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.
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.
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.
