FAO: People who were not Hopkins fans before Oct. 18th.

[T-97]

Those are my feelings as well, and I was looking for an option on the poll that reflected that.

Too bad T-97 is a biased ****

Fuck.

I meant to add that on

But yea I know what you mean, still not a fan but have gained respect for him.

EDIT- Just vote option 4

He has definitely made a believer. I was a not a fan of his dirty tactics. Kelly tried to hit him in the nuts.

[Dynamite Kid]

I'm just wondering, who here has became a Hopkins fan, or has gained respect for him after the Kelly Pavlik fight.

I notice that NSBs opinion of Hopkins has gone up in general, so vote!

Poll to follow.

EDIT- Crap, I put 'Wasn't a fan before, Still now.', I meant 'Wasn't a fan before, Still not.'

i would not say i was a big fan before but i did enjoy watching his fights just to dissect his style and understand the intelligence he showed in the ring as much as anything else

i thought Calzaghe was tailor made for Hopkins TBH but i also realised that Hopkins was too old to beat Calzaghe as his stamina problems showed up against Winky allthough he still won the fight

im a bigger fan now thought deffo i never disliked or disrespected him though

[Pugilistic™]

Was a fan before and still am.

I will always be a B-hop fan.

[Clegg]

I never particularly liked him and I'm not really a fan of his now.

I do recognize what he did and I think it's absolutely AMAZING.

I agree with this good chap.

I agree with this good chap.

Good on ya, have a pint!

I've never been a Hopkins fan, but I've always respected him. He's done immensely more than Calzaghe, so I cheered for him in that fight, but that's one of the only times I can ever remember WANTING Hopkins to win. I picked Taylor to beat him, cheered Tarver against him, didn't care in the De La Hoya fight, didn't care in the Wright fight, didn't care in the Pavlik fight. Don't think I'll ever like the guy. His one exciting fight to me was the second Echols fight when he got mad.

[Derranged]

Never was a fan, Im still not a fan. But much respect to him for his performance against Pavlik. He really kicked it up a notch, he even tried to knock Pavlik out, which you dont see him do very often. He proved me totally wrong, I thought Pavlik wouldve been too much for him.
