Seriously. Anyone with any sense would need only listen to him for like 30 seconds to come to the realization that Chad is a complete ****ing moron. Bernard doesn't need to argue with a fool who hasn't accomplished and will never accomplish anywhere near what he has and who never has anything even remotely intelligent or witty to say... With his gay ass lisp. He also doesn't need to do anything extra to help bring in more HBO viewers. This fight isn't on PPV, so he gets paid the same no matter how many people tune in, and HBO doesn't give a **** about ratings either. They're only concerned with how many subscribers they have.
I agree. Hopkins gave one solid interview they had over at the scene at the press conference, and that was it. He said "I've already talked for 20 years, what more is there to say?" I think he's just waiting for the silence to fill up with talks of fear, of accusations, of old age, while he's just focused 100 % on putting down the young dog who has offended and disrespected him. All the while, Chad is getting more frustrated, anxious, pissed off, eager to prove himself...he's very mad at Bernard. Every time he gets a chance, while he gives BHop's career respect, he's insulting him as a person. I think he's going to burn nervous energy, get reckless, and eventually start getting turned, countered, and hustled on the outside and inside.
Why do ****ing idiots keep repeating this nonsense? An MRI confirmed that he dislocated his shoulder. Are you suggesting that he dislocated his shoulder after the fight or that the doctor who did the MRI lied on his discharge letter?
I picked Hopkins to school Pavlik on here......but just like the first Dawson fight I predict Chad to win wide. Always bena bad style match up for B-Hop which is why we didn't see it when Dawson was top dog a 175 for all those years clamouring for a B-Hop fight but getting no response from Hopkins.
Well there gonna fight this week and we'll find out if what your saying is true. I doubt it though. I see this looking the winky wright fight, same fight and same outcome.(from a techinical standpoint)
Yup ..Like I said before there is a reason why he avoided Chad ..But he will get much respect if he pulls it out ..Though I don't think he will ..
Yup... my ass with all due respect Imperial... Like you said, like... WTF, sometimes you make sense when you are tuned up for a fight, sometimes you seem to be nothing but another Hopkins hater... But we know you did hate his envy and permanent copycat attempt of your RJJ... Whatever, I respect Roy, why wouldn't I respect Roy or Winky or Dawson? Chad is nothing special, some months ago he was a sure loser against Hopkins, what changed now??? New trainer, that unfortunate happening at the end of their second round, more hype than substance?... Nard didn't fight Chad for all those years Chad says he was looking for him cause Chad was nobody b'sides having won a LHWT belt from Adamek and there was no money involved, still money is something we gat cause it's on HBO and non PPV... Max Kellerman was the guy who mentioned the young, athletic Chad when the Broadcast Hopkins-Wright was on and go check if you think I am making it up. The man to beat back then was Joe Calzaghe and also Joe was after Hopkins since Hopkins unified the MW Championship and check that as well in the Morrade Hakkar post-fight comment by Jim Lampley. Damn!
I haven't even seen any media material of his training camp. I think he wants to clear all distractions and focus entirely on this fight. He feels he needs to redeem himself
Couldn't of said it any better.:good And Chad even now doesn't have the pedigree that Calzaghe had at the time. Oh and BTW, Calzaghe i believe would of beatin Dawson too.
Well that's only being smart Leon. Could you blame him with all this non-sense and talk that's been going on about him trying to quit and how scared he is of big bad chad dawson. A very focused Hopkins at his very best(even at this age) is a force to be reckoned with.
