Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: "I'm Going To Take Jean Pascal Apart!"

[ssop]

joking right?

Sure it is joking night. Maybe Hopkins is making an audition for the festivel just for laught that they have in Québec.

Bernard has really been a boring fighter lately always tentative and looks really afraid of getting caught going in that he rarely throws meaninful punches always talks trash and not backing any of it up maybe its just because of his age that his more afraid of getting hurt compared to when he was young nonetheless he's too much of a safety first fighter these days which is why i really dont know how he is going to take pascal apart.... maybe by running taunting and dancing around he'll be able to dizzy up pascal and then throw his tentative punches hoping that he will win by an uneventful unanimous decision which obviously hes been satisfied doing lately as long as he collects his win and his cash.... doesn't really care about the boos hes getting during the fight and what fans think of the fight.... he'll just try to be a nastier pre-fight trash talker on his next fight and try to lure those booing fight fans again to pay and watch him fight... believing in his trash talks that he will be meaner and gung ho this time.... which of course he is not.

hes fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukn 45 years old???

what do you expect f in mike tyson prime?

he was not boring dismantling pavlick or tarver and both those fights he was

in his 40'

you young guys just dont get it. with age your body and reflexes change and

slow down.

this is america, if bhop wants to fight a boring safety first fight and STILL win

then have somebody beat him into retirement

in this great nation we can live out our dreams.

and thank god bhop didnt fight dawson because im a dawson fan and he would

have ruined him as he ruined pavlik.

once you KNOW you know nothing and have NO confidence you are ruined.

its a long road back, ask pavlik and tarver, who im a fan of as well.

experience plays a huge part as does ring IQ

pascal is young and fast but he is NOT active.

bhop can control pace, distance and get off when he needs to

calzaghe had the speed and footwork to out hustle bhop and out point him

pascal does not

another thing, pascal is built with fast twitch muscle fibers, sprint muscles, fast

but burn out and tire fast.


this fight is intriguing.

if bhop comes out looking like he did against roy then he will be in trouble.

but if he can come out with the coordination and gameplan as he did pavlik

then you will be looking at the oldest champion ever in the history of boxing

it all comes down to bhops legs.

Winner should face chad dawson imo, so it would be ideal for froch if bhop won, then wed have,

Froch-Pascal 2 and Bhop-Dawson (hopefully bhop doesnt duck chad again)

im a dawson fan but why would chad deserve a title shot coming off a horrible

one sided loss to pascal?

he doesnt.

froch deserves one, even thou i cant stand him.

or glen johnson, who i think will beat froch anyways.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah , ah, ah,please stop being so funny. You could even beat someone of 42 years old and on that night you cryed all the time. Poor man go back home on your feet cause the 18 you wont be able to grand pa.

Perhaps you require a return to school to learn how to write a complete and logical sentence.

Articulate does not describe you and neither does knowledge of boxing history.

The man has accomplished very much in this sport and God bless him for continuing to pursue his dreams.

Please break your return key

.......

.....

.....

I've

always

found

his

style

boring and dirty...

[gambleer]

The only was Hopkins can win this fight is using his well known dirty tricks: hold, headbutt, clinch and fake low blows.

[120]

I honestly hope he retires after this

[gattigal]

Oh, please!! You couldn't even handle Roy Jones and you were fouling him all over the place! You hid it from the ref but we saw it. Not to mention writhing on the canvas and crying like a little girl!!!!!

B*I*T*C*H!
