    Of course he wanted a way out. I mean, look what Ortiz was doing to him. Who wouldn't want a way out from that?, I wanted a way out even though I was only watching.

    Dickhead.

    A torn shoulder looks like a shark fin? Explain.

    :lol:

    I know, I don't really pay attention to that though. It's like you call in sick for work when you aren't sick. You do it all the time, but then you actually get sick and your boss doesn't believe you...and you get sacked. It's very similar to this. I know Hopkins has faked/overplayed injuries in the past. But the injury against Dawson looked very much legitimate.

    I get what you mean about the shark fin now anyway. I know a little about the shoulder, and the injuries you can suffer. This must have been what you meant, but there is also 3 different types of shoulder separation...Type III the one I assume you are referring to...

    If you look how Hopkins falls with an outstretched arm, sudden impact, stiff shoulder. The injury can very much be legit...and I believe him :conf

    If mayweather was looking for a way out he would have pretended to be knocked out by the head butt.

    lol...he faked it...remember...he ducked chad for 3 years, did not want to fight him...in those first few rounds, just by how Chad was moving all smoothly, sharply like Floyd...Hopkins new he didnt want to be there...he threw his fastest right hand, and all he hit was a dawson hollagram...lol...only reason he giving him the rematch is because he knows he went out like a beyotch and he's a true champion, he cant go out lie that rolling around pretending to be hurt so I give Hop props

    I agree, he avoided Dawson, but Dawson did even less than Ortiz in that bout to convince Hopkins to "fake his way out".

    Anyway, I'm going to get pissed :deal

    This ^^^.

    Some idiots on here seem to equate Ortiz throwing wildly and landing very little with Mayweather not being in control.

    Dawson didnt get a chance to open up, but Hopkins could tell just by his movement, sharpness, and ability to avoid Hopkins fastest right hand, that it was gonna be a long night...he new and I knew..to me, it was like the beginning of Chad's fight with Mendoza..lol [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mBWxYlZasI[/ame]

    Floyd's been in way worse than another fighter backing him up a bit and throwing a bunch of missing punches. That's what happens in Mayweather fights. A fighter gets a spurt going, the crowd goes crazy, HBO commentators yell as if the opponent is "ripping him up against the ropes", meanwhile nothing is landing, then Floyd eventually regains control and restarts his patient counter punching.

    Hopkins' injury was proven to be legitimate by the doctor, Floyd clearly had a busted bottom lip from the headbutts. Tell me what clean punch landed to cause that bust?

    Did Floyd "pull a Hopkins?" Well, he showed superb ring IQ, something Hopkins is oft given credit for and associated with, so yeah I'd say he pulled a Hopkins.

    Look at his demeanor immediately after the fight, not upset at all... he seemed relieved to me.
    Dude just buckled and lost it.
