Hopkins is a name, not a draw.

That's why I was surprised when he turned down 4 million to fight Kessler, which was a very winnable fight for him.

gay or not he could do what he wanted to you or your women or whoever stepped in his place...........................quit talking bullshit about a guy who went from a hard life to a good one.................have fun driving moms cadillac bitch Whoa whoa who, whats with all the agression? I like Bhop, Hes a great guy and has done alot to change his image since hes been out of jail. But at the same time I could see why a casual fan would be drawn to him. Nobodies talkn shit here just speaking the truth...

Dude could barely draw 2,000 people in his own town. He's like Winky Wright and Shane Mosley. Only reason I bring it up is cause it annoys me when he acts like he brings so much money to the table. http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/original/bitter-taste.jpg

:lol1::lol1: http://www.dembot.net/images/rofl.jpg What? Im serious, Its no secret that Bhop was rumored to be a "Wolf" in prison. I think there was even a few guys who claimed to have witnessed him raped someone in different occasions. Hows that not gonna hurt your appeal?

hopkins hit mainstream/globilization. remember fight night round 2?

you know jack about shit in the relm of the sweet science youngster, when did you lace them up? or more like it, when did you become just a fam? Prove anything I said wrong. I like Bhop, never said i didnt. But its easy to see why he isnt as appealing as DLH who has the movie star looks and personality. And to the casusal fans Bhop is boring fighter. These are facts, Not opinions i made up.

Bhop is not a draw beacues - Overall appearance: The dude has been toothless for forever and he looks the same way he does now as he did when he was 25. - History: In the early stages of his career his only backstory was that he was a exconvict who picked up boxing in the slammer. It also hurts that he commited crime against the elderly and wemon. On top of all that its rumoured the guy was homosexual in jail. - Style: Hes not flashy, hes not fast, he dosent kncok guys out with devastating blows. His style is actually boring, very boring. you know jack about shit in the relm of the sweet science youngster, when did you lace them up? or more like it, when did you become just a fam?

if the fight was on a friday or saturday I'm sure it would have been a sellout

didnt shane sell out staples center????? Margarito sold out Staples Center. Ask anyone who was there, the place was 80% Mexican.

its his style thats why, nobody wants to see a fighter hug the other one to death lol..

It's a wednesday night. I rather stay home than spend good money to watch a tune up and stay out late when I have work in the morning.

Philadelphia has a large black population.

Juan Diaz lives in Houston which has a large mexican population....

Pretty crazy but i think it has to do more with his style. Juan Diaz isnt very known in the mainstream boxing scene but in his hometown he can pull 10k fans. Hopkins may not do the same but hes recognizable in public.
