Is Hopkins a coward?

[ClydeErwinBarretto]

Honor? What in the world are you talking about? You mean being a 40 year old man and taking precautions to make sure you win the fight is honorless? Are you saying fighting a smart fight is honorless? Someone should have told Eastman to keep up his right cause so that Hopkins would've stopped hitting him with those left hooks. But I guess it was honorless for Hopkins to expose that for a few rounds.

I'm not criticising Hopkins because "one of mine" lost to him. Yeah, Hop beat him fair and square, and, boxing-wise, he was the better man.

BUT... I would have preferred him to make the bout at least a little competitive. There's a difference between just trading from a boxing stance and an all-out war. The way Hopkins won that fight was without honour.

sorry anorak but you are way off side with this one.
you cant call one of the top five middles of all time a coward and expect not to be berated.
hopkins just did what he needed to win, and win easy.
he is saving himself for the mega fights and he has earned that.
sorry bro cant back you up ont this one im afraid.

Interesting.....Hopkins a coward no I don't think so, Hopkins failing to put on a show for the fight fans....yes, very dull. No question he has a ton of ability and rightly will have his place in boxing history but on that evidence I won't bother watching him again...dull as ****.

Hopkins is no coward? Where's your head at?

[Guest]

No but u are
quit your damn head out eastmans ass
u damn nuthugger

You think that's a put down? It's rendered impotent by repetition.

Oh - my usertitle was supposed to read "I'm HOT for Eastman" as part of a losing bet, but the store has ran out of changing usernames.

Hey anorak. If you could walk down Hopkins hometown street after dark, without pissing your pants in fear. Ill buy ya a beer.

I already did, last night. And I gave Hopkins a right old smacking - in fact I KHTFO.

Here's the evidence:

HOPKINS ISNT A COWARD. I get what you're saying, anorak, its just a bad word choice.

Yeah, but it's a way to inspire debate, innit? If I'd put "was Hopkins reluctant" this would have died in the water. Say what you like about my threads, at least they get a response, eh? (Except for that one about Don King needing a nursemaid... that one died)

[elveiel]

... I do love the way people try and compare Hopkins' performance on Saturday with greats like Ali and Leonard. Sweet science... crapping your pants and running away... there's a difference.

LMAO.

Hopkins was on this bike all night against Eastman

Maybe Hopkins should retire before someone KO's him.
