    Why Hopkins never rematch trinidad-The Flag

    The Flag is a symbol of every country, you see people cry when they see their flag in the olimpics, they are proud they represent their country with pride. we admire those that do that, regardless of race, color or religion. but when you pay no respect to a country, that show you that your values are very low. That's what Bernard did in Puerto Rico years back and that is in the mind not only in all puerto Ricans but those who knows that what he did was extremly wrong. because he feel his shame no matter how much he try to hide it, he never rematch trinidad. i never watch a Bernard Hopkins fight and many that i know that are NOT puerto Rican, i do not want to mention the names people call Bernard every time he speaks.

    That's your opinion. He felt enough to keep his word to Tito, fly back to Puerto Rico and apologize.

      I know Tito said he really wanted a rematch. But, I was OK with a rematch not happening. And, for the flag incident, Hopkins apologized for it. I think that's good enough. But, then again I'm not a Puerto Rican.

            He didn't rematch Trinidad because Hopkins tore him apart. Wouldn't be different a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time.

              Bernard is from the streets of Philly and spent 10 years in the pen. He didn't give a *** then and doesn't give a *** now. He "apologized" for PR reasons.

              Hopkins isn't scared of anyone.

                There was no need for a rematch. Bhop beat him easy.

                    This.

                    Also include Hopkins dominated him with ease.

                    A rematch would of been cruel to Trinidad.
