    Burning the Puerto Rico flag at a press conference kind of has that effect on some people.

    Hopkins was never the man, he was an awkward, tough to beat fighter. Got schooled off Jones first time round and was never exciting to watch, hence his gimmicks like the executioner and the mask. He started doing that to try and earn paydays as he wasnt a big draw or making a lot of money at that time.

    I dont really find him that interesting to watch, to listen to yes, fight- no

    Well that gimmick is what helped his career and those antics. I must say Hopkin's was a true heel/villain.
