    the last time B-Hop upset so many people was when he threw the flag down in PR.....and they still upset

      the 2 places are exactly 2,177 miles or 3,503 kilometers apart. By car you'll need 1 day and 16 hours.......not actually Hopkins backyard
      he doesn't realize how big the united states is. he probably thinks its a lil ****hole like his country.

        Quoted for truth. Over there Hopkins would probably say something like "Soccer is a sissy sport" and the nation would collectively burst into tears.

            Calzaghe would beat Hopkins again and Hop would be "washed up or past his prime" on NSB afterwards. It's pointless, the haters will hate no matter who he beats...

              Any place. Any where. Any time.

              Hopkins will have his redemption, he always does.
              Yep, Hopkins has got RJJ on his record as a WIN! Oh, wait a minute, no he doesnt...hmmm, no redemption there.

                Only because Roy wouldn't fight him after the Tito bout.

                Don't you find it at all coinscidental that he wanted a 60/40 split in his favor against Hopkins for a rematch, but gave Joe a fair 50/50 split?

                One word, four letters: Fear.

                    And furthermore, Hopkins is having his redemption for the Jones loss without even having to fight Roy again.

                    Joe was lucky to get a disputed SD win over Bernard, where Roy was completely mangled and embarassed for 11 rounds.

                    Not to mention Hopkins schooled the guy who schooled Roy 3 times (Tarver, the first fight wasa gift for Roy).

                    If that's not redemption I don't know what is.

                      No to mention the win over Pavlik, an undefeated Champion 17 years his Junior. Or the fact that most around here seem to think Hopkins has the better legacy these days.

                      Or the fact that even at 43 years of age Hopkins continues to win big fights, hasn't been hurt in 14 years and has never been KO'd, and nearly all of his losses were razor thin split decisions or UD's that could've gone either way.

                      I could go on and on, but Bernard outlasted and outperformed Roy. The records will show this.
