the only thing really againest hoipkins is his age, at 43 he's not goner be the execustioner anymore, we saw that in his last fight with winky, joes not all that skillful as people say, he's got plenty of stamina and throws over 1000 punchs a fight which will win him the fight. if the hopkins who beat tito was still around then bernard would beat joe but at this stage the old mans to far gone to really be classed fav, but i'd love b-hop to win this, no knock on joe but he's taken the lesser route in his carreer, never taking a trip to the states, never fighting the real big names in the sport, he pulled out twice from fighting glen johnson, he turned down the fight with roy jones, took fghts with bika, manfredo etc etc instead, he fought eubank when simple the best was way pasted his best, plus eubank came out of retirement with 8 days notice and was weight draid, joe still says eubanks was his touighest fight, that sadly is a reflection on how joes gone about his regeign, fighting decent euro boxer, eubank was superb but a shadow of his former self so 10 years later he shouldn't be the toughest fight joes still had

i just dont feel joes done anything to deserve having hopkins name in his win record, his tougest fight to date is a shot 8 day notce eubank, and his biggest win could be againes a 43 year old semi retired hopkins, inbetween his foght alot of guys we dont remember, this should not have been the case, therefore he'll always be discredited in years to come, his unbeaten record will only be for him to be proud of
