I hate Hopkins

[Cortez The Killer]

What an ignorant man. He is living proof that age doesn't always lead to wisdom.

He has got skills in the ring but aside from that comes across as a greedy, selfish, delusional ass fuck how doesn't have to balls to do anything but sit back and counter, lead with his head, tie up, and throw dirty punches.

He has no class in or out of the ring. I was pissed at him for all the crap he talked about Taylor and never acknowledging that Taylor beat him. He did the same thing to Calzaghe tonight. He is dirty as hell and even showed a new trick tonight, his acting skills. What a cunt.

Agree with ya cortez, this fight to me wasn't even that close, like taylor fight is a fight where i saw b hop win the first one maybe cause he was the champ, this one in my mind I just can't see b hop taking it. Plus I would have loved to see a replay of the 2nd "lowblow" the one where cal had hop in the corner and seemed to land a dam nice bodyshot and hop was trying to act the hurt due to a lowblow.

[Cortez The Killer]

Unless Hopkin's balls are located on his waist even the first "lowblow" was crap. Calzaghe's head was being pushed down, he had bad position on the punch, it was a weak punch, it hit hopkins glove, and then made accidental contact with hopkins guard with about the force of an insect behind it.

Whether Hopkins is stomping on the Puerto Rican flag (Trinidad), spewing ignorant trash out of his mouth, not tipping at restaurants, or showing no acknowledgment or respect to his opponents before, during, or after his fights...im pretty sure there is nothing inside his head other than muscle memory and greed.

I don't hate him.

I dislike him as a fighter, his style sucks now.
Just like Winky's.

[GodofBoxing]

Boxers that take 5 min for a non-existent low blow piss me off quite a bit...add to that the comments after the fight and the annoying punch and lead with head boxing style...the guy isn't very likable

No comparision to Winky's style, Winky punches in numbers and doesn't throw one shot at a time. Hopkins shouldn't have even beat Winky, dirty fighter.

Hopkins and Calzaghe are my two least favorite champs in boxing. Calzaghe is cocky as hell and looks terrible with his slappy punches. He wins but he doesn't look good while winning. He's an annoying fighter.

Hopkins though is dirty and does not care about ANYTHING other then winning. I don't have a problem with that and I've lightened up on Nard the further away the Winky fight gets but he is a dirty dirty dirty fighter, overly dirty.

I don't hate Hopkins.

What do you expect from a 43 year old guy?

I actually expected him to fight that way. I knew he would apply some rough and dishonest tactics.

NOW?!?!?!?! His style hasn't changed! He has always headbutted and he has always low blowed and he has always fought in a quasi-dirty style and done better than most fighters out there.

You have to respect what he does in the ring

Agreed!!

[Master]

He may not be my favourite boxer to watch but Hopkins is a legend he gave Galzaghe hell and made him look clumsy, how many people have done that to him, not a peak Kessler or dangerous Lacy but an experienced 43 year old fighter way past his best. Name another fighter that could do that?

[CFH]

He comes across as a complete asshole and he is never gracious in defeat, but boxing isn't a personality contest and he is/was a great fighter.

[Master]

Many great fighters are bad loosers, JCC superstar was a prime example, still love him though.

Pretty good summation you ask me .

[Taeth]

This was nothing like Jermain Taylor fights, but I both agree and disagree. First of all this fight could have been won by either man, but Hopkins made Calzaghe look more amateurish than vice virsa... From what i saw it was more Hopkins not being young enough to throw back that made this fight close, and I think he knew that Calzaghe wasn't in his league, but his body couldn't keep up with the pace. Hopkins clearly showed imo that expect for the fact he was 43 that he was the superior fighter, and even at 43 that he was at least even to Calzaghe in effectiveness. However he should respect Calzaghe who is a really good maybe even great fighter, and stop crying. Same with Glen Johnson, he wasn't robbed against Dawson, its just the judges were out to lunch, and I think 116-111 against Hopkins was ridiculous.
