I may have to reconsider using my age as an excuse for anything on the mat.

A true phenom. In my book, one of the smartest fighters ever to box.

From the article: "Opponents don’t worry about facing his speed or power. They fear what’s going on in his head."

A very special boxer!!!

Maybe we put the Kibosh on Hopkins. Saw his loss to Sergey Kovalev on Saturday night. Hopkins ran into a bigger, stronger, longer, faster, younger opponent. Kovalev won each and every round, and did so brilliantly. Really mastered his distance in the fight.

I hope Hopkins fights again, wins and maybe retires.

Yes he was very patient and he just to much for Bernard.

Yeah, one last big fight with decent purse even for a loss, but go out like Ricky Hatton.
