    you don't find his remarks about Chad Dawson's ladyfriend insightful? And the vague connection to a sparring session with Andre Dirrell?

    True Oscar was fading and Hopkins was taking over,the fight wasn't really close.But as we've seen with Pacquiao/Marquez people score fights on different things,maybe he thought Oscar was winning.His opinion about Oscar taking a dive has been shared by many.
    I get you obviously dont like the man but is this as stupid an opinion as Roach saying Floyd wouldn't get past the second round with Manny?

    DLH's frustration in the post-fight interview for getting stopped when he was proving to be competitive was, in my opinion, genuine.

    Sr. has gained the distinctive honor of being wrong twice in one sentence. DLH neither took a dive nor was he ahead on the scorecards.

    I was never sold on the theory he took a dive - not in the slightest.
