Comments Thread For: Hopkins Explodes on Golden Boy, Critics: "I Won't Retire"

[Imhotep]

He didn't decline Adamek, Adamek outpriced himself asking for more money unstead of saying, "**** it, he is a top P4P fighter, i will beat him and then make more money".

And Dawson, well that one he could've taken but he made a reasonable explanation why he didn't, saying that Dawson brings nothing to the table financially as a draw/ticket-seller, or legacy wise, so why try beating a guy who could be the future once the old-timers are retired for good.

In conclusion, Hopkins at his age is entitled to cherry-pick, he beat a young guy in Pavlik and that's enough. Still doesn't mean he is gonna fight bums because as he put it, he needs something that motivates him to keep going so whoever it is, is who it is.

HBO offered Hopkins 3 million for him and Dawson to split.Hopkins could have took 2 million which is`nt bad.And Dawson would have made Hopkins record better.Hopkins instead fought a journeyman last year for way less then HBO offered for Dawson and Hopkins did`nt even look that good and the fight was boring.I did`nt even bother watching the entire fight.

Hopkins seems paranoid that the white establishment are against him or some ****.

lol yeah but ones gotta know that Hop did not at all take that last fight seriously..not one...all that fight happened to be was a glorified sparring match for him

He should sign with Top Rank just for the comic value and irony alone.

That would be great entertainment for sure

Chad Dawson would just go to work on Bernard i think we all know that after seeing what him and jones got upto. Its funny jones was saying that Bhops head is so big how is he supposed to miss it, he sure couldnt miss the back of it.

what? he had a tune up fight and he donated most of the purse, that **** don't even count.

So against dawson he would have had to split $3 million when he made a very minimum of $3 million against Jones. You see what hopkins did there? Went for the money.

Its more respect than anything. Hopkins was the first big name to go with goldenboy, and he also has scouted and brought fighters under the company. Scheafer should have spoken with him before asking him to retire. After Pacquoio kicked Oscars ass Scahefer said nothing about retirement until he spoke with De La Hoya.

Who?

hopkins chats such bollocks he beat the great white hope geta grip pavlik was a hype job who ad only beat taylor who turns out wasnt much anyway hopkins is stil decent fighter but not what he thinks he is rely thinks hes on pacs floyds level still think hes had a great career no need to carry on anyway if you wont face dawson the best in your weight whats the point

you have to admit nobody gave b-hop a chance vs kelly. the question was will kelly be the first to ko b-hop and thats all kelly talked about was ko'ing bhop. then bhop schooled kelly and defied common sense to beat the had hitting kelly.
