    He always did a lot of holding, rabbit-punching and always used head butts. He had to do this to compensate for his lack of talent.
    If this is all true how did he find a way to beat Trinidad. That perfect display of boxing skill and textbook right hands involved no skill whatsoever I suppose? Or is it just because he is a racist and you feel compelled to act in a similar manner?

      He's a master practicing his craft, especially now where his skills have to compensate for an aging body. From a technical standpoint he's great to watch.

        The bad thing about Hopkins is that he could make boring even the most exciting fighter.

          Great fighter but I have to admit I really don't try to watch his fights.

          I find the lad's fights in recent times quite dull to be honest.

                Yes but not as boring as some younger fighters who have no excuse to be boring.

                  I like B-Hop and voted no, but I could understand if someone voted otherwise.

                    no its because I made a poll asking if wlad is a boring fighter so 'wlad owns' took exception and thought that I was a black-american and decided to attack a black-american fighter when in fact I am a White-Canadian and I myself don't like to watch the Old Bernard Hopkins also think he is boring.
