He certainly doesn't fight like a young man and is nothing like how he was 20 years ago.
Interesting shout, he definatly learnyt how to compensate for his dodgy hands... must have been thought hundreds of punches a minute.

As for Hopkins, I agree he doesn't fight like a young fighter, but for someone his age his lifestyle has clearly extended his sell-by date dramatically.
