Hopkins takes out De La Hoya with strong body shots

"You can see he's an old man," trainer Floyd Mayweather Jr. told De La Hoya after the third round. "He's an old man."

At 39, Hopkins was old by boxing standards. But he fought with the energy and reflexes of a fighter a decade younger while waiting for his chance to open up against De La Hoya.

Hopkins got a minimum of US$10 million, the biggest payday of his career.
