Why is it so hard to believe...Hopkins is a true student of the game and knows a true champion...Joe may have had some jerks handling his career and talking garbage all the time but Joe himself was nothing more then a true professinal and to my knowledge a gentleman.....He was a good champion and gave what ever he had in the ring...

Nothing about him not too respect...

His Father and Warren on the other hand....

But that is a different thread all together
