Wait so Hopkins CRASHES another man's interview then he gets butt hurt because Kellermen isn't giving him the kind of fellatio he wants yet Kellermen is the one that got ethered? OP is a moron it seems.
Hopkins was probably reminiscing of his prison days when he was ****ing dudes in the ass.
I respect Hopkins for what he has accomplished but for this fight I hope Kovalev knocks his ass out and then tells him "that's what happens when you try to take my shine".
strait told him he lost this interview and walked off like a boss lmaoo!! hopefully this teachs max not to ask dumb questions anymore
Post the F^cking video HOMOS!!!
Hopkins is a egotist but I don't think Kellerman did anything wrong. It is such an anomaly for a 50-year old in any sport to take on what is perceived as a big challenge, that question about whether he can still do it should be asked. It would be irresponsible for an interviewer to leave that out.
But I don't think, Hopkins took it as seriously as people make it out. He is also playing his role. The "Alien", who does things and says things contradictory to normal human beings. He can't even entertain the question "if" he loses. He has to have complete belief. That will part of the shield he wears into the fight. He thinks if a small doubt enters, he could lose.
What're you guys talking about? Max was right in his final comment, nobody wins an interview with Hopkins, and it's not because he's a master debater, more so that he refutes any opinion which undermines his position and speaks endlessly.
Max is right - It is a fair assumption to assume that this 'could' be a difficult task to accomplish for Bernard, I don't see why that opinion deserves such a pessimistic refute from Hopkins. Is max supposed to just straight up say "Hopkins, everyone believes you're going to win, you're the best, Kovalev has no chance" and /bow infront of him?
Some posters are so stupid, really.
What Max did was discredit a legend who deserves much more respect than what he gave him. Hopkins has proven himself over and over again. Max should have asked Kovalev how he would deal with a legend like Hopkins instead of the other way around. Kovalev is a damn good fighter, but lets be serious he has not had the level of competition that makes us feel like he is going down in history as one of the greats. So we don't know if he's great or just a good fighter who is doing what he should be doing. On the other hand Hopkins is a living legend who has fought and beat fighters at a much higher level of competition. The biggest question is when will BHop start looking like a 50 year old fighter?
I think it's more telling that B-Hop took over Kovalev's interview and made it his show. Kovalev seemed to be too respectful of B-Hop, should have given him a couple of seconds then told him to beat it! Kovalev was the victor and deserved to have the post fight spotlight to himself. B-Hop is a master at mind games and just gained a little bit of ground against Kovalev......
Agree With you, I was actually surprised Krusher showed him so much respect,
Bernard not trying to win any of you "NEW BOXING FANS" over, his work is already DONE! And documented...LOOK HIM UP! This fight don't Cement ANYTHING, all this sh1t about him "Top 10 All Time If He Beat Kovalev as if Kovalev a legendary fighter or something. This fight don't help or hurt B-Hop. It is like adding a Cherry on top of a Ice Cream Sundae if he wins. The most impressive thing if he wins would be the fact that he is 50 YEARS OLD.
Kellerman was trying to paint Kovalev as if he was already on B-Hop level and/or already surpassed him. B-Hop is the LEGEND, Kovalev is still fairly early in his career and haven't done anything to come CLOSE to be considered "GREAT" or a "LEGEND" YET!
^^^^^^^^^
Great Post
What a surprise....a racist ghetto thug acting classless and the 'others' showing nothing but class even after being exposed to ape-like behavior...is this eveh a surprise? I was so elated when Calzaghe punked this racist prick...only the sight of hopkins squirming on the ground aftera Kovalev shot would top it (and of course Maidana beating the duck again but this time by ko:boxing:
^^^^^^^
Worst post in the thread. Everything written is garbage and you come across as a clown. I get your trying to race bait or whatever but you still come across as a total f.@.gg.ott
i loved it! max asks some of the dumbest questions at times and that may have been the dumbest thing he ever said in his life.
He said "If" and Bhop threw a little hissy fit possibly induced from all the hormones.

They weren't. All he said was "if you beat Kovalev...". Then Hopkins got butthurt.
you two both missed the point. what got hopkins mad imo wasnt the "if" part its the part about beating kovalev being the best accomplishment of his career. something which truly is ignorant and insulting.
not to mention the part where he questions if hopkins can still do it, i think hopkins was insulted and rightfully so. yes, he is 50. thats exactly why you give him the benefit of the doubt, he proved people he still had it so many times. like he said "i already proven im not the norm". after 15 years of people asking him if he is done (and i understand that people are wondering, i am too) he thinks he has earned the benefit of the doubt. that people should stop hounding him about his age until one of these young fellas prove he cant hang anymore.
he was right in walking away. you gonna stand here and not only talk the same old crap about my age but you are going to insult me by saying this guy whos best wins are campillo, sillakh and cleverly would be my best win ever? really? he should walk off.

Good point. I also think hopkins needed to hear that adversity to get his own juices pumping.

Totally agree. Kellerman was honest and Hopkins was a bit defensive. Neither won a debate but It's how Hopkins riles himself mentally, so I get it.
It is indeed, Pavlik is a very limited fighter that Hopkins was easily able to exploit.
Kovalev is a lot smarter of a fighter than Pavlik and it will show in November.
kovalev got a split decision vs darnell boone
thats not true

i think bhop was mad cause max was acting like beating kov would be his greatest win of his career
this.
but mind games start early with hopkins, he wants to come off as superior and if thats pointing out that his legacy is way greater than kovalevs then so be it
he also sized up kovalev early on during the interview as he does with all his opponents at pressers even when there is no face off
