Anyone else warmed to Bernard Hopkins?

[slimshandy69]

Ill be honest, i hated the guy. I hated the fact he was racist to Calzaghe, and said all sorts a stupid stuff.

But i now realise that he was just playing a game, to sell tickets, it was business.

He is very respectful of Wladimir and Kovalev, and they seem to say very nice things back about him Also some of his speeches are excellent, especially when he was asked would he go back to boxing after the kovalev fight and he said "do you ask a women right after giving birth if she wants another child again".

Now he is out of boxing game(for the moment), he seems to show his true side and sems alot calmer and more humble.

Anyone else warmed to him like i have?

You like him now that he's become a more docile black man.

Now there's a surprise.

Been a fan since 98' , became an even bigger bertard as he got older and schooling guys like Pavlik.

i am sorry, i dont understand the point you are trying to make?

[Larry the boss]

Why would anyone not like him?

[Tay Roc]

After Kovalev beat the racism out of him, I started to like him.

Please, if anyone actually knew his ties to the community and the things he's both done and accomplished, they'd know he was a nice guy the whole time.

All the crap he talked during fight buildups were just a show. People really didn't like him because he usually schooled fighters they liked and has been around decades on end at the highest level of boxing.

Bernard's a better analyst/commentator on HBO than Andre Ward and the childish Max Kellerman.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He's angling for or has secured a job on HBO. Of course he is going to start acting more civilised.

[jas]

He's a great example to anybody for the most part

Dirk hasn't got a clue what he's talking about

Bhop called froch a coward and told Chaves jr he would destroy him. Wouldn't call those civilised remarks
