    I haven't listened to it yet, but I will. In any case Bhop is a favourite of mine. He has given boxing some really great moments in and outside the ring, I hope this is another win, lose or draw!

    Too many people want to criticise boxers without giving anything of themselves to the sport.


    War Bhop!!!!

    I'm not glossing over anything, I just can't manage to imagine where all this is coming from. He fouled and faked against Roy, acted during Calzaghe...did he foul and hold against Pascal? Did he say a single bad thing about Chad to the media after he lost? Is he selfish for giving to multiple charities and hyping Bozella on his under-card?

    Hopkins is no angel by any stretch of the imagination, but the way people talk about him, like above, you'd think he talked **** like Mayorga, fouled, quit, and cried like Judah & Ortiz, held like Ruiz, and made excuses like Haye or Klit fans.

    Wannabe what? ATG fighter? Longest reigning MW champ in history? HOF status?

    What exactly does he 'want to be' that he isn't?

    It's always funny when you see people all like 'Hopkins is boring and hugs and fights dirty' then the same people go on to mention fighters that have failed more drug tests then Lance Armstrong :lol::lol::patsch and apparently these guys are what constitutes a boxer worth admiring.

    Let's just look at the latest events in the careers of these so called great fighters;

    Somwhere in Russia.

    :deal If you can't appreciate Hopkins, then you should be watching another sport because YDKSAB. Craft, man. He's a craftsman and he kills you with 1000 cuts.

    I'm not down with bashing Superman though.

    If you never knew who Hopkins was you can tell he loves generally loves the sport and its not strictly for money based on this speech
