Ray, man, lighten up. If hes not your cup of tea then drink warm milk, ya know. Hopkins knows the sport inside and out and could write a phonebook on ring generalship. Hes as 'old school' today as we as fans are blessed to have. Seriously I have no doubt he of all people runs opponent strategy and games rounds in his sleep and in the morning when hes clipping those annoying gray ear hairs. James Toney was old school in style and mind at one time but now he is a punchline. Hopkins is running with "kids" half his age into his 40's going on 50 ffs and holding his own against some of the better fighters going today not to mention breaking his own records. You can't slight a dude because he was born into another era and equally you cannot slight an era or label it weak because its not the one we fell in love with.
