    I hate to say goodbye to a living legend but he should make a graceful exit even though there's seldom anything graceful about B-Hop. I love his style and his ring intellegince can really be appreciated if you watch the fight again and again until it dawns on you all the subtle things he did earlier in the fight to tighten the noose over his opponents neck.

    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.

    Hopkins v Cleverly anyone?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    ring skills, he is old school.But it is time to hang the gloves up.

    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
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    Hopkins fights nothing like Wlad. BHop is a dirty fighter that's constantly fouling his opponents. Wlad is more smooth.

    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.

    Hopkins is more athletic and smooth if you will, Wlad is more robotic. Wlad has certainly gotten more stoppages in recent years though, even if they have been against less than stellar opponents. Best available I know I know.

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

    Speaking from experience here, are we?

    There's nothing wrong with disliking
    a boxer. But because we don't like a fighter, it doesn't make them any better or worse a fighter.

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