    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.
    I cant stand watching Hopkins sometimes, but i have to admire the guys
    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.
