    Hopkins :what is the credit other than showing the ability and heart not to get discouraged by barely beating the count other than that its a victory for fury that he survived and wilder slacked up in the championship later rounds take that away wilder was winning the fight pretty easily to me"

    Radio raheem : for wilder


    Hopkins :yes

    Radio raheem :you felt like he was winning the first fight all the way to the 12th round

    Hopkins :yes


    2:06. -2:20

    Kellerman : but bernard you havent been off your feet in 20 years how long has it been .

    Hopkins : but guess what that shows credit to me

    Pascal: come on !

    Hopkins :eek:k we found that i was human after we fought .


    Does hopkins contradict himself by saying he thought wilder won easily the first fight. Despite wilder getting outboxed and only scoring two knockdowns . and saying it wasn't a draw but a victory for wilder.

    But yet Hopkins feels he won against pascal. Who knocked him down twice also and their fight was also ruled a draw.

    He givee himself credit for getting up against pascal

    But dosent give fury credit for getting up .

    Pascal got to knockdowns against hopkins. Hopkins outboxed him. Got a draw. But claims he won

    Wilder got two knockdowns against fury . fury outboxed him . got a draw . and Hopkins says wilder beat fury easily .

    Gives himself credit for getting up against pascal

    Gives fury no credit for getting up against wilder the hardest heavyweight hitter today.

    Yes and no, coz they're actually rounds you can give to Wilder to get a draw and if you're really trying, as Hopkins obviously was, get a Wilder win. Although it's stupid and nobody would agree with it.

    Big time B-Hop fan, but whenever he has his promoters hat on, it´s nothing but contradictions and biases.

    Hopkins is old and has taken a lot of hits to the head. He forgets a lot of things.

    He's 65, of course he contradicts himself occasionally.

    It's because Hopkins is a dickhead. Imagine actually liking him as a person.

    Hopkins is a Donkey acting the wise man, many are fooled..Listen to when ever he talks about anything, a straight forward situation that's explainable he has to make out its rocket science and only he knows and he has to break it down so normal educated people can understand..Never ever do I watch him chat, he has no brains but street savvy imo

    Hopkins just likes listening to the sound of his own voice..

    His acting ability in his 40's and early 50's was legendary.

    I think his last fight when he landed outside the ring headfirst can be used to excuse his contradictions. Hopkins remains a low life, racist type, X -convict who just happened to be a great boxer.
