Boxing Trivia (What only Hardcore fans know)

FOR ANYONE WHO NEVER SAW THE ABOVE FIGHT & View Hopkins as a clincher, PLEASE!! WATCH THESE FEW ROUNDS!!

I think twice when Mercado was hurt he tried to clinch n hold...Bhop the Terror? He wanted no part in clinching! It's a trip to watch him back then, he was a banger for about 3 or 4 years!

Man is on his own island when it came to recreating a world class formula. Ring chemist and righteous individual from start to finish. Almost a career run of legit jump on your chest annihilator around Joe Lipsey, JD Jackson to the Bo James break down & beat up artist to Hopkins the over analytical pot shot sniper at the end.

Man! Did he put Lipsey to sleep or what?
How ironic the 1st Joe he blasted into lala land , the 2nd Joe out hustled him and the last Joe blasted him out.
The ring!
Talk about an example of over-staying. Side note- Makes me respect Calzaghe all the more. Retire should mean just that.

the over analytical pot shot sniper
Nice!

Well this is news at least to me. I always thought Roy went back down to face tarver-because he wanted to shut him out for continously calling him out.


Roy Jones Jr in The gloves Are off- told his comrades he was chasing Bob Fitzsimmons record of going UP to HW & back down to LHW in 1896. Around 22mn into clip.

Sometimes what boxers say are not true but could believe this as Roy was interested in making history.

When Roy said he deliberately lost a fight to get at his dad I do not believe.

Collins was trying to sell a comeback fight against Roy. Eubank embarasses Collins numerous times especially for avoiding Calzaghe.

Can anyone name some 5'10 fighters that have fought at various weight classes? Seems it goes as low as WW up HW-- champions that is!

I thought Tyson an Rocky were shorter than 5ft 11?

I went up and shook Trinidad's hand at a concert. But he had just gotten up out of his seat and there was quite a crowd... so I couldn't say much about his height. It does surprise me to learn he's 5'11".
