    this must be like the 8th or 9th fight where everyone is concerned with hopkins age and "oh no is he getting old overnight"

    bhops been around the game spanning 3 decades. im pretty sure he knows what hes doin in terms of selling the fight / mind games / tricks.

    chad dawson cannot beat bernard. he just cant hes not good enough

        i can get 6 to 1 odds on a Dawson stoppage. That's just too good to pass up with a young talented fighter going up against a 47 year old.

          Yeah he looked like a beast for the Tarver fight, thats cause of Mackie, who did a damn good job and who doesnt constantly beg for media attention like Azira.

          I remember giving him no chance against Tarver coming from 160 and then I seen the weigh in pics and I was thinking ****, his skill combined with the way he put on mass he has a good shot. He looked like he naturally belonged there at 175 not like he was bloated or overly bulky.

            Last I heard he was spending his time working with Serena Williams. I haven't heard of him working with any boxers since Hopkins.

              He was brolic back then, watching this pic and the one of yesterday's weigh in back to back, there's definitely a stark contrast...

                so he came in looking like this on purpose??really?? i think father time may have finally caught up with the legend.if he loses i just hope it is by decision and not knockout.if he wins i will jump for joy cause it will be the greatest accomplishment in boxing history

                  Noticed this too. He used to be full of muscle, now looks kinda skinny.

                      Its become very boring reading the exact same shlt every time B-Hop fights.


                      by that logic he can fight forever then?
