    How was a living legend, ATG fighter, set for life financially forced to fight Chad Dawson exactly???

    This thread is proof that ******s roam this board. I can't believe I read that a 48 year old is NOT getting props for beating an undefeated contender/champ. Un ****ing real.

    This is sad. I almost feel bad for the thread starter. He's really not that bright.

    I would feel the same way if I left out the fact that Hopkins is 48 years old. Hopkins shouldn't be beating anyone at his age.

    So why the **** doesn't he face somebody who can actually box..... Like Andre Ward??

    It's cringe worthy how many of u gullible cats love to suck Hops dick.. Bernard Hopkins is a ****in Con man and he has alot of you fooled. lol

    This dude talking about how he wouldnt fight Ward not even for million of dollars and the reason is?? because they are BFFs?? Since when were they so ****in close like that to a point where no amount of money can make him fight?

    Hopkins is an oppurtunist who cherrypicked those one dimensional, young fighters..

    Cloud was only undefeated on paper.

    If Cloud is the best in the division, then I'm Peter Pan.

    There's truth to what you're saying in that they're tailor made for him. But he is forty-eight and Cloud was the full IBF champ who made several defenses.
    Not Hops fault that in another era Cloud would merely be a journeyman at best.

    True. But at 48, cherrypicking is careful matchmaking, which I can respect. If Hop hadn't beat Cloud officially someone else would've, soon.

    GTFO he's 48 yrs OLD! Beating any champion at 48 is special, even the weakest one.

    The guy has achieved more than 99.9% of current, active boxers. He is 48 years old. He should have retired a long time ago. The fact he can still compete at world level is special. He can be forgiven for picking and choosing his opponents, but then again, has he really been picking and choosing his opponents?

    His last 5 bouts have consisted of the #1, #2(?) and #3 of the division. Twice against the guy you think he dodged and was forced in to. Makes sense.
