I find it really strange that he would say this against GBP... Was he definitely insisting it was GBP who was holding him back and not the entity of boxing in general?

I just find it strange because every big GBP event, they make sure to the absolute extreme, that Hopkins' face is in every single shot. He's right there almost standing on the scales with fighters at weighins.. He stands RIGHT in between fighters in their face off shots. In EVERY interview he nearly has his nose touching the microphone while someone ELSE is getting interviewed.. In the corner before fights he pretty much rests his chin on the fighters shoulder so his face is just as prominent..

Either he insists on doing this himself so that his face is as prominent in every single shot as possible (lame), OR GBP ensures his face is absolutely everywhere important at their events... It would seem odd that promote him in this way, yet are holding him back from the fights he wants... Oscar is a smart man, If they didn't care about Hopkins then they would make sure they have some other young hot fighter in every shot, getting their face known to help with the next big payday/cashcow...

That's just Hopkins way I think.. All that he has done, he'll probably still be in the nursing home in a wheel chair telling his grandkids and everyone in ear shot how the world f'cked him over and he could have been bigger than Tyson or Ali if it wasn't for this or that...... He's had a majorly good run with everyone, including referee's, and he's getting close to the age of retirement.. And after all he's done and all that he clearly gets from GBP, he's still complaining...

I can think of at least 10 fighters right now off the top of my head who would have more to complain about regarding not getting the fights they deserve, but they aren't saying sh!t.. And havn't gotten a quarter of the opportunities Hopkins has had in his career.
