If you call that a black eye. I wonder what you call Pacman refusing a simple drug test? A snapped neck

Thank you, Bernard Hopkins. You put another black eye on the sport we love.

He was horrible last night and Ive been critical of Bernard recently as well but lets not forget the things he DID do for boxing. He defended the middleweight title 20 times, won the light heavyweight titles and has pulled off numerous upsets. The man is 45 years old people, cut him some slack.

haha hopkins should start playing soccer after he retires...what a diver!! RJJ got hit with an INTENTIONAL low blow and roy didnt go down...even the announcers say it was intentional. Hopkins should of beaten an old RJJ but didnt expect him to dtake dives and win like that. I cant stand him even more now...

Well Hopkins is effective and a good fighter but his style is such an eyesore to watch.
It wouldn't have mattered if he was undefeated with that style up until this point he never did and certainly doesn't now deserve to be on PPV.
I honestly hope the PPV did badly to discourage them putting on **** cards like that.
Look at it this way, some younger more entertaining fighters lost a TV spot on HBO or Showtime because of this card and the viewership it would have taken away so the networks didn't bother with a date.

Originally posted by crillz View Posthe defended the Middleweight title 20 times but he cheated his way threw all those so called defenses, he abused Kieth Holmes to the balls all night, he pushed Trinidad every single time he dropped him, he basically hit him and gave him a little push on the inside to bring him down, he head butted his way into victories against Tarver and Wright and he cheated his way to beating Kelly Pavlik, someone who is going to use illegal tactics to make a name for himself is not needed nor welcome at least in my book when it comes to Boxing or any talks of it, Floyd Mayweather Jr is so great because he makes it look EASY WITHOUT cheating something this old joke knows nothing about
Also, how did he cheat against Tarver, Winky or Pavlik? I'd say he did more things skillful than dirty in either of them.Last edited by slicksouthpaw16; 04-04-2010, 11:55 AM.

The dude had always stepped in the ring against the best but all of a sudden because he doesn't face Chad, he isn't willing to face the best? Also, since when is B-Hop trying to be RJJ? That stuff is lame and childish. In my opinion, B-Hop has already accomplished more then Roy. You shouldn't set your expectations too high on a 45 year old, give it a damn rest, he's already done alot for the sport.

"points" from the naive, recent boxing fan.
