      Let's stick to the topic here. Which is Hopkins. Who beat up on smaller men with the most sleep inducing style in the history of boxing. Who gets not much respect here.

        Whether you like him or not, it's hard not to respect his resume, talent, ring intelligence and longevity.

          I wouldn't say I'm brave but I have no respect for quitters.

          Thank you for your service. Fellas like me that haven't been in the service owe you our gratitude.

          In my opinion you have grounds to talk smack about a professional fighter as you must know what it's like to suffer physically and persevere despite pain, fatigue, fear, etc.

          It's also my opinion that the great majority of people around here that toss around terms like 'coward' and 'quitter' likely can't make the same claim.

                like the USA, for quitting in vietnam lol.

                **** this chump, he doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't like bernard for whatever reason. Obviously hopkins' accomplishments are better than just about anyone in the sport right now with exception of a few guys, no one else comes close.

                  At the very least he deserves respect. I don't think there's any fighter out there that can beat B-Hop easily. It takes skills to be able to last this long, at that level. And you can argue that he is the best in the division, and at the very least give all of them a tough fight.

                    Duran - 135 pounds
                    Hearns - 147 pounds
