I'm sorry but he does. He throws 250 punches per fight and he's a serious clown. You should see him driving De La Hoyas old bentley around Delaware smh. Dude isn't that good. He loss to Jermain "Nap Nap" Taylor, should of lost to Winky, Calzaghe, and other lames... dude is ok to me. Not great. Some praise him for beating up Pavlik but come on now. Pavlik moved up in weight to fight him. Not to mention we all just learned that Pavlik is a MUMMY.- Boxing scenes own BADGUY

              You make good points. Personally, I've always respected B-Hops skill level. His fights with Antwon Echols, Keith Holmes, Joppy, Trinidad, Vanderpool, etc... showed me what a tough SOB Hopkins is.

              I don't care for his personality at all. He's always struck me as a con artist that will do or say anything to fit his agenda. He's also the dirtiest son of a ***** I've ever seen in a boxing ring.

              Truth is his biggest wins came against former welterweights (tito) and lightweights (oscar). The Pavlik win was pretty damn impressive though. Remember, Pavlik gave Martinez more trouble than he gave to Hopkins.

              I think Hopkins is an all time great. It's just a shame he's such a low character individual.

                  Throwing 250 punches per fight? Leonard would have mopped the floor with him...

                    People over here in Jersey **** on him, and we're basically philly where I live. People over here show more love to Roy Jones Jr then Hopkins. Its hard to like a dude who is known to be dirty, and its not just because of his age. If you seen his fights when he was younger he'd do **** like hit fighters on the back of the head and he still used that headbutting ****.

                      He did Antwon Echols so dirty in the rematch. He hit dude behind the head with power shots. LOL! He faked a shoulder injury. Bernard was a mess.
