    Soapie likes to hit it from the back, that's why. He used to receive in the Pen, but now that he's out, he likes to be the one working the rear end.

    good lord, you're not the sharpest cat around are you? He's a promoter for golden boy. Promoters are always trying to get in photos, to help promote a fight that they put on.

    :patsch

    I know riht. Funniest parts is he said if they "got it on over 5 rounds or somethin" - I wouldn't give Margarito more than 30 seconds.

    i dont think you should put him off like he's a bum...margarito could really give bhop problems in the later rounds...or maybe before that

    Yep. Why would they even fight a five round fight to begin with? Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

    Based on what? Margarito couldn't even get himself into the 154lbs division, betting on him against Hopkins far above that would be foolish.

    No kidding. Bhop would land 1 counter and Margarito would be floored the same was Joe C was. Only difference is, Margarito wouldn't be getting up.

    Hopkins is way bigger then Margo. Size matters in boxing for the most part.

    Lets put Jermain Taylor in with Klitschko. Saying Taylor loses isnt calling him a bum, its just stating facts.

    Hopkins is standing there because he is a partner of GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS. He has to represent his company. You see the same thing with Shane or Oscar when ever a big is promoted by them. Remember how you saw Don King between his fighters back in the day it's the same thing. Hop will be in the ring also after the fight. The are Promoters as well as Champion Boxers.:bbb
