    he's a scientist..he disects his opponents..you have to be a BOXING fan to appreciate his style
    thats how i'd put it, hes deff not exciting (or atleast to me) but in the fights that i've seen of him hes not boring, but personaly i perfer watching people box than just slug it out the whole time

      There was a guy called David Starie that fought Calzaghe in 2000 who was almost as bad, and then there's John Ruiz at heavyweight.

      But B-Hop is the #1 most boring fighter of all.
      **** starie by far is the worse fighter i have ever saw! His style is ****e and he makes Gary Lockett look like floyd mayweather

                Clinches excessivly, fouls, play acts, rarely throws a meaningfull punch and yeah he is good enough to take a guys weapons away but dont land much on him coz he's so focused on that! He is a spoiler and he spoils fights!
                LOL, told u B-Hop is a beast...43 & still doin it. u gotta give da man his props. oh, have u seen any of his fights b-4 Tinidad? if not u cant say he's boring...

                  I'd go with the consensus and say neither, but in a way he is exciting to watch because you NEVER know what's going to happen with Hopkins. He fought Tito Trinidad and everybody thought he'd get his ass whooped what happened? He fought Antonio Tarver, moving up 15 pounds, and whooped the universally recognized LHW Champion. Fought Jow Calzaghe, a guy who's chin was touted as one of the best in boxing, and somehow knocks him down in the first round.

                  Anything can happen in a Hopkins fight.

                    Im not dis*****g he is great, the guys 43, its amazing to be operating at the level he does at his age but does he excite?
                    Hopkins is making careers now, and filling his pockets in "mega fights". His fight plan consists in not other than getting off his fights unscathed so he can fight the next big star as quickly as possible. money money money.

                      At this point neither, but still intriguing.
