Re: Lost All Respect For Hopkins
Hopkins is one the cutest boxers I have ever seen. I respect his talent, but his antics on Saturday night were just bullshit. From a Philly native, and a guy with that much talent, I was disgusted at his behaviour. He did exactly the same thing with Calzaghe. I dont even mind his dirty tactics at times, mainly because he is so so so clever with it, you cant help but somehow admire it.
But he is like a bully that crys when he gets a taste of his own medicine, and served up in lesser portions. He instigated every single foul initially, then cried like a little faggot when he got touched. He was trying to steal points with his acting, even though he was winning. Holding the back of his head at the end of the fight and his trip to the hospital afterwards was pure bullshit and a show for me.
He is an all-time great, that very rarely fights to his full potential. His actions made me sick. Jones was the moral victor, even though his gun-shy appproach wasnt enough, and was never going to be enough to win the fight.
I just dont get Hopkins, I really dont. He made me fukking sick to be honest. He should be ashamed of himself.
Some people say boxing is a matter of life or death, it's not, it's far more important than that.
