At the request of Musze, this is a formal invitation to all to the I NEVER WANT TO SEE BERNARD HOPKINS FIGHT ANYONE EVER AGAIN bandwagon. What the fuck is the point in this prick being anywhere fucking near boxing anymore? The dude has literally stunk out boxing for the last eight years or so with his unique 'ball-shot/headbutt/clinch combination but has recently added to his arsenal ridiculous racism in an attempt to promote fights ('I'll never lose to a white boy...:notallthere:), trying to get opponents DQ-ed when they have the temerity to even CLOSELY mirror his famed 'nut-punch' (Calzaghe again) and contributing to the shameful spectacle that was the 'long-awaited' :tick: rematch with a completely shot-to-shit RJJ. Now there is the deeply horrific possibility that he might somehow wend his way back into title contention at 175, after YEARS of not fighting Chad Dawson, by fighting the guy who did the job he never even bothered his ass to do. I solemnly swear to all and sundry here that I will NEVER watch him fight again. I don't think my eyes could take it. And I reccomend that you all do likewise. Who's with me? MTF artie:
Sooner or later he has to get old and beaten to a pulp. For this i will watch. Pascal is young enough and has a good enough offence to make it happen.
I'm on. But not for some of the reasons you've given. I don't want to see a GREAT fighter continue until he's beaten to a pulp by someone who couldn't even have carried his jockstrap in his prime.
I'm in! Not only did he try to get Sloppy DQ'd, but also RJJ. In there with a shot as hell RJJ, he felt the need to pretend to be hurt in the hopes RJJ would be either deducted points or disqualified. What I don't understand is the support Hopkins gets for cheating the way he does. Because he gets away with it, it's okay that he throws low-blows? Or that he holds every minute of every round? The guy's a hack.
except when he fights alcoholic ohioans, then he doesnt even need to do any of that shit to score shutouts
