Better than watching Hopkins, for sure.Quote:

It's sad that all my favourite fighters are old, well there's still Rigondeaux and here's hoping he's the next coming of Sweet Pete.
You make him out to be entertaining, Hopkins you must have a blindfold on or you follow him on the radio, Sorry but he put the S into shit.Quote:

Dia bando, I understand that Hopkins doesn't appeal to you and that you're not a fan.
But he is not a "shit" fighter.
He is one of the best of our generation.
His appeal to me, is not unlike, a snot sandwich. I don't like them.Quote:

I know he's old and all, but part of me just wants to see Old Man Hopkins thrashed by a powerful young fighter. I just don't like the guy, never have, never will. I respect his skill but he's a horrible fighter to watch, and he's so full of himself I just dislike him.
His style is not so much different from the way your precious Wladimir fights ;DQuote:

Both hold a lot of the time. Both look for one or two shots at a time. Both are less than thrilling to watch, but effective. And don't tell me Wlad isn't dirty, much like Ali he constantly rides his opponent in the clinch and gets away with incessant holding.Quote:

You don't like B-hop, I don't like Wlad, and fact is they both bore most boxing fans.
i like them!Quote:

Speaking from experience here, are we?Quote:

I don't believe Hopkins and I could ever have a conversation, but I really respect him as a fighter.
