I understand this way of thinking about not liking people if they're not KO merchants, but I don't subscribe to it. However, not respecting their achievements is a completely different thing, and that I don't understand.
the way I see it , is that if he is boring crowds with tactical and dirty wins, it is up to the opponents he faces to stop that happening, like Kovalev did. it's all well and good saying he should entertain, but that's Bollocks really.
What winners do first and foremost is WIN! everything after that is a bonus.
For his last fight, I personally would like to see him fight Froch. I reckon he beats Froch , as he has too much ringcraft, and furthermore I firmly believe Froch at best is a bit worried about that and at worst Knows it!
good speach
Don't mention it.
i spelt speach right in the first placeQuote:

His elite level days....er,uh....decades have ran its course.
Hopkins v Stevenson or Froch would be good, the only problem is if he wins he will carry on.
He promised his dying mother he wouldn't fight past 40... he lied to his own mother! That old fool will fight until he's 60.
Ha yeah but that fascinates me. One thing you'll never hear me say is "that fight was boring" honestly it's impossible for me.Quote:

Kovalev was the most comprehensive one sided defeat he has taken and it took 65 fights for it to happen against one of the toughest mo fos in the sport today. Hopkins has zero to prove and like him or not is one of the most evolved and adapted boxers over the years. He squeezed every ounce of ability and skill out of mind and body to repeat success over and over. Hopkins. Legend. Fact!
He can do whatever he wants to do, but as a fan I'd like to see him hang the gloves on the ring post, find a couple of top prospects to sponge his mind and await his trip to Canastota.

Quincy fought & TKO'd Julian Jackson with a torn ACL. I was there when Jose Suliaman saw Quincy limping around after KO'ing Raphael Williams. Theyd stalled Quincy on a title shot for ages. Suliaman offered him the title shot KNOWING Quincy did not have time for surgeryon the knee. He was hoping Quincy would have to turn it down & as the injury was not boxing related Quincy might not ever get another chance
As for the Holmes fight Quincy had had surgery but his knee was still numb but he never told anyone > Holmes caught him with a shot & his knee let him down. He was up & ok Holmes thinking he'd hurt Quincy attacked .throwing wild shots & Steele stepped in & stopped the fight. Now I sat with Quincy & watched a tape in slow motion & of all the shots Holmes threw only ONE scored hitting Quincy a glancing blow the others were all blocked or missed. Steele was Don King's ref Who managed Holmes? Don King's stepson Carl need I say more. Quincy never got a chance to rematch Was a blatant screw job.
Oh & BTW Bernard Hopkins promised Quincy he'd get Holmes for him He did too didn't he LOL
A tomato can, he has nothing to prove, he's too old and cant pull the trigger against the youngsters. He really doesn't need to fight anymore, I would like to see him become a trainer though. Give some gatekeeper a payday and ride off into the sunset. This should just be an appreciation fight. Fucking guy is 50...he needs to find some hobbies or something.
