    I don't know what the picture is referring to but I do know that to spend six years in the garage,then turn your back on crime(very few options available when you have years you can't account for on your C.V) and then go on to become one of the most successful boxers of all time takes an ocean of heart.
    Walk a mile in his shoes then question his heart.I'm confident you would only have to go through the first thing I mentioned before you changed your mind.

    I'd remove that and put "throwback" in it's place.
    I understand why some people dislike him and I concede,if he had a different backstory I maybe wouldn't defend him the way I do.;)

    I won't argue with your opinion about Hopkins because you are perfectly entitled to it.However the beginning of your post is far too much of a sweeping generalisation and I suspect I know a bit more about it than you do.However that is nothing to shout about and I'm not looking for an argument but I'd just ask that you at least consider that it's not as black and white as you think.

    How can anyone really question the heart of a fighter thats 46 and still hanging with the best of them. His heart is his dedication to wake up in the morning and retain the hunger to fight and become even greater than he is.
    Most 46 year olds former fighters are fat

    Very narrowminded view of the world. People make mistakes.

    believe it or not, he got fouled in all of those fights. he wanted a break? no ****. most boxers do if they get slammed and low-blowed. the fact that he fought half the fighters he did proves he has heart. the fact that he took advantage of them is his own call. he whooped echols, he whooped allen, he beat a shot to **** jones. he bitched out against dawson but he at least fought him, pascal, tarver, pavlik, and will fight bute. last time i checked, your ***** boy calzaghe ducked all of them. but i guess he has a hard time getting aroud when he can't get his dick out of your mouth.
