this must be like the 8th or 9th fight where everyone is concerned with hopkins age and "oh no is he getting old overnight"

bhops been around the game spanning 3 decades. im pretty sure he knows what hes doin in terms of selling the fight / mind games / tricks.

chad dawson cannot beat bernard. he just cant hes not good enough

dude just playin' mind games, dude, should be aiiiight...no excuses, if he loses though

i can get 6 to 1 odds on a Dawson stoppage. That's just too good to pass up with a young talented fighter going up against a 47 year old.

Yeah he looked like a beast for the Tarver fight, thats cause of Mackie, who did a damn good job and who doesnt constantly beg for media attention like Azira.

I remember giving him no chance against Tarver coming from 160 and then I seen the weigh in pics and I was thinking ****, his skill combined with the way he put on mass he has a good shot. He looked like he naturally belonged there at 175 not like he was bloated or overly bulky.

Last I heard he was spending his time working with Serena Williams. I haven't heard of him working with any boxers since Hopkins.

He was brolic back then, watching this pic and the one of yesterday's weigh in back to back, there's definitely a stark contrast...

so he came in looking like this on purpose??really?? i think father time may have finally caught up with the legend.if he loses i just hope it is by decision and not knockout.if he wins i will jump for joy cause it will be the greatest accomplishment in boxing history

Noticed this too. He used to be full of muscle, now looks kinda skinny.
