    Hopkins is in the same predicament which led to Barrera leaving GBP.........he can no longer beat the elites, but still wants to get paid like one.

    well, when its all said and done, GBP only have themselves to blame, they didnt need hopkins one bit really (hopkins is a legend, but he aint THAT popular) and one would have to know that hopkins would end up tearing that partnership up somehow.

    I dont understand Hopkins, i thought he was smarter then this... guess not.

    Good job Bernard, ruin a partnership and a business deal that will have you set for life after boxing because you are to dumb to realize you are washed up. What is he really going to do?? One or two more fights and then he's done he cant beat guys like Dawson or Bute. He aint beating Cunningham or Huck and he sure as **** aint making it out of the 3 round vs Haye(and thats being nice).

    Hang them up Bernard you are being stupid.

    Legitimacy. He is a top p4p fighter and one of the most decorated boxers of the past decade.

    He wants Haye.

    Goldenboy(who i agree with) won't give that to him.

    What a ****in statement! Totally 100% agree!

    If B-Hop was half as good as he makes out he wouldn't have made that **** bucket rematch with Jones. He knows he's on borrowed time, he's an ATG acting like a total dickhead.

    Fight Dawson, who deserves his shot at big time recognition, or **** off!

    Hopkins is not some ****in puppet. **** Golden Boy. Hopkins doesn't need them. Those people are lucky that Nard worked at their stupid ass company and gave them some legitimacy. And if Schaefer thinks he can tell Hopkins when to hang em up, he can go **** himself. Fight the system, B-Hop. Don't let these blood suckers deprive you of your principals.:mad:

    I always see De La Hoya squashed between Mosley and Hopkins at big fights. Absurd really Hopkins, i heard 20th Century Fox want to employ you for the great role you played in the Roy Jones fight at the weekend though.
