Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins – The Executioner in Winter: Part 1

[IMDAZED]

The hate on here for BHop doesnt bother me in the slightest, the guy has always been his own man, independent as **** and voiced and stuck by his principles.

I admire anyone for that,

Bernard sold out years ago.

How did Bernard sell out?

How did Bernard sell out?

What Bernard talks about in interviews like this is what he used to be. When he testified against the powers that be regarding treatment of fighters by networks, promoters, etc. That's when every promoter hated him and writers loved him. But I'd say the day he crossed over was when we witnessed that absolutely strange fight against Oscar De La Hoya and then two weeks (geezus!) later, they became business partners. Since then, he's become what he once despised.

That whole fight seemed staged to me, and the final ko was a dive as far as im concerned.

The vast majority of boxing writers scored both Taylor fights narrowly to Hopkins; and a large number of boxing writers (albeit a minority) scored the Calzaghe fight narrowly to Hopkins. And pretty well every boxing expert in the world agreed that if Hopkins hadn't gassed, he'd have won by a wide margin, which means prime for prime, they almost all think Hopkins was the better fighter. So your patronising comments about casual fans should be applied to yourself.

Your useless post could just as easily have said that "if my grandmother had had a beard, she could have been my grandfather......."

"If Joe Blow had zigged instead of zagged, he'd have scored the winning touchdown."

And there's much more of the same

Like Oscar would have made 12 with Hopkins.

The fact is, you haven't got a clue how to score a fight, and no amount of silly replies will cover up that fact.
