Let me guess, you only saw the countdowns right?

Hopkins pretty much ripped Trinidad up for all 12 rounds. And have you seen the Echols fight? Hopkins is one of the GREATEST conditioned athletes in the sport, he isn't a 4 or 5 round fighter. In fact he could stop opponents late as well as early. He also ripped up Tarver for all 12 rounds. If anything Hopkins could outlast any opponent they put him in the ring with(exception of Roy Jones Jr). So where did that statement of the "4 or 5 round fighter got exposed for it" stuff come from
Not only did I see the actual fights but I have them in my possesion. Yes I did see the Echols fight in which Hopkins turned the guy around and punched him in the back of the head to take control of the fight. He's a dirty fighter and I'm not on his bandwagon cause I don't respect that. I wasn't impressed much with the Tarver fight either and why should I be!? He dominated because 1) Tarver was overhyped 2)Hopkins did his usual holding and punching in the back all night til his opponent wears down. As far as the fight with Tito goes, the only complaint I have is that he started out dirty but he clearly was the better and hungrier fighter that night. Don't forget that Hopkins atarted his career at 175 and Tito at 140 and DLH at around 130 and those are Hopkins biggest accomplishments and what made him.
