5 hard fights in a row.

[eagle]

Just noticed that BHOP will be fighting his 5th top line fight in a row against Joe C.

Taylor
Taylor
Tarver
Wright
Calzaghe.

Is this the best quality of opponent for 5 fights in a row that a recent fighter has faced?

Taylor himself went
Hopkins
Hopkins
Wright
Spinks
Pavlik

Or Rapha Marquez
Mabuza x 2
Vasquez x 3

Anyone else i've missed who has had 5 in a row tougher?

Cotto has had nothing but tough opponents going back to Malignaggi. Malignaggi, Quintana, Urkal (who gave a good fight), Judah and Mosley is pretty impressive.

Hopkins has probably had the toughest run though.

Yeah it was a good run by Cotto but i can think of many others who have had a similiar run.
Not to start a PBF v Cotto thread but i believe

Judah, Baldomir, ODLH, Hatton, ODLH is just as tough as Cotto's run.

DLH went
Mosely
Sturm
Hopkins
Mayorga
Mayweather.

Not too bad

[Bookkeeper]

Trinidad went

De La Hoya
Reid
Thiam
Vargas
Joppy
Hopkins

and they were all champions, I don't think anything beats that run

I dont think that run beats any of the others i named. 2 greats in DLH and Hopkins. 1 good champ in Vargas, 3 also rans in Joppy, Thiam and Reid.

I think your opinion is more based on hindsight than it was at the time, DLH was the biggest fight of the decade, Reid and Vargas were the next big thing's and should have never been thrown in there with Tito, nevertheless they were champions and were never the same after their fight with Tito, Thiam was a lower case champion ( non major ) but he was no journeyman, many thought Joppy was the best MW in the world, and we all know about Hopkins. The funny thing about your post is that Hopkins is one of your greats and rightfully so, but if Trinidad would have knocked him out in that fight he would not have been a great, when you look at it that way Joppy, Vargas, Reid would have been greats if they would have beaten Tito. He took on the best competition that was around at the time, and since he ruined them people look back in hindsight and say those guy's werent greats, but that's not the tune they were singing at the time.

Urkal was crap. He was fighting out his best weight

Damn bookkeeper comes back for a day and already I'm wishing he'll fuck off back to wherever he's been these past few months.

Is there a more irritating poster on all of saddos?

Mikkel Kessler


Anthony Mundine
Eric Lucas
Markus Beyer
Librado Andrade
Joe Calzaghe

[C-Lo]

Mayorga:

Trinidad
Piccirillo
De La Hoya
Vargas
Cotto

Cotto? He definitely did not fight Cotto.

[Greig]

Surely first prize must go to Anthony 'The Man' Mundine...

Rueben Eduardo Acosta
Sam Soliman
Pablo Daniel Zamora Nievas
Jose Alberto Clavero
Nader Hamden

[BoomBoom]

Barerra fought:
Erik Morales
Johnny Tapia
Kevin Kelly

Nice one Greig. That should strengthen Anthony's P4P claims. What an incredible list of fighters. And don't forget he's fighting the mighty King Soliman a second time. Very brave so that would make it 6 in a row. I challenge anyone to beat that.

What do you Aussies think of Soliman ?? he sounds an ok guy outside the ring but i can't stand him inside the ring, as i have said many times his style reminds me of a drunk monkey terrible to watch. And actually this will be the 3rd time Mundine has fought Soliman, he fought him back in 2001 when Soliman lost a close decision, then Soliman got embarrassed back in 2007 as we all know, now this will be the 3rd time he has fought him. This will go under one of the most pointless fights in the history of boxing.
