PIZZA FACE?!

[OnePunch]

what da hell happend to this sport?

Boxers are suppose to be real men, warriors, a different breed, a different kind of cats, who are proud, hardworking, blue collar honest athletes.

Now;

-i wont fight u at that wegiht, has to be a catch weight, 143 or 144 jmm vs fraud jr (WTF is that?)

17 divisions is not enough?

-i wont fight u b/c u are not popular, u dont draw,

-u dont have titles, your not linear champion

-i want % more than u ( i want 60/40)

-welterweights fighting career featherweights?

WTF PEOPLE?????

You know, what's funny guys is the two fighters that provide the stiffest challenges for Hopkins out of the four that's been talked about as potential fights for the last few weeks are the ones that couldn't draw flies to ****. As overrated as I think Dawson is he is a tougher opponent for Bernard stylistically than someone like Froch or Adamek because pressure fighters with leaky defenses are the type that Hops chews up and spits out. I think the guy that poses the most serious challenge out of those four believe it or not is Paul Williams. Even though Dawson has hand speed he's too inconsistent with his attack to get any respect from Bernard. Williams on the other hand just keeps throwin and throwin and the different angles he punches from would cause all kinds of problems for Hopkins. I would still slightly favor Hopkins to beat him though because everybody saw what a mobile fighter like Quintana could do to him if you can get him off his game. A Haye-Hopkins fight will never happen because of these rematch clauses with the Klitchkos that Haye has to deal with.

hopkins should just retire... he's not a great box office hit himself either

Why retire? Then Pavlick should definately retire. If noone can beat you why retire. Basically your saying I hate Bernard, I can't stand to see him win, and I don't want him beating on my favorite fighters anymore. You need to retire before Bernard does.

its not hate. what does hops really have to prove anymore? also there's nobody around his weight class that can pay him what he wants. if hopkins wants haye, he's gonna have to wait until late 2010 or early 2011 before he gets a shot at Haye.

there literally is nothing left for hopkins to do if he doesn't come down w/ his money demands.
