    Constantly cherry picks, Holds up a Division instead of letting everyone have a crack at one another, Picks fights where he has a 20% of losing etc.

    Anyone else pissed off with his antics?

    How is fighting an undefeated, hard-hitting world champion at 48 years of age "cherry picking"?? He also fought Dawson and Pascal.

    I wish he would retire because impressive as his age is, his fights are not entertaining in the slightest.

    The rolling around on the floor and buying time etc is lame.

    Also, why are they talking about Clev fighting Hopkins?? Why not fight Cloud?? (presuming he wins, which he ****ing well should!)

    Pascal x 2

    Dawson x 2

    Cloud..?

    He's fighting the best in the division.

    I thought he was a deadman coming into the Dawson rematch! I was a harsh critic for him, as anybody would know on this forum before that fight.

    I made a honour never to criticise him again after the Dawson rematch. Even though he lost, his performance shocked him, because i honestly thought he was going to be stopped. I thought and still beleave he faked his injury in the first fight in a calculated move, he saw something within Chad Dawson that night plus..? It was his way of getting two pay days, he is a clever witty man from the streets.

    Chad Dawson has done nothing but get abused since he fought Hopkins, he looked stressed and confused during the rematch! and i honestly think Bernard Hopkins has ended his career.

    I think Bernard Hopkins stopped Trout, and i think this old Bernard Hopkins would also beat Carl Froch.

    If Froch gets past Kessler, i want him to try and do what Calzaghe did and move up to 175 and take on Hopkins.

    I think Trout should concentrate on Canelo personally ;)

    Hopkins has been pissing me off for years but not for the reasons described in the opening post.

    I really hope Cloud wins by brutal KO

    Hopkins is a boxing legend. He's a throwback fighter in many ways and one thing you can't criticize him for is his record, which is pretty incredible in the modern day era.
