    i find the character of hopkins to be entertaining to say the least.

    i have been looking over the old calzaghe/ hopkins videos and hopkins career videos/







    It would seem he loved the money. Then again, who doesn't?
    I didn't hear **** cause I wasnt there, Hopkins said the doctor heard a snap and is why he would not let it continue.

        Either way Hopkins whopped Allen's ass in the rematch and would have been the same in the first fight if this mishap didnt happen.

            uh, he did fall completely out of the ring onto concrete. The video doesn't show the impact either, so you cant sit there and say, oh well he could have fought on, etc. without even seeing the actual impact of the fall. All you see is the before and after shots, not the actual impact. On top of that his body was all twisted and distorted.

            Hopkins has proven to be one of the hardest workers in the sport, never backs down, etc. It seems silly that he didn't want to continue against a guy like robert allen, unless he was truly hurt, especially considering he ko'd allen in the rematch, and then 4-5 years later kicked his ass again.

              Hopkins loves to fight, if he could have continued he would have.

                    I coulda sworn these guys fought twice more after that. Hopkins must've realized he could beat him the first fight.
