It's been done twice.

This is the only one that matters historically.

Surely he watched the replay... ?
Time to retire or If you want to come back with a win fight someone near your own age.

I didn't know about the rule and not sure how anyone could get back in the ring in 20 seconds, after falling on their head. Maybe they should have the mat extended beyond the ropes, so that if they get knocked out the ring, they land on the mat. I've seen several fighters get knocked out the ring and fall onto the table, but never head first onto the ground. Boxing is dangerous enough as it is. They need to fix that problem. With that being said, I think Bhop was going to make it a fight, but he was going to lose this one.

Embarrassing loss for Hopkins. He gets punched all the way out of the ring for his last fight.

He was in no condition to even know if he got pushed out after that right hand. He is delusional saying that Smith was slowing down, his output was going up

LOL, Bernard making it worse by saying he was pushed. Give dude his credit, he slid that ass through the ropes lol. But hey whatever Bernard has to tell his self to sleep at night.

Just because you didnt know of the rule doesnt mean it doesnt exist.What you are asking is ridiculous,The rule is to avoid fighter coward out and stay out as long as they want.Hopkins was hurt hence why he couldnt use the ropes like he wanted.How many fights u seen when the fighter gets hurt to falling of the ring?..Might as well put them some helmets.

Default response from Hopkins. Never gives credit to his opponents.

Glad to see the back of him, and what a lovely send off!

To me this looked like old fox Bhop slickly pushed himself out of the ring. There was no way Smith shoved him, I watched the video like 10 times.

You had to watch it ten times to figure it out he wasn't pushed?
