Hopkins will never admit it wasn't a push

Those were some heavy shots... not sure if he would've beaten the 10 count if the knockdown was inside the ring.

Anyways, ...glad he's sticking to retirement. Pointless to come back really.

Hopkins will never admit it wasn't a push

People have to remember, he was hit with a good shot on the ear, before he fell out of the ring. He fell out of the ring and landed on his head. A bigger shot than anything that Smith hit him with. I give him a pass for not recalling it correctly. Add his pride to that, and you already know. He'll acknowledge when he sees the replays.

In a number of these threads people are saying it was hilarious but I sure as hell don't see anything hilarious about an older past great fighter meeting his end of a great career in a very dangerous way like that.
