    Tough and Popular or Defensive and Unpopular?

    Let's say you had to make a choice between having the career of Arturo Gatti or Bernard Hopkins.

    Gatti, although nowhere near Bhop in talent, is universally loved for his ability to take punishment and keep coming. He picked himself up off the canvas so many times in his career that he was able to become a millionare on basically guts alone. But, he got hit and he got hit alot and there's no telling what lies ahead for the man health wise.

    or

    Bhop is not even close to being as exciting as Gatti and as such is nowhere near as popular. He has accomplished much more in his career, but even when he was defending his belt 20 some times the public never really knew who he was. But, he has never taken a beating and he has a better chance to live a relatively healthy life than that of Gatti.

    So, which career would you rather have? Beloved by all but in multiple wars or hated by most without having ever sustained a beating.

    I'd rather be like Bhop.

    How many of my fans are going to be at my house to help me change out of my **** filled pants?

    How many of my fans are going to be there to help me order a cheeseburger at the drive thru because they have absolutely no idea what the **** I'm saying?

          If I was a boxer I wouldnt give a **** about the fans. You see how fickle these fans are on this forum right? If those are the kinds of fans I would have then I'd rather not have any.

            I don't have Gatti's purse list in front of me, but I have to imagine he did pretty well.

              I'd rather have Hopkins' career. Arturo is loved but he is also ridiculed a lot. People on here compare him to a ****ing punching bag.

              The fact that Hops is one of my favorite fighters helps in my decision as well..
