Back to the point of the thread. B-Hop seems like a tough guy mentally and known for rough house tactics, but whenever his adversaries spit venom back at him, with slight fouls,(Jones II, Calzaghe, Dawson) he turns into a big complainer and drama queen, thus creating the bully effect (pick on people then when they fight back his true identity as a hurt little boy is revealed). I bring this up because I thought he was acting like a pusssy when roy hit him low in the second fight and he acted like he just got shot and was highly dramatic and in the Dawson fight that side of Hopkins showed its ugly face again.

So is B-Hop a bully?

Nah, he's being cagey and playing to the ref and the judges.

Sometimes it doesn't work.

I've seen him go at people enough to know he's not a *****.

Regardless if Dawson was at fault, I don't see other champions quitting that fight.

i certainly do see other champions quitting that fight. floyd? *** yea,

any smart champion would probably quit that fight with their lineal title on the line and a separated collarbone.

why was hop looking for a way out? he wasn't getting hit, the fight was at his pace....um oh yea, and he's a certified badass and not a quitter and has never quit before and is a legend atg style. he's been in MUCH tougher spots and had far far far tougher fights than a chad dawson., there was nothing physically greuling at all going on in that ring except that he was working over chad in close

chad is nothing like that and will never be.

if chad doesn't slam bhop on his shoulder, the fight goes on. PERIOD.

Don't know about any smart champion doing that, one has to consider the event, it being on PPV. I do agree that Hopkins opt out due to the injury, and he knew the only thing he was gonna accomplish was handing Dawson the title. Does it justify it though? Not really...

Had it been a C level opponent I see Hopkins getting up. In all honesty, it's a tough one to touch, one could come up with so many conclusions.

Just hope we see a rematch and not PPV.

Anyone who thinks B-hop quit, is a...well you know...

Danny Williams fought and won with a fully dislocated shoulder. Enough said.

i dont think one has to consider the event, one has to consider one's own health before that, if I cant throw a punch with one hand due to a foul, I"m not giving you that advantage.

*** that, do it again on regular hmo for 2 milly. i'd like to see a rematch as long as it happens reasonably soon.
