    As Roy Jones accurately said, he's a bottom feeder.

    No guys, it's much more plausible that a world class athlete was shoved out of the ring by an 80 year old man.

    Hopkins is a hustler.

    1. Blame the ref, fight declared NC, Hopkins goes to the bank in a happy mood.

    2. Come back next fight, use the experience he got from the first encounter to own Allen.

    3. Hopkins goes back to the bank in a happier mood.

    Dawson repeat from step 1.

    It's possible. Hopkins is my boy but this one is funny as hell looking back because to me it looked like he faked this one more than the Dawson fight.

    Which fight was it where he got bodyslammed pretty much in the exact same way as Dawson did it but this time he got up and Ko'd his opponent. was it Allen 2, my mind has gone completely blank

    Hopkins showed tremedous footwork in their first Echols fight. He looked like Ali with his footwork.

    Yep, which is why i said it was a business decision. Hopkins got paid for 4 rounds of work against Allen. He got paid 2 rounds against Dawson. It isn't about being scared. It's about getting an easy payday, plus he's guaranteed another payday because there's a rematch after he does that ****. Basically, if you give him the opportunity like that where he can get a way out, he has no problem getting paid for a round of work. It's not like it blemishes his record. He plays the systlem. Everyone likes to get paid doing the least amount of work as possible.

    Bingo, you just solved it. He knows how currupt the system is, so he uses their rules and also uses their rules against them. He's smart because in life you gotta know the rules because if you don't, your gonna be nothing but a puppet.
