    Never realised it before, But I am a fan of Hopkins.

    Perhaps I was in denial before but

    Man the guy rocks, everything he say's has alot of thought behind it.

    What a guy.

    Maybe the way he fight's isn't as great as it used to be (I know to some people it wasn't great anyway).

    But damn, the man talks alot of sense.


    Kelly Pavlik is also one of my favourite fighters, has been for a while.

    Can't wait for this fight now, Hope Kelly wins, but Hopkins will be there all the way, I am sure of it.

    Nice to hear that. I wish more people knew how GREAT he was in his prime. TheMachine had some nice HL videos on Hopkins. I haven't been able to find them

      Very frequently in boxing, fans grow to like fighter's who lost to their favorite fighter. That's what you got. Imo this phenomenon comes from the fact that that losing fighter brought you happiness through losing to your favorite fighter. At which point you gain respect and admiration for them.

                    you haven't grown fond of him.

                    since joe whooped him you have to say nice things about bernard.

                    the better bernard is the better joe is for whooping him.
