That's another why I always hate to hear people talk shit about Hopkins & him not having power & this & that...Hopkins has power...he just chooses to fight differently than he used to & he pretty much has to at his age no matter what his conditioning.

Look on Youtube for the Lipsey fight...he retired the guy in fashion.

Yeah your right,after Lipsey beat Tyrone trice I thought he was going places at mid.wt .Hokpins absolutley shut him down and closed the show,Probaley one of Hopkins Most "commanding" victories.Brutal execution indeed.

good fight. that was a hell of a combo hopkins throws to end franks night

Vicious combo by Hopkins. I'm a big B-hop fan but hes not the kind of guy you expect to knock a guy out in 20 seconds.

Early on Bean Hopkins Was an assassin.Of course The level of competition is also conside rd but When He was with Butch lewis they showed him on B.E.T network alot and USA network.The first time I saw Him Was vs.Dennis Milton and It was scary and brutal.He had the whole "executioner" Theatrics going on with the leather hood and these two huge muscle dudes with axes Lol.

Back in the day...about the time of this video Hopkins was known VERY well for his power & quick stoppages.

He used to be called "the TERROR" instead of the "Executioner"...I always liked that shit.

He was dead on the money back then.

It was the moniker he used prior to the Executioner.

I've got every Hopkins fight except the very first loss which was his first career fight 15lbs out of his limit. Have NEVER been able to find it & I have bout a shitload of career sets to get it & never have found it.

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry Spicoli , Wacko can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours...but I'll hit you up as soon as you remind me.

If you have it on VHS...no shit...make me a copy & I'll purchase it, trade, or whatever...I've hunted that one for quite some time.

What kills me is that Mitchell went on to do NOTHING after the Hopkins win.

Weird huh. Anywho...I can never get dvd's to work when I do trading so VHS does'nt bother me. For some reason...my discs will never work on certain players. CVD's rarely work on anything other than a compu or XBOX 360.

Hopkins vs Powell for the USBA title was faster than the Frank fight if I aint mistaken.

Hopkins stopped him in 19 or 20 seconds I think. That was during his Terror days when he was stopping a shitload of 'em in the first or second rounds. I believe that it was 20 seconds.

That should be listed on boxrec as the first...I would think. Where do you go on there to find things like that? I've never seen them have a section for fastest knockouts.

Found it out that it was Powell that Hopkins blazed out...but it was in 21 seconds. That's still fast as fwock & it was for Hopkins shot at his first title.

INSANE!!!

Yeah...he was pretty vicious. All of his early fights were exciting as fwock & if you followed Hopkins career the length of it...he's not the boring fighter that everyone rips him for being.

The Trinidad fight & the Joppy fight were two of is best as far as tactically goes...when you look for the ones that are brutal beat downs...you have to give that to the Lipsey, 1st Allen, & John David Jackson fights.

Also the Brown fight was crazy. He straight up fwocked that boy up!!! He just dug into everyone with 3-4 punch combos & topped it off with either an upper or a left hook & they went out cold.

You should really dig to see his early fights...he was masterful.

Thats just it.Hopkins fights are like a Preformance..He'll break you down with a smile and Ko you mentally till your body falls.
I really believe he does not "look for" Kos but really enjoys Breaking guys down and beating them up.
Put on the list of tactical beatdowns W.12 William joppy (dude looked like a gargoyle afterwards) .Or Ko 11 of Glenn Johnson..hard to believe it was johnsons 1st lose................Your right Wack,that Brown ft.was brutal/sad...I dont think Brown should have been in there but he went out on his shield..Literally

---

Yep. He did indeed wear them down tactically & break them apart.

The Joppy fight was just one of his better beat downs. He bet & lost $100.000 dollars on himself to TKO Joppy in that fight. He later stated that it was the best $100,000 that he had ever spent & that he bet if you asked Joppy he wouldv'e paid that much to get out of that ass whoopin.

Hopkins & his mouth are a trip...funny thing is that he has the wills & skills to back it up.

That is one old man that I would not fwock with.

Tactical master.Mother F#!*&$ ng . :army: Ring General Indeed!

Even though I've never been a fan, Hopkins is a beast. Has all the components, and he fights with his head. Just feel like he was dirty at times, more in the second half of his career. But hey, do what you half to right.


:coolclick: for the vid. Had actually never seen that one.
