By no means am I gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) or do I think B-Hop is a good looking guy, but since he's joined up with GBP he's snazzed himself up in some pretty nice suits and sh*t, and he actually looks orite in suits.
Then when he talks and smiles, out come his famous 2 front teeth with a gap between them the size of Valuev.
My question is surely over the years (especially after the ODH fight) he has ernt enuff $$$ to get those things fixed?!
I think hes actually had alot of work done.If you look at a pic of him around 91-94 ish he was looking as if he had been feeding on bricks and aluminum cans.His grill was a mess...all over the place.His nose I believe as well.
Oh he has definately made some improvements on his looks. I'm glad he's lost that flat-top fade thang he had goin early on on his career.
The nose will always be like that, I fink most boxers can live with bent noses but yeh, his chompers, I really thought he'd fix em.
Thanks for the reply btw dude!!!
He looks alot better now hes filled out, when he fought RJJ he seriously looked like a crack head.
Hopkins front teeth are a bit like unmarked tombstones. Now that he has been fighting only once a year, there is no reason why he couldn't get a little orthodontic work done. I think Winky Wright took a long layoff to get his own teeth fixed up too. There is no reason why Hopkins couldn't, but at the end of the day he probably doesn't give a shit. He's made his money and appearance has probably not been the primary focus in his life. Personally, his teeth don't bother me and it's just a part of who he is.
I think that at some point, it's part of his trademark appearance or something, giving him a bad ass style and probably he's o.k with it and doesn't care much in the end.
Yeh that was the point I was gettin at, I jus thought at 1 fight a yr, he'd probly go out and get em fixed by now, but like what u said, his teeth, his money, he can do what he likes...Quote:

All the reasons y I started this thread, to get all yor opinions, thanks guys!!!
Why fix them when he's still fighting? He can have them fixed later and they'll stay fixed.
Well it is true that he still fights so why fix it now? Theres still an off chance your teeth will get KOd out of your mouth so save the money for later. :-X
And B Hop loves saving money.Quote:

I'm guessing so as we're known as the "shit teeth" country of the world to the U.S lolQuote:

If he does have a bridge why not get it for the front teeth as well. Anyway maybe when he is finally complete his career he will fix his grill up.

Though there have been some improvements, I doubt he longs for the looks of a dark skinned DLH, of smaller version of Wlad.....
His nose had work I know that but it was mainly due to deviated septum and breathing problems....A common operation among fighters...
Speaking of plastic surgery and Valuev....You would think he would at minimum want to try a body wax....
Wouldn't that make sleeping in the cave uncomfortable?Quote:

But boxers get their teeth fixed all the time while active. Look at Floyd's choppers-they're GORGEOUS! He didn't have those until '01-'02, I think.

Christ I honestly think a car wash doesn't have enough wax to care of Valuev's back.
Reminds me of this story I heard years ago. A famous jazz trumpet player (Maynard Furgussin (SP?)) had a huge gap in his teeth and people found it odd that it never bothered him. One guy decided that it was the source of his power, and he had cosmetic surgery to put the gap in between his teeth. Little did he know around the same time, Maynard had his gap closed.
I rock climb too, and prob the most famous climber in the world, Tommy Caldwell has three fingers on one hand from a accident in home construction. ....you guessed it, someone loped off their finger to be like him. The fanboy's claim was that it allowed Tommy to place either hand in different sized constrictions.
Well, B-Hop is not a stunning man or anything, but I suppose he looks good for his age.
Yeah the cover of GQ Hopkins will never be on but shit I wish I had the physical conditioning he was in without question...Quote:

It has been reported on many occasions, that BHOP is very funny about his money. He wont tip and he wont even pay for a parking meter. BHOP is not the only celeb who don't care too much about his grill.
Take Steve Buscemi for example

Or Morgan Freeman
No doubt the people at GB have asked BHOP to stop looking like a scrub, let's not forget he was also doing commentary on VS, so he has to dress nice.
But if I recall correctly, years ago, BHOP's grill was gappier than it is today and so I guess this might be evidence of having some work done. ;D
What really intrigues me is the following character

This dude is related to one rich boy and yet has his teeth like that?
WTF?!
:o
