It is the truth. Hopkins is a horrible fighter to watch and let's face it all of his wins since the losses to Taylor have their question marks (except for Tarver though it can be argued that Tarver was old and showed it in Jones/Tarver 3). What do we have, Winky Wright at LHW? That deserves no credit. Pavlik fighting at LHW? Same thing. Ornelas who? And then the joke fight with Jones? Lame. Hopkins doesn't have many skills and wins by trying to outhustle and butt his opponents into submission. He tried the same with Calzaghe who thankfully kept his cool and worked out the win.

Hopkins deserves so many points to be deducted from his tally in fights and yet refs turn a blind eye. There is being a crafty veteran and their is being a dirty cheat. For me James Toney is bang on the money about Hopkins. Well said.
