It's Time for Hopkins to Fight Like He Talks
Collapse

I agree with what you say about all of the armchair critics, but I also agree with Mr. Stewart's general point that Bernard tends to talk a bigger fight than he produces. I think its a fair criticism that is shared by a lot of fans (including many BHop fans like me).Truth by assertion doesn't constitute objective truth. It is subjective and one man's wacky opinion. Arm chair critics are among the most vile there is seeing as how they expect more from someone else than they do for themselves. saying that Hopkins style changed to accommodate his age is apparent, though the writer is biased since this is conveniently neglected. It is one of the worst articles I've read in a while on here, and that's the double truth, Ruth.
Btw, this is an Op/Ed (opinion/editorial) piece, not a fight report. This is the author's opinion, nothing more. Many will agree, many won't.Last edited by NachoMan; 01-11-2008, 09:18 AM.Comment

Who are these writers....they suck! It should be a prerequisite that you be a boxing fan in order to write about boxing. This author acts as if B-hop has been losing.
Stop blaming fighters for winning, blame the losers for allowing them to win that way!Comment

I agree, they suck. This writer is critical of a man for how he wins. Only in boxing can the winner be a loser.The quality of the articles being posted here lately have dropped dramatically imo. Too much hyperbole and trashing of respected fighters. Such high standards for a 43 year old. LMAO @ people telling Hops to leave it all in the ring instead of telling his old ass to retire, and LMAO @ the writer quoting Calzaghe's rants out of context as if they reinforce his premise. Horribly written, style wise and content wise. All around biased and unrealistic. It's nothing more than one man's diatribe as opposed to a well written and objective article.Comment

Not only that, but they made it seem like Calzaghe is this huge draw. Yes, he can sell tickets at the door like no other in his home town, but last I heard his fight against Kessler was the lowest rated HBO fight ever.Truth by assertion doesn't constitute objective truth.
