Hopkins: "I always ran to the fire" *fakes an injury when things get hard*

Hopkins will get his ass beat by anther white man:deal

 

and that gets you off, eh?

 

Hopkins can read & write & talk legibly I know a boxer that cannot. Bernard is a happily married man with a great family.
You should listen closely to Bernard you might learn something

 

Sums up what i feel with regards to Hopkins.He's a dirty fighter ,everyone needs to admit this.If this is craft then it's crap.
What puzzles me is why referees are not vigilant enough.They know Hopkins has a history of cheap tricks but they give him a pass just because he's old?Unfair.

 

Things that can be gotten away with for an entire fight due to one reason or another are things I don't like. Like loaded gloves, border line rule breaking, bending of rules etc. The first can be gotten with because it can't be seen, the others are typically not called because the ref does not feel there is enough to call or because it's not blatant and the fouler is popular. I have more respect for a person who fouls blatantly and openly because they know they are taking a chance at dq, and feel the foul could get them out of trouble or break a losing rhythm, it has a purpose born from necessity. All that concealment crap seem to consistently come from low life pos people/boxers.

 

Fair comment.

 

No white man ever kicked Hopkins ass That welsh slapper Calzaghe sure as hell didn't. No one can honestly say they kicked Hopkins ass. No One Two got a legitmate dec win over him but neither kicked his ass

 

:good

 

This is typical of whiners and losers saying uuhh I won't do that I won't do this I'll rather lose than resort to that tactics. Guess what boxers will do anything to win if they knew WHAT to do and HOW to do it they would be doing it as well. Only problem is it's not as easy as all that, if it was we would have seen many fighters doing it.

Also there's ways to combat that **** just sitting there and playing the victim looking with tears in your eyes at the ref to save you is not a true fighters attitude.

DEAL WITH IT.

 

Hopkins tries to be all dramatic in these rants but has zero charisma so just comes across as irritating.

 

In Hopkins case, he does'nt always show up to fight, in fact he quits when things are'nt going quite as he expected.

 

lol nice interview lol, was he talking about fmj and cotto?
as for fighting haye, well anyone can say that but would hopkins realy step in the ring with a heavy albeit a small one??????????? i think not

 

Hopkins has had a great career, and is showing big time b@lls for taking the match. Most older fighters would never risk a match with a much younger champion in his prime who can hit.

And then it hit me. Hopkins thinks like the 1990's American heavies used to think when it came to Eastern European fighters, and thought the same of Calzaghe.

You could say he's taking this fight for " other " reasons, and the result for him will be hard to live with once Kovalev finishes him off.

 

Hopkins feeds off other's people exploits in the ring, attempting to capture the same attention and fame.

But once inside the square ropes, he treats boxing as a hooker would treat his client.
