this garbage fight tomorrow night.

It's also true that Trinidad and Pavlik are better opponents than anyone on Golovkin's resume.

But Hopkins also beat undefeated LHWs and just went the distance with the most damaging LHW in his prime for years at 50 yr old , Bernard fought every body up and down , fck me GGG cant carry Hopkins gym bag .

Yes he fought smaller men, and he also fought bigger men. He fought everybody. I'm still blown away that he wanted Kovalev. Even though he lost, he had the nads to get in there with him at 50. A great fighter but the dirtiest one as well. Unbelievable ride after the age of 40.

The embarrassments were the first fight with Chad Dawson and the questionable stoppage, the Jones rematch when he was whining about the low blow, the whining during the Calzaghe fight, and losing to Jermaine Taylor again for lack of activity.

I don't know how his punches per round were so low around the age of 40 but went up so much more as he got older. Strange.

[NapalmKnuckles]

Sanchez = horse's ass.

Even if you divide BHop's resume into 2, both his reign at 160 AND 175 shits on GGG's entire career.
