Comments Thread For: Analyzing Bernard Hopkins' Comments on Manny Pacquiao

[Sugar Q]

Not boxing and getting ready to fight felony charges?

Only in America my dude can a man be charged with a felony for taking back a phone he bought. No pics, no evidence, just her saying he hit me. Hopefully you and your spouse never argue, oh my bad, nobody would care if it were you but when your loaded look out. Hopefully one day your not put in the same situation.

My dude Montoya broke Manny down like a pro. Line up boys, girls and ****tards:

David Diaz: barely won a paper belt against Erik Morales. A slow, face-first fighter with heavy hands but not one-punch power. Perfect for Manny.

Ricky Hatton: a face-first brawler who had been manhandled by Collazo and knocked out before with a volume attack and no real one-punch power to speak of.

Oscar De La Hoya: Hadn’t been at 147 for a decade. Granted, he asked for that weight, not Manny, but let’s be real. When did you really believe Oscar, who lost most of his elite fights, was last a major threat? It’s been awhile and certainly a decade since you felt that about him at welterweight.

Miguel Cotto: That’s a tough one. Had Cotto not been at a catchweight, we might see this one differently. I thought it was a masterful performance by Pacquiao. Hell, they all are. But the weight bugs us. Like with Paul Williams vs. Sergio Martinez II for the HBO middleweight title, if two pounds is not a big deal, then why did Manny and Paul ask for them? Everyone knows that the last three or so pounds are the worst. That will always hang over that fight, regardless of how fast or great Manny is. It just will. What did Manny do to earn a shot at a vacant title at 154? He hasn't even earned a real title at welterweight. He won that one at a catchweight and the title he won was won in a box off between Miguel Cotto and Michael Jennings. Not a real title.

And the Cheato fight: Well, Manny beat the ass of a slow guy who outweighed him by 17 pounds. Yeah, it’s impressive that he was able to take the shots and do what he does. But let’s be real. Margarito was never an elite 154-pounder. That vacant belt is as legit as Jose Sulaiman’s “Man of the Year” award he gave to Jerry Jones. It’s ceremonial. It says, “Here, Manny. You fought and won another exciting fight in another weight class. Here is the belt that commemorates that achievement.”

Nothing more. “Reality vs. Marketing”…

Haters going to hate, but has Floyd ever accomplish anything what Manny has done? NO!!! Fraud May-never will never step into a ring with someone thats 17lbs. more then him. That has a height and reach advantage...faces your Fraud May-never hasn't accomplished NOTHING since coming back from retirement. Or anything else for that matter, oh sorry I forgot about that "0" he's trying to protect against Manny.

OK.....no proof just his own son saying he did it. I'm sure he would rat out his millionaire dad who likely buys him toys and stuff that average kids can only dream of having for no reason at all. Some people seem to just find trouble or trouble seems to find them. The ironic thing is there are always excuses and blame to be laid on other people to exonerate them of any wrong doing......a short while later, they are back in the same rut again with people at their side to blame others again.

The only coward is the one who beats up on women and threatens his OWN children...YES, your hero FRAUD "THE COWARD" MAY-NEVER. Only coward, who is trained and makes it his occupation to beat up other MEN, would ever hit a WOMEN!!! Let alone the mother of HIS CHILDREN!!! So go ahead and call Manny a coward, for fighting Clottey instead of Fraud, for fighting Margarito instead of FRAUD. But honestly, who is still fighting and who is still on vacation?

Again JESUS is my hero dude. Do you hit your children? Maybe if more parents chastise their children we wouldn't have so many growing up not knowing what sex they are. Have you seen evidence that Floyd hit his ex? Is Manny really fighting or is this all theater for dumbasses because in all my years of boxing I've never seen such a farce. 6 recently beaten fighters in a row? Paper titles to go? Manny hasn't fought a linear champion since he was at 130. GTFOHWTBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a former fighter dude and one thing I know is a real fighter will not turn down 50 million dollars for 15 over some BS test unless he's on some other ****!!!!!!!!

...And a real fighter wouldn't create roadblocks and use OST as a shield against a guy he claims is "easy fight, easy money, easier than Marquez."

First of all I don't advocate violence from either man nor woman in a relationship but if you argued with your ex and your young son was around and his mother said your father hit me, tell the police officer, what the **** do you think your son will do? I know it's hard for you cause your not in the situation and self centered MFers have a hard time putting themselves in other people's shoes but dig down deep and try. If you have any decency inside of you you would back off of that **** until you know the truth cause one thing I've learned about the law: If they really had something on Floyd his ass would be locked up right now without bail.

[Brutal Honesty]

By Keith Idec - ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — We here at Boxingscene.com hate to inject logic and/or facts into whatever Bernard Hopkins attempted to accomplish the other day, but we felt it was absolutely necessary based on the erroneous, irresponsible nature of Hopkins’ take on Manny Pacquiao.

Hopkins, presumably because he had nothing better to say that day, intimated to Boxingscene.com’s Lem Satterfield for a balanced, meticulously reported story posted Thursday on Fanhouse.com that Pacquiao hasn’t faced a top black boxer because the “slick” styles of those fighters would be too problematic for Pacquiao (52-2-3, 38 KOs).

In fairness to Hopkins, here is exactly what he said:

“Maybe I’m biased because I’m black, but I think that this is what is said at people’s homes and around the dinner table among black boxing fans and fighters,” Hopkins said. “Most of them won’t say it [in public] because they’re not being real and they don’t have the balls to say it.” [Click Here To Read More]
