B-Hop the most hated boxer ever?

Maybe its this site & I am not his biggest fan but I have big respect for whats he has done. To the point I could never count him out. He is the definition of a wiley old fox. People can say he did this at a catchweight, done that but he has fought the whose who of boxing and all the way to nearly 50. Its like most of you hate him just because he proves you wrong time after time, over & over. I remember you all saying he won't fight Chad again, he wanted a way out. Now Chad is going to bury him, what if B-Hop wins? I take it you'll say Pascal beat him he is overrated or something? No fighter has ever proved me wrong so many times, he is a legend & whilst I think he looses this tonight I will be rooting for him. The guy is so intelligent in & out that ring its amazing to see a guy of nearly 50 still not just fighting the best but beating them & proving critics wrong. Over two decades of fighting the best of the best! I can't personally name another fighter whose done that! WARRR B-HOP! http://www.doghouseboxing.com/Media2/Bernard_Hopkins.jpg

It is an observation, brotherman. You only think its racist cause he said it in a negative way. If he said Black boxers were slick or exciting you woulsnt accuse him of racism. It was a derogatory comment aimed at a specific colour. Sorry but if a black guy said along the lines of ''White fighters are **** & cowards'' I'd have an equal problem or if a Mexican said it or whatever colour, creed or nationality. He dislikes watching black fighters but stayed up all night two watch two fight then made a pop at their colour, no I don't buy it & actually was on the verge of giving you a red K earlier so you can also a red K.

Sounds racist to me, I am white for the record and don't normally red K but meh, you're a twat & think black boxers overall are more dominant that whites not that I see WTF colour has to do with anything.

I hate the way Black boxers fight, why so much hugging? Dawson is a waste of talent, such a good fighter with such a boring style, amen.

Not cared enough by the masses to be the most hated ever, or be on a top 5 hated list.

I don't really like Hopkins. But, hate him or love him he's a great fighter who's earned his respect.

It's a bit of a loaded question. Anywhere you go the most hated will be different. I think he's the least respected maybe, but he doesn't exactly say things that make him seem humble. People tend to look down on anyone who does that. I hate Hopkins with a passion and would love to see him get KTFO but no way I would say he's not an ATG. Dude was shutting me up until he pulled that crap with the first Dawson fight. Hope he doesn't do it again. This discussion has nothing to do with whether or not he's an All Time Great though.

Floyd, Haye, are more hated than Hopkins. Just to name a few in his era. Somebody like Haye who talks, talks & fails to back it up you can kind of understand. I personally think he is the most overrated fighter of the last decade or one of. Floyd I wouldn't say was hated so much, bit of a rival thing for sure but naa I wouldn't say he was under appreciated or anything.

Arghhh true. I guess its sad to say he won't truly gain the respect he deserves until hes gone. Only then will people miss & appreciate him for what he has done.

When I read the title of the thread, I literally put the WTF face in real life. Like I actually went 0_o, to the screen.

I'm pretty sure Ali and Jack Johnson were more hated. :lol1: Yeah, those guys had a lot of haters, but that was down to social views on race at the time more than anything, I think. Hopkins is no way the most hated fighter of all time, but he is disliked by a lot of people... fuck 'em.

Come on, Hopkins isn't popular but he's far from the most hated, not even right now.

Its kinda hard for fans to like a fighter that does it his way, doesn't need to be pampered & baby & quite frankly kicks the crap out of 90% of the fighters favored to beat him. Might be the last fight of the greatest active fighter, hope he pulls a rabbit out the hat 1 last time.
