If Hopkins wins his next fight

LOL - I suspect I have a little OCD , have you seen the length of most of my other posts? Please forgive. Ha I was only messing. No worries :fing02:

wtf.....Shumenov has no trainer? :rofl: :rofl: Guy's got lots of $s tho, apparently got a fully equped gym in his basement and mountains of fight footage...perhaps he thinks that'll do the job? smh. http://articles.latimes.com/2013/dec/04/sports/la-sp-dwyre-20131205 'Now his family....is amongst the wealthiest in the country'...I can't put a figure to that, but for those who are familiar with the history of the rise of new capital and oligararchy in the ex-soviet states - the guy could well be (at least by inheritance), the wealthiest pro boxer alive.

Cheers for that detailed explanation bro. That's 1 minute of my life I'll never get back. You'll need to make this up to me in the future, yeah? LOL - I suspect I have a little OCD , have you seen the length of most of my other posts? Please forgive.

And he does it with out to much trouble? Do you think he then beats Stevenson? Nah since Stevenson is a lefty and Hopkins looked awkward against left handed Dawson. Stevenson will land clean on him and win....

I think some other guys have simply copied it - after all there's only so many gestures you can make once the gloves are on and they're announcing you. LOL it's not like you can start reciting Shakespeare in ASL. Other popular ones are the evergreen Air-Punch (sometimes preceded by drum-roll of uppercuts, a la Kovalev) or the Throat Slit (I'm sure Curtis will give us a display tonight). And don't beat up on yourself, you probably shouldda picked up on the 'X'ecutioner, but everyone's made similar faux-pas at one time or another. Cheers for that detailed explanation bro.

Of course I know his nickname is the executioner, I just didn't add 2+2 together. That doesn't explain why other fighters do it as well though. Anyway, thanks for your assistance, you charmer.

green K low on coffee this morning, bud Apology accepted ;)

pretty much...he's been doing that sh1t for like 15yrs now you never heard of his Executioner nickname? you never noticed the big ass X signs on his wardrobe? Of course I know his nickname is the executioner, I just didn't add 2+2 together. That doesn't explain why other fighters do it as well though. Anyway, thanks for your assistance, you charmer.

I will continue to favor Hopkins against big, athletic punchers that haven't fought the variety of styles Hopkins has. And please no triangle theories. Thanks

you wanna know how i know you just started watching boxing? lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you wanna know how i know you just started watching boxing? Because I didn't know the reason behind a hand sign he makes? Nice logic.

the X sign? thats because his alias was The Executioner Oh right, I've always wondered. Makes sense. I've seen others do it as well, including Thurman.

Does anyone know the reason behind BHop's 'cross' sign before fights? the X sign? thats because his alias was The Executioner

We're did u hear he had no trainer? From the man himself .

Michael Woods. He's self trained as of now. He was asked about strategy during a press call and got frustrated. Said he was experimenting. Even if he brought Emanuel Steward and Eddie Futch back from the dead to train him, he would still lose in one-sided fashion. He's just not worldclass.

will be easy work for the superduck then, you really dont have any IDEA how beibut fight!

Nah. Shumenov has no trainer and apparently no gameplan. We're did u hear he had no trainer?
