It was bull****. He's still acting. In that same article they said he refused to be moved out on a stretched and went to the ambulance on his own accord aka trying to play some card like he's some tough guy even though hurt. Hopkins is a disgrace and if he was so hurt, he needs to retire. Haye will put him on a stretcher.
Wow B-hop. Question: How is it that he dominated Pavlik so hard and put on an amazing fight, yet his bout with glass-jaw-jones so awful?
It serves him right.... He started the dirty antics, and hit Roy behind the ears a few times as well.
Well, basic reasons imo are that Hopkins was 43 when he fought Kelly, he's 45 now, plus styles make fights. Secondly, Pavlik was not 100% on that night and it was only the third time he fought at 168 coming from 160. Plus, I think Roy will always have a mental edge over Hopkins, making Hop fight more cautiously, even though he fought vs a shell of Jones in there.
Think about it .. the dude is 45..lol Nobody else that old is in the game..lol let alone boxing. He is just an old fart that needs to hang them up. Age catches up to everyone.
