Hopkins nuthugging is out of hand!

[Truth]

^^i think i saw some writer even saying hopkins the greatest of all time now.

I'm a huge b-hop fan, but hes not the greatest of all time.

I dunno, man.

I mean, on the one hand, the ubiquitousness of Hopkins avatars right now is a bit much. And as a Pavlik fan, it's a little tough getting over what happened.

On the other hand, it's kinda great to see a great fighter of our era get the kudos he deserves. People have **** on his resume and the fact that he fought Tito and Oscar, "blown up welterweights", so for him to seal his legacy and get respect is pretty cool, IMHO. I mean, nearly every fighter gets bitched at on this forum, so for Bernard to just get praise right now is something I can't really begrudge him.

And, despite being a Pav fan and being pretty gutted at what happened, even I can appreciate some of the sig gifs from the fight, from Natas, T, etc. Can't **** with Hops doing the bolo

What are we supposed to say?

Team pavlik: We hurt our elbow and we were sick.

Hopkins fans: Oh ok! We believe you now! Hopkins is such a cheat!!

[keepthemhandsup]

the man is finally getting some wel deserved credit.....let him have some nuthugger's he deserved it

Hopkins had something wrong with him going into the fight.

he was 20 years older. lol

[-Boxzilla-]

he got such an impressive win . . . there has to be nuthugging the fight wasn't even a week ago.

yep. I was very tired of having to constantly defend hopkins' credentials the last year or so on this site. It's about time he gets some love!!

And at least I've been nutthugging (lol) since i've been here, not some bandwagon jumper or an 'I hate pavlik so I love bhop now for the moment' type of fan.

Yeah man. I was getting tired of that too. Funny how beating an over rated club fighting bum raises his status though..

You know what... I'm still a Pavlik fan even thought he lost. Know what else? I'd still be a Hopkins fan if he had lost this fight....

These bandwagon hopping ****s make me sick

pavlik was undefeated and he was an elite fighter(p4p) going into the fight. plus he was the favorite and 17 years younger.


ps. cool avatar
