Completely different. Hopkins is an athlete in his mid-40's - he could be on hormone replacement therapy legally. Injuries that usually take 6 months to heal can be fine in 6 weeks if you take the proper amount of therapeutic hormone.
that ranks right up there with OJ Simpson doing everything he could to make that glove look like it couldnt possibly fit his hand....pathetic Lampley...
If this thread is to prove that Hopkins is afraid or reluctant or hesitating... Ask urself the question - Against whom does Bernard carry more risk of losing, the undefeated Bute who won a shutout against Glen Johnson or Chad Dawson?
Chad imo...he may not be the flavor of the week anymore, but hes exactly the type to give Hopkins nightmares - rangier, long jab, good boxer, young and relatively active. Bute is more fashionable but hes not as good at the things that Hopkins worries about, infact he (hop) would have a good chance of roughing him up and stopping him.
you see what happened in the roughing dept....hopkins looked like a middleweight in size next to dawson....age and size caught up with him that night...hopkins made a business move to ***** out....because its one that really cant be 100% proven.... miguel cotto whos face was beaten to a pulp bloody and having been down a few times after nearly 11 rounds gets labled a quitter because he couldnt make it another 6-7 minutes...a guy like hopkins quits after not even being punched in the face one time because no one dare ****ing question an This content is protected ...but question cottos heart even 3 years later :rofl
Though the injuries are diffrenet I beleive he did say(Scully) that his injury was less severe than Hopkins ..
John Scully has fought some top guys and has forgotton more than you will ever know about boxing, wanker.
What are you talking about? Of course Scully is going to say something negative. He is with Dawson. He wants the money, I mean rematch. Why the hell would Hopkins feel he is going to lose when the fight was just starting and there was no one doing any serious damage. Doesn't make any sense why any of you posters are being negative about Hopkins. He has fought the best. Oh yea, Dawson is so dangerous and scary. Stop and listen to what your saying. Dawson has done what?
Has Hopkins fought the best ? Yes in lower weights ..Dawson was the best at his current weight and it took for ever to Hopkins to get in the ring with Dawson .Once he was in there with Chad he found a way out by acting his way out, thats why people are negative on him !
Come on man. We are questioning a ATG. Tarver did not count? Chad has done what lately? The best at his weight, he lost to Pascal who Hopkins schooled. I can understand if Hopkins was getting beat or schooled for him to ***** out, but come on that was not the story. I am not even a big Hopkins fan and I believe he is getting the short end of the stick.
Im not questioning what he did before ,**** his own peers have questioned him yet let me guess were all haters . Sorry that reminded me of the Oscar acting job against Hopkins ,but what were we wrong to question that as well ? Greats can pull a con job ,as the paying public we should be allowed to voice our displeasure to these circus acts ! Had he not pulled similar stunts aginst legends in Jones and Calzaghe maybe no one would be have said anything .
I just feel it is premature to thin he would pull something like this especailly that the fight did not even get heated just yet.
