F--- boxing

If you saw the fight, as you say, then there is no way you can say Tavoris Cloud was any near the caliber of fighter Hopkins has fought during his career. Cloud was clearly out-smarted by the veteran Hopkins.

 

He's not my BFF. The point I was making was that Cloud isn't anywhere near the caliber of fighter De La Hoya was.

 

WHICH ONE IS DE LA HOYA? I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOXING.

 

Google it.

 

It's a legitimate concern for the safety of a 48-year-old warrior. I'm not alone in feeling this way. He doesn't have the pop in his jab or move the way he used to. Father time catches up to us all. The shots that he took during his career have taken its toll. Anyone who has covered him for any length of time can see that. Again, he has nothing to prove. Unfortunately, he has an itch that he just has to scratch.
And again, he's not a close personal friend.

 

Kudos to Hopkins for being able to do what he's done, especially at his age. However, I have to agree that he's slowed down from where he was before and I really don't want to see it when Father Time finally does catch up with him.

 

Was he light heavyweight champion of the world before?

 

In his first fight in the light heavyweight class, Hopkins won the International Boxing Organization and Ring titles from Antonio Tarver. Hopkins lost the Ring title to Joe Calzaghe in 2008, but later regained the belt in a match with Jean Pascal. Hopkins also won Pascal's WBC title in the match, and at 46 years, 4 months, and 10 days old broke George Foreman's record as the oldest fighter to ever win a world championship.

On March 9, 2013, Hopkins defeated Tavoris Cloud for the IBF light heavyweight championship of the world at age 48 becoming the oldest man in recorded boxing history to win a recognized world boxing championship

 

DID YOU CLIP THIS FROM WIKIPEDIA?

 

I and many others think he should. He doesn't. I wish him the best and hope he doesn't get hurt in the ring.

 

I ACTUALLY CHECKED A COUPLE OF SOURCES BUT I DID CLIP A PORTION OF THIS FROM WIKIPEDIA. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? IS THERE SOMETHING FACTUALLY INCORRECT?

 

Only plagiarism.
