    What did you think of the replies Hopkins gave? The ones where he told Larry not to be ignorant and explained the situation?

    Your a ****in weirdo. "Larry is a legend" bahahahahaha. Writing post after post defending a dam commentator. You have a crush on Larry? Not to be immature but jesus. He does interviews and not very good ones at that. He asks obvious questions in a manner in which he has no right.HBO shoulda canned this clown long ago.

    I think Hopkins was really articulate in his responses, and he dealt with the whole thing very well. The sheer fact that Merchant came out and asked those question in what caused me to say he spanked Bernard. I loved every minute of it, I'll be honest with you. This coming from an admirer of Hopkins.

    I am now a weirdo for defending Larry Merchant. Your logic is fantastic.

    Hopkins made history and fought everyone en route to locking up an all-time career, and now fighting and beating the young, undefeated lions past age 40.

    yeah i mean i see what you mean lol i just thought you had a vendetta against ruiz .. kinda like how people will be talking about say a don curry fighting a maruice blocker...you'll get someone that'll chime in the thread ..and go .. oh so and so this . like a klitchko hate comment or whatever.. and it'll have absolutly NOTHING to do with the **** at hand lmao

    i agree though i'm a big merch fan i just thought hopkins threw alot of power to come off as boring

    Yes but he is quite clearly criticising him for fighting the fight. Hopkins is just fighting his mandatory, he shouldnt be directing that and laying the blame for the poor standard at hopkins.

    Yet you ignore Hopkins' response, which put Larry back in his place.

    I suppose you side with Larry in thinking Hopkins shouldn't have fought his mandatory?

    That's most definitely not all he does. He interjects his own thoughts and opinions, which is fine, but there's no use in denying that he does it. He isn't the objective analyst you're portraying him as.
