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

Hopkins is mad !!!!

In a certain I understand him cause he didn't lose a round since a long time, and he had a competitive fight against Calzaghe who is a real good fight ( underrated imo ). At 40 + years old, thats pretty impressive.

However, Hopkins need to understand hes not the young guy he was and he's not a draw in boxing right now. So to me he has two choice, retire, or continue fighting but stop crying that youre not the number 1 fighter of the world you once was, time pass, and youre getting older.

I'll still be a fan of him, I wont forget what he did during the 90's and the early 00's

that was my 2 cents

f**k it feed him to the Hayemaker and let Haye knock his ass out then I bet he will reitre

If you're not willing to fight the top guy at 175, what good are you for? Time to hang it up if you don't want to fight the best.

I understand Mosley's case but come on Hopkins had offers that he did not bother with ..........

Mosley had offers, too.

I guess this validates what Floyd was saying about them - and TO Shane. They are employees of GBP. They aren't partners.

But i guess we should have known that based on MAB's departure.

Oscar Delahoya is the Sean "P Diddy" Combs of boxing.

exactly, as a Bhop fan, he needs to fight the top guys, or retire

No he doesn't! He's 45 he already won his title in that divison and did what he had to do there. Plus wanting to fight a young, big punching HW champion isn't exactly taking the easy way out.


Seriously Haye is a much more dangerous fight than Dawson.

Dude, he doesn't want to fight Haye. He may say he wants to fight Haye but he doesn't. He should of already fought Dawson but instead he gave some bull**** excuse about drawing power(since when is hop a draw) and then moved on to some bull**** fight and now the RJJ debacle. BHOP seems to think he entitled to all these special thing when he obviously is no different than any normal fighter. He has **** completely twisted in his mind.

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

he should stop crying and bitching a bout everything and quit acting like hes better than everbody else, people are finally getting tired of it, i just dont know what took so long. that rolling around on the floor foolishness is embarassing for a fighter at his level.
