    I suspect you may be a serial killer.

    He was talking about here.

    Big deal people know him in his hometown. He can walk down the street in Los Angeles and he won't get attention, guaranteed, until a few boxing fans notice him and create a scene, and that probably would take hours of walking.

    Only Time Hopkins Cant Walk Down The Street. Without Getting Mobbed Is When He's With Dela Hoya.
    Otherwise He Might Not Even Get Noticed.

    That would involve leaving his big, plastic country

    The guy who said that is Steve Bunce and he's full of ****, the bane of British boxing fans. He'll say whatever he's paid to say.

    No doubt though that if Calzaghe was presently preparing to fight Dawson and went on to beat him, then pretty much straight after the fight Dawson would suddenly become another overblown fighter a la Lacy who he fought to avoid a true legend like BHop!

    He's known by some in philly although I bet if he walked in center city, he would not be recognized as anything but a potential mugger.

    Like i said before, my girlfriend knows him as "that fighter you like with 4 teeth".

    I think the full quote was "Hopkins can't walk down the street, because he is scared of getting beaten up by some white boy"

    You must not have heard the last bit.

    He means Hopkins can't walk down the street without getting booed

    (though let's not forget he's a saint for beating tarver)
