    I've always liked Hopkins and I have the Pavlik fight on my hard drive to show friends what schooling an opponent really means. It is also a great example of sportsmanship when Hopkins goes over to him at the end of the fight to tell him not to quit boxing and to learn from the fight because he has a great future ahead of him.

      Always liked BHop, the guy is boss in and outside of the ring. When he speaks, you listen.

        Dirk hasn't got a clue what he's talking about

        Bhop called froch a coward and told Chaves jr he would destroy him. Wouldn't call those civilised remarks
        A great example to who?

        People who bash up old ladies for their purses and go to prison?

        Most of us don't do that.

            But for those who do, do those things...Bernard is a stellar example.

              You know you're being pathetic and desperate when you are referring to 30 years ago to criticise a guy

                Adrien is just following Bernard's great example.

                  Yes. For stepping forward to fight Kovalev at nearly 50 years of age then giving Krusher due respect and not using age as an excuse when he lost.

                    Yeah, like the UFC fighter Rashad Evans when BHop came round to his changing room to give him some tips about punching techniques.

                      I have warmed to him NOW but thats due to his balls to the wall aproach in taking on the best of the best.

                      A man of his age shames those 15yrs/20yrs younger
