    I've seen a few times now people who truly believe Hops was hurt by the punches to the back of the head by RJJ. How many people believe this??? So i know to put you on my ignore list.

    No I don't sir. B-Hop needs to retire from boxing and decide if he wants to continue on in the WWE or not. Plain and simple.

    I made a thread about how disappointed I am in Hopkins. He's one of my favourite all-time fighters, but what he did in that fight was disgraceful. Absolutely and utterly disgraceful.

    I don't buy it. I think Hopkins, who I am a big fan of, thinks it looks better to "comeback" from such an injury and fight on, then to just brush it off for what it was, a light shot to the back of the head.

    I think he never would have did it if he knew how bad he looked. Father time may be near.

    Put me on your ignore list please but don't dare to say I am a liar. Bernard went for it in the sixth and Roy spinned out of the way to land a deliberate rabbit punch with some leverage on the move and we know Roy can load up in short moves. The second one was also flagrant even tho nard hit him first there. I expect you to taste that yourself in the ring, expert.

    Of course he wasn't. I used to be a big Hopkins fan until the Jones fight.

    I'm a bit worried that boxing is turning into football. Boxers seem to be complaining about everything. Hopkins against Jones. Abraham keeps moaning about low blows every time he gets hit to the body and Berto was just terrible at the weekend complaining about being hit on the back of the head every time he got hit on the side of the head.

    He was winded as hell. He's too old to go 12 rounds anymore. He saw the opportunity to take a breather, and he took it.

    I do not think so. I do believe Dirrell really went down, but Hopkins faked it. I even think the Dirrell fight might have influenced Hopkins a little, not that he wouldn't have done that anyway, but it just reinforced the idea.
