I didn't expect him to slaughter Tarver (as he did) but I watched it...& I am a pleased fwock.

As I have said in the past...Hopkins is an all timer.

#1: Destroyed pretty much all middles of consequence in his line.
#2: Beat Taylor in the first fight...no matter what.
#3: Destroyed Tito, Joppy, Echols, & Oscar...all champions.
#4: Was undefeated for more than a decade.
#5: Now beat the 175 WC.

Beautiful.
just like with calzaghe, ive been a supporter of hopkins through it all really....and to be honest there weren't all that many saying outright that hopkins would win this one either, just like joe in the lacy fight....anyways, this is the time for hopkins to stop...

he cannot improve upon this....a job well done!!!!!
