Because he is a ****ing ball bag. Nah just kidding, he's said some shitty things and has done some shitty things, but i forgive him, i think its all for hype and legacy. Seems like an intelligent and decent guy really.
I do like the guy . . . but just like Castillo, De La hoya and Casamayor . . . . he should retire. :deal
he finally became condident in himself late in age. all the scare things/executioner style was to scare his opponents (didn't workout well with robert allen 1, and it showed). you try to scare when you unsure. when you sure you mostly don't care. this all good. i like bernard late, when he got older.
Did anyone see the inteview with him... Hopkins talking about Bert Cooper instead of Henry Cooper in the Ali fight? And then at the end he's like "WELL HE'S GON LOOK LIKE BERT COOPER" Best Hopkins moment ever. And I started crying when he said that, he's hilarious and he's absolutely brilliant. I agree, I don't know how you could dislike him.
