Hopkings at 49

[funniirishman]

Normally I don't give two shits about boxing..its been such a goat rope for so long...but regardless, if you saw the fight, its pretty incredible at 49 that he's doing what he does. Attributes it to not getting hit and hurt early in his career...

I'm a boxer from years back,,,even as a kid,,,that was my start in sports. Sounds like Hopkins was just a smart fighter.

He just doesn't age.

Yeh but tyson hasn't fought in nearly ten years and his last fights were terrible. Hopkins has barely slowed down.

Just a really smart, technical fighter..really good at not getting hit. And still has great handspeed.
