    I agree with you. I can't say that there were that many people that Hopkins didn't want to get in the ring with.

    The Hopkins from 93-01 was younger you dumb ****. He said, "He just found a way to get it done despite being past prime"!:rofl

    I agree. I mean he still had some great performances after 03' but he clearly was slowly slipping some each year. Somehow Calzaghe and Kovalev fans think their guys fought a prime and dangerous Hopkins! :lol: At least the one Calslappy fought was ONLY 42....The Bernard that fought Trinidad dismantles Taylor as well...:rasta...People sometimes forget Bernard was already 35 when he fought Trinidad....His ring intelligence allowed him to fight so well for so long...

    I figured you'd resort to that and only that. You ret@rds are more predictable than your desperate d*cks.

    What's this special reason as to why he didn't want to fight Dawson?

    Same reason he said he didn't want to fight Ward I suppose. Bad style matchup for him.

    To be fair, has Hopkins ever looked great against fast 2 handed fighters his own size?

    You can't say that there were any mofo, lmfao. No matter how many articles or interviews that you've read, even if the fighter himself says that he didn't want to fight them and fights them isn't anything that you can use as evidence clown, lmao. You have some goddamn nerve talking about who Hopkins did or didn't want to fight when you have no clue.:rofl

    Damn, a Hopkins stan. Look dude, sit down and take a deep breath. Everyone isn't in love with Hopkins like you obviously are. Accept it.

    Duran quit the first time he lost to Leonard, had he hung in there he would have gone the distance, it's not like Leonard was going for the kill in the 2nd fight, he was looking to win a decision.

    As for why Jones Jr went the distance in the 3rd fight, he was simply more cautious 3rd time around and Tarver is notoriously inconsistent, something you can't really accuse Hopkins of.

    Hopkins stan? In love with Hopkins??? Man stfu and talk boxing, lmao. Fans here understand what it took for Hop to get here and respect him. Your criticisms are fake as hell and we all see through it, and youre getting called on it and accusing people of being stans and in love with Hop. ****erotic thinking, lmao.

    Hopkins also said he hurt his shoulder in the first Dawson fight' lol I guess you believe that bs also. You are right, I tend not to believe Hopkins because I have seen his acting jobs in the ring. You can believe what you want just like I can.
