Hopkins Proves Me Right Again......

[Gandalf]

No, Hopkins is disgusting. You are right.

The guy cannot beat any opponent fairly. Jones beat Hopkins again as as I am concerned. Hopkins looked like an idiot because he is an idiot.

[Pugilistic]

I know Hopkins put on a bad showing. He fought dirty and totally over reacted to Jones illegal blows.

Hopkins isn't all to blame for the fight being so bad though.

Jones was scared to engage and barely threw any punches especially compared to Hopkins who doesn't throw alot anyway, and he fought dirty himself.

Both guys clinched alot but what did anyone expect ? both guys are 40+ years old.

Regarding your comments on Hopkins best performances only being over "smaller" men you must not of seen his fights against Glen Johnson, Antonio Tarver, etc.

Lets just ignore the fact that two of those fighters (Tito, Pavlik) that were so "small" were heavily favored to beat him and were supposed to knock him out.

The De La Hoya fight was at a catchweight of 156 for Hopkins 160 pound title but Hopkins was willing to drop down an extra 4 pounds where De La Hoya only had to go up 2 pounds being that he was a natural Junior Middleweight at that point.

here is the thing, Hopkins doing all that 'fake injury' stuff is a ploy.

Its a ploy to buy himself time so that he doesn't run out of gas. If a ref told him to get up and stop faking he's run out of stamina.

I get what you say about Jones not engaging but if look at how hopkins leads with his head, it makes it impossible to get a punch off that way without getting hit with a forehead and getting busted up or even ko'ed.

He did the same thing with Calzaghe and that's the only reason he didn't get stopped in that fight. Not to mention the acting that bought him time to regain energy.

I can't take another hopkins excuse. Really I can't. When you have a guy that just about every time he fights, his fans have to make excuses, somethings wrong.

By the way,the fight with Tarver was the same crap. They all look the same bro. Don't be fooled by the commentary man.

exactlly, hopkins is a win at all costs type fighter,the ends justify the means and all that, it is an ugly way to fight but again its up the ref to step in and warn him

after all it is a fight.. in an ideal world everyone would fight to the reuls and not try anything underhand but its not the way it is
