Comments Thread For: Sulaiman: It is Time For Bernard Hopkins To Retire

[hitmanjosh]

Chad I picked you but!

I respect Chad for saying he had his number but the fact of the matter is Bernard was cheated on this one. I don't care if he was faking and could continue; He was fouled and should have been declared a no contest for the most part. These people are really messing boxing up and people like myself who have been in the sport over 30 years would rather see it for free on you tube because of bad officials and judges who are not good and have never fought for the majority. Chad needs to man up and say that was not legal but it was a heated moment. I have been a fan of Chad's for some time before people even knew who he was and I picked him because of his natural talent, speed and slickness but come on Chad, If anyone around you are saying you were dominating. Fire them! Both of you were still filling each other out. Set the record straight; Do it again!

Good point!!!

Right, good point and I like Sulaiman even w/all his faults but hope there is a rematch, one day, as Chad will beat him...once you get past hopkins straight right hold and clinch he can be beat as Dawson showed early...

In the ring, I have more respect for Holyfield than I do Hopkins. Holyfield fought his opponents toe to toe. Yes, he headbutted and won big fights with his head. But that happened much later in his career when he started slowing down. When Hopkins got older, his style and his fouling got worse and worse. Now he's perfected a fighting style that NO ONE wants to see.

B-Hop is still a great voice in boxing and I will always have tremendous respect for his discipline and lifestyle outside the ring. With that said, it's time for him to retire. There are very few fighters that leave the ring on their own terms.

I agree. Why should people see good money to watch someone clearly chicken the **** out like that. **** that. Although I didn't have to pay PPV for the fight cause it was shown on Box Nation here in the UK, I'd have been demanding a refund for that stunt. I loved his corner covered up his other shoulder after the fight so you couldn't make comparisons to the injured shoulder as well, it was well dodgy.

B-Hop didn't fancy it and after getting "slightly lifted" he seen it as the perfect opertunity to fake injury and hold onto the belt. Ref seen it that way too.

Maybe Bernard should retire to avoid injury, but not because his boxing skills have eroded . He out landed Chad while throwing less and landed more power punches by punch Stats. An injury from getting thrown down ,not by a punch is a no Contest and he deserves to retain his title.

He's just mad at Hopkins because after the Pascal rematch the WBC tried to take BHops trunks (for proof or some ****** stuff like that) and Hopkins refused.

Compubox don't mean ****, boy. Bumpkins didn't land one meaningful punch all night. The only thing he did that was eye opening was try to take a piggyback ride on Dawson's back. He don't deserve anything but I would love to see a rematch so that Dawson can knock him dafawk out proper and stop all the PMS bleeding by Grandma Bernard's stans.

Hopkins has no business being inside the ring. He is a slow boring boxer who throws an average of 20 punches per round. Hopkins is in it for a payday an it's sad that he has to fake an injury and rob the boxing fans who purchased the ppv by faking an injury. Yes Dawson pushed him to the ground but Hopkins' feet lad on the floor before going down then lands on his ass and conveniently puts his left elbow on the canvas ad begins his acting career. Hopkins do the sport of boxing and moat importantly yourself a favor and hang em up. Perhaps join the Roy Jones on the outside of the ring as a comentar.

This. BHop was already going to work. Dawson had landed 1 punch in round 2. One single punch. He was in for a frustrating night and was getting annoyed.
