Just stop hating and move on now please.

When he fights jones and pavlik, i have no doubt you will be rooting against him in those fights aswell, but youll see he will beat them aswell.

Even when he beats them there will be excuses et al.

Just accept it, joe simply is a cut above the rest...enjoy him rather than hating

I picked and routed for Joe to win tonite, but Joe would never KO Hopkins in a million yrs. And that's not hate talking...just the plain and simple truth. No one has even really come close to ko,ing Hopkins, and Joe was no exception.
I agree with you, i dont think that hopkins can be ko'd, his defense, chin and ability are too high.

That said, calzaghe did rock him in the 10th or 11th where bhop had to clinch, it looked like he might go down if he was caught again, but he clinched.

End of the day im not taking anything away from hopkins, as tough as they get, great boxer!

Hes lost 5 times now, 2 of those from jones and calzaghe...fighters who are the elite of boxing and had a lot of trouble in a close fight.

I cant see hopkins getting ko'd, neither could i see calz get ko'd either, both have granite chins.

The fight proved hopkins to be a real tough cookie, but joe adapted his game and thats the reason why he won, a lesser fighter than joe wouldnt have been able to do that!
