    It was laughable.

    It was funny because all the guys had things they obviously wanted to see on HBO, Foreman wanted to see punching power and knock out, Merchant wanted to see action and blood while Lederman liked the guy throwing more punches with Lampley mediating and favoring the company man.

    The difference with the latter three was they at least sometimes deviated especially when it was obvious, not Big George though he was always waiting for that knock out even if the guy was completely out classed.

          Nice to see George still thinks everything revolves around knockouts. I think a UD will quite clearly make Hopkins the oldest man to ever hold a title.

          Regardless of whether or not "Big George" wants to recognize it.
          Maybe BIG GEORGE can get one of those *'s!!!

            Foreman is the man. Foreman IS hbo boxing. . . Thanks for the memories George. Even though I didn't witness them live I have watched replays of just about all your major fights.

                  lmao @ Foreman saying the record can only be broken via KO when he knows full well Hopkins doesn't have a KO punch.

                  Crafty man. Didn't know Big George set the rules too 'Break the record fair and square'. You can tell he's disgusted.

                    Won't happen either way, Pascal will be better prepared and win a decision.

                      Even as a huge Bernard Hopkins fan, I'm disgusted that Hopkins might accomplish this feature beating Pascal, where as George did it against Michael Moorer. Pascal ain't all that, he sucks in my opinion. I'm still mad Dawson lost to that
