BHOP has always been this type of fighter

[Forza]

Everyone know it's a flop. We're talking about Bhop here, it's not surprising he pulled something like this.

Even though round 1 was close I think by the 2nd he could feel that dawson was just too strong and fast for him.

[Larry the boss]

obviously you never have

it depends on the gloves and can you see hopkins gloves? course not, you're too busy below his waist

no boxing gloves will allow you to get a firm hold on anything...and yea son ive put on gloves several times cause ive actually boxed..if you think you can hold on to some ropes with some sweaty boxing gloves on then i dont know what to tell ya

You're intentionally being thick here, Larry.

If you've fallen out of the ropes, using your gloves is not the only way to stop your fall. Simply bending an arm around the ropes would allow a man to stop himself from falling and taking the full impact of the fall.

Hopkins has a reputation as boxing's dirtiest fight. He didn't get that rep because he didn't earn it.

He milked the fall. Then he milked the injury. I have seen enough sports injuries to tell you that had his shoulder truly popped out or separate, the weight of his cornerman's hand holding that icepack itself would have been excruciating. You cannot even touch a separated shoulder. The would have been much more swelling. More than that, Hopkins wouldn't have been standing straight up. The weight of the arm with a separated shoulder feels like you're being pulled to the ground.

Hopkins has done it before. If you bothered to watch the vid I posted in this thread, you could see it for yourself. No other top boxer has had this happen to them over and over.

He's 46, so of course even if only on a subconscious level there will be excuses made for BHOP. That's why I've been saying he has no place fighting anymore. When you use your age as a crutch to get away with bull**** you shouldn't be in the ring anymore.

This is back in 8/28/1998:

Go to the time 2:40.



This is the same exact thing Hopkins pulled against Chad Dawson. Hopkins realizes that he comes into a fight unprepared and exaggerates an injury.

In this particular fight, Hopkins lands on the canvas, then voluntarily rolls off the canvas onto the floor. There wasn't enough momentum from the force of Mills Lane separating the fighters to even knock Hopkins down, let alone launch him out of the ring & make him roll twice to the floor.

Look closely. Lane wasn't even pushing forward. He was pulling them apart and walking forward because the fighters were moving that way. If anything, Land pushed Allen, not Hopkins.

How many fighters can you name this happening to MORE THAN ONCE??????

Listen to the commentary at the time 8:00. Its tells the way everyone feels. After Hopkins decided milk it, the crowd is chanting BULL****. This is what Hopkins does.

Hopkins claims that Dawson threw him, but the truth is he jumped on Chad's back .. taking his own feet off the ground to add more weight on Chad. Chad simply shoved BHOP forward, and of course Hopkins stumbled, fell and supposedly dislocated his shoulder.

BHOP is the dirtiest fighter in the last 20 years aside from Andrew Golota, but he accused Dawson of being dirty. That in itself was comedy.

As I've said in other threads, BHOP is fighting much better fighters now at his advanced age because he knows history will not fault a 46 year old for losing to much, much younger fighters.

I'm glad Dawson did what he did. BHOP deserves to get roughed up for all the dirty **** he's done over the years. And what Dawson did wasn't flagrant at all. He's not obligated to let Hopkins sap the energy in his legs by having to support Hopkins' weight on his back.

Who would pay to see that again?

Definitely not me.

looking closely, I noticed Allen actually pushes Hopkins head with his right hand it appears in the direction of the exit, between the ropes that is IMAO

so I believe Allen pushed Hopkins out, not Lane
