Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Su****ious & Skeptical Of Errol Spence's Eye Injury

[factsarenice]

After paying Manny's guaranteed base the remainder Errol would be left wasn't much...that's common knowledge.

It was also reported that Errol was off and taking a lot of punishment in the gym.

This the same Bernard Hopkins that faked an injury to get out of fighting Chad Dawson the first time....the same Bernard Hopkins ehongot KTFO by Joe Smith and pretended it was an injury.....yeah I'll believe him gtfoh

That's why it takes one to know one. He probably knows Spence did the same thing.

None of us know for sure but I find it hard to believe ANYONE would turn down a fight with an EXTREMELY FAMOUS boxer like Pac and giv up all that money. That said, if they showed us pictures of his torn retina, we’d say, “ prove thats his eye”. IF they showed us a scan of his eye we’d say, “prove thats his eye”. If the doctor who did the surgery said he did the surgery we’d say, “prove it was u who did he surgery”!
Their is nothing in this world that can prove ANYTHING. ITS ALL FAKE NEWS. Welcome to the new American.

Unless after paying that EXTREMELY FAMOUS boxer there was nothing left. Arum said something to that effect when he was trying to make the fight with Crawford.

At the end of the day Haymon had to protect his future investment. Spence wasn’t looking good leading up to the fight. Getting touched up in sparring he didn’t have the confidence for this fight.

At this point we have to believe Spence until something comes out proving different. Is it weird/sus timing? Sure tf is. Even moreso with Maidana suffering an eye/cut injury.

Pretty much.
But I think boxing fans are just toxic, this ain't a American problem.

If this wàs MMA everyone would be disappointed but showing love.

In MMA there have been instances of weird timing and bad luck of injuries stopping big fights from happening, I never saw anything close to what is boxing fans do

mma fans are mindless followers who "love" to be conned thanks for admitting that.

Don King was pulling the switch a roo con decades ago it is nothing new and PBC has proven to be shameless crooked trash they are 100% capable of this. Ugas been training for Pac, Pac been training for a south paw and PBC already has the crooked judges bought and paid for. Hopefully fans and people like Bhop calling them out will stop them from robbing Pac.

We don’t have to believe ish!!! The entire story is su****ious.. down to they announced it was his left eye & after surgery his right eye is bandaged lol

[Pigeons]

Bernard's gonna make the Dingers mad. The usual suspects are seething. Downing a fifth of vodka, feeling like a joy ride right about now.

Hopkins is a thinker. Cerebral.

I think what Hopkins is insinuating is that we really don't know whats the story behind the injury. Was it intentional (self-inflicted?), was it from sparring even though with headgear? was it from the accident even though he was cleared to fight danny?

Or is it all of the above?

I think he's really just disappointed on the matter, especially on Spence. The biggest fight in boxing, which would've really help the industry, was gone overnight.
People have so many questions and not many answers aside from a vague pic with no context or reason for why a big fight like that was cancelled.

“Self inflicted? What the hell are you smoking? Hopkins is the king of dirty fighting.
He quit in his fight vs Dawson pretending he was injured just so he could get another pay day on a rematch.
