This really isn't a big deal imo. I am suprised Hopkins was picked by GBP because he really lacks charm or public speaking presence

This is the same guy who never left a tip at a restaurant until he had over a million dollars. The man who threw the PR national flag on the ground , disrespecting the whole country before fighting Tito. The man who makes a sworn promise to his mother that he would not fight after 40. His words are as good as the next dollar sign he sees.

Merchant "Watching bernard hopkins fight is like watching ice melt"

Hopkins is just an ignorant old man and a dirty, boring fighter. And that was before the Calzaghe thing.
