          Another Red K given.

          We're gonna brand you like the (B)Witch that you are, just like in the old days.

          Only serious posters, with an objective opinion/criticism of a 46 year old, Great fighter, at the twilight of his career are welcomed.

            I don't hate anyone and I don't need to justify myself. I just give my opinion. You gave yours. I don't think that he has a better resume than Pacquiao, Mayweather, Toney and Roy Jones... Those are boxers that showed true light. Hopkins is a great boxer, multiple world champion, but I rank him also lower than De La Hoya and Trinidad, in the history of boxing: a super-middleweight against a fat welterweight I don't call it a fair match. I also don't think he lost against Calzaghe like many American fans say.

            I have nothing against Hopkins himself, I just noticed that a lot of people are charmed by his self-confidence and give him some credit that he doens't deserve, as a boxer (not as a man... I am not judging the man here, just the boxer.)

              Just like saying that only certified Hopkins' fans are welcomed. Did I miss the "Bernard Hopkins' fan club" sign at the home page?

              You can give me all the "red K" you like (whatever this red K is), it's just for not being a Hopkins fanatic and wise people will see that.

                Maybe because I'm not a boxing fan. I just love the sport of boxing, this is it.

                And I don't like Hopkins' posing, holding, pushing, and overall dirty fighting.

                    What really matters in boxing: the quality of their boxing skills, and the beauty of their fights.

                      don't ever watch any oldschool boxing. You'll be shocked at how many guys made hopkins look like a Saint
