The story about him and the young men with cancer who lived just long enough to watch Hopkins-Pavlik was very touching. Hopkins is a good guy. His showmanship sometimes gets twisted and misinterpretted, but that's what helps sell the image. Don't let that image deceive you. He is a great guy outside the ring by all accounts.
Well, I suspect we'll see a lot of **** talking between these two in the coming weeks/months, and if they do fight, that will make it all the more interesting. It's called build-up. :good
