B-Hop is pure scum. Listen to what he has to say in this interview about how he wanted to destroy Pavlik in and out of the ring and boasting about accomplishing both. And his motives for wanting to do so are obvious. The ugly sociopathic **** even thinks god is on his side fighting the righteous fight to help him achieve such things. atsch 4:15 mark [YT]g6SmCNoQrCM[/YT]
hopkins fake smile is creepy aswell, he aint a happy man. hes a strange dark man, sociopath maybe. i think ur right serge.
He's a horrible piece of ****. Over the years I've heard numerous people involved in the sport say the same. Just the other week I heard the host of a boxing radio show say people would be really shocked if they knew some of the things he knew about him. He said someone involved in the game told him something really scummy B-Hop did and actually showed him irrefutable proof that he'd done it to back it up. And I know for a fact this this radio show host used to be a massive fan of B-Hop's back in the day because we used to go at it about him on forums.
Hopkins has my respect for being able to compete and still win championships even in this weak era of LHW at his advanced age. Will he punk out and resort to Bernard tactics. I expect it.
He didn't reveal what he'd did - he said he was told in confidence and couldn't - but you could tell he wasn't bullshitting. Again, this guy used to be a HUGE B-Hop nuthugger. I'd like to know what it was myself. But like I said, I've heard numerous other sources over the years echo that sentiment. You don't have to have a degree in psychology to see through B-Hop's ****. The guy is clearly a vile piece of ****. What he said about Pavlik only confirms that further.
I appreciate the kind words, Rummy, thanks. :good Maybe I am being too sensitive, but the way it came off just rubbed me the wrong way. I'm still taking a "may the best man win" approach and will be more than happy to give the old dog his due should he legitimately win, but I'm still hoping Kovalev does the trick. No games or shenanigans either way. Best of luck to you and the Hopkins camp. :thumbsup
