I didn't realize he was that old. Anyway you want to see an old man beat up young guys just watch the Foreman fights from 10 years ago. I don't think I ever cheered more in a fight than the Foreman/Moorer fight when Moorer had George down by points and everyone was thinking George was done until BOOM, he KOs the fucker with a bomb and a half. If Foreman's career ended with that loss by decision to Jimmy Young he would have been known as a great fighter, just short of a legend. But no one will ever be able to take away his comeback. To my knowledge no boxer in history was as good as Foreman at that age. Even Louis was 37 when he started getting dumped. Ali was 38 when he got absolutely destroyed by Holmes. Foreman was 45 when he went toe to toe with 27 year old Moorer and KOed him,and he KOed a few others in his 40s.

That will always go down as one of my favorite fights of all time. Hopkin's chances of doing that are greater since the guy is in much better shape and younger than Foreman was.

Except he doesn't have two bazookas for arms, but I agree with you. If there's a rematch Hopkins can take this guy. Now in 5 years I don't know how good Bernard will be.
