Is Hopkins Bankrupt or Something? Why Does he Wants to Get Embarrased Again?

I think Joe is an emberassment period.. but that being said, what does that say about Bernard not being able to take it to him? It tells you that he is long past it and no longer has what it takes. Prime for prime Zag gets knocked out.I'm not saying Bernard embarassed him, that would be what he did to Tarver.
Joe embarassed himself in that fight. He was flailing his arms like a schoolgirl at Hopkins at times, evident on numerous HBO "replays". Joe landed more arm punches in that fight than I've ever seen anybody land in a single bout.
And 114-113 for Hopkins was the right score in that fight, 6 rounds a piece, giving 'Nard the edge with the extra point for the knockdown in the first round. ESPN, Dan Rafael, Brian Kenny, Yahoo, The Associated Press, and some U.K. based newspapers all agreed with that scoring.Comment

Hopkins isn't embarrassing - he's just boring. He'll do what he did to Calzaghe...and Tarver...and Wright...and that is try to tie up Pavlik and throw a handful of punches.Comment

It says something about his stamina, but when in the last 7 years has Bernard ever "taken it" to anybody? He's had to adapt his style to a more technical approach in order to ensure longevity. The results don't always translate into high excitement, but the have on some occasions. (Tarver, the first Taylor fight.)
People read too much into 'Nard's gassing that night, it didn't happen until the 10th. He's got something to prove tonight, you watch.
I'm not saying he'll Trinidad that ass, but a Tarver style execution is in order.Comment

Did you even watch any of those fights?
Against Tarver he completely nullified any weapons Tarver may have had, consistently beat him to the punch, and put on a throwback style schooling of the lineal LHW Champ after moving up 2 divisions in weight at 41 years of age.
Against Wright he completely nullified Wright's jab, and used a style that exploited Winky's defense. I had that one 8 rounds to 4 for Hopkins, Wright played into his hand the entire fight.
Against Calzaghe he dropped him on his ass in the 1st round, landed the cleaner, mor eeffective blows throughout the fight, and ran out of stamina for the final 3 rounds, dropping a split decision.Comment

after his last embarrasing performance where he got dominated and literally ****d by the "white boy" he swore would never defeat him, hopkins is back at it again and he is not fighting some 40 year old bum like tarver hes actually picking an undefeated young world champion
does he really needs the money that bad? i mean there is no way in hell he wins even he knows it
anyway dont buy the ppv tonight or else hopkins will want to keep fighting and end up with no dignity like jones jr or holyfield
You might want to rethink the "literally ****d" part of your comments.Comment

I find it hilarious that Joe's fans love talking about that.
As much as I love Hopkins (been watching him since I was 10), if he ever feigned **** sex with an opponet while the guy was bent over I'd disown him completely.
Any fighter for that matter.Comment

Kelly has more to prove then Bernard. bernard already cemented his legacy. & Bernard better not gas on Kelly since he has great stamina.
Not to mention 6 of Kelly's last 7 opponents had never been knocked out. They all got knocked out by the ghost. I don't think it is that farfetched to say Bernard may be the 7th in the event that the same happens in this fight.
This is a passing of the torch fight for me.. Kelly Pavlik by KO.Comment

He always feels that he has something to prove after a loss, especially a close decision loss. Look at what he did to Tarver after the Taylor decisions.What does he have to prove?

Anyway, I'm talking in circles.
