Hopkins says W. Klitschko "Not boring, he's a B+, C- fighter."

[Boxing Scene]

HOPKINS: First of all, I think he’s a B+ maybe a C- fighter. I don’t think he’s boring. I think he uses his attributes to put pain on the other guy and it doesn’t look too good when he’s not getting hit, either. I think that my style could be boring to some people. I agree that they could have that assessment of me, but I also think that I have a choice. Is the boxing about winning? The boxing that I was taught was to hit and not get hit. I have a choice to not be boring and punch drunk or a winner and not punch drunk.

The ironic thing is Hopkins won't talk about fighting Wlad, yet he calls him a C- fighter. So he's saying he won't fight Wlad at C-, does that mean he's rating Haye a D- to an F? I don't get it at all.

I think he means either b- or c+ but either way Wlad is clearly an A level fighter and any idiot can see that.......

Do you think it's rather weird that he calls out Haye but won't fight a dude at Heavyweight that he says is C-? If he's a C-, get in the ring and fight him, right?

Exactly........

He can have his opinion I guess but I think Wlad is elite level in terms of skill and what method he uses, not to mention he is dominating guys and could be considered the most dominant boxer in the world today.

[The Hammer]

I think he meant to say B+, A- fighter.
