    Very true.

    But Hopkins and Jones are in their 40's.

    So I def did not expect them to compete like Hagler and Hearns who were in their near primes when they fought.

    Me neither. I just didn't think they should have competed at all. To me. it was like Botha-Holly--or Hill-LaLonde--or Cotzee-Barkley. What did it prove? And the PPV figures seem to bear this thinking out to some degree.

    WHAT !?

    Iran Barkley vs. Gerry Coetzee was the greatest display of heavyweight boxing skill I have ever witnessed !
