He needs to iron his shirt. Can't go straight out of the packet...

hopkins is starting to look older in these pics. glad he fixed his teeth.......
It's cause he keeps it shaven now so is more noticeable. He's staying groomed since he's doing more work with GB.

What a legend. We are blessed to witness such amazing accomplishments. Some idiots simply cannot comprehend what Hopkins is doing. Its mind boggling.
Would be nice to see Hopkins score a KO it's been so long!
I agree. Hopkins has made some dumb comments in the past, but witnessing how well he has fought closing in on 50... he is a marvel.
