Comments Thread For: Hopkins on Chavez calling off bet: Once a quitter - always a quitter!

[HURTFEELINGS]

I love Bhop, but please for the sake of story telling, dont ever start with "Let me tell you what happened. I don't know exactly what happened but"

[Porter's Dad]

Oh I got beaten to it... Lol

BTW do you mean Joe Smith? If so, I have to disagree there. That was a nasty ass fall. I can't blame him on that one.

Yep, Smith. He landed nowhere near his ankle, it was a straight fall down, the ankle touched nothing on the way down, but he got up complaining about the ankle - basically it was the same performance he did against Allen and Dawson

First thing that came to me too. Love Hopkins, a certified ATG but he was a quitter on the sly. He even tried to quit against Smith by pretending to have hurt his ankle on the fall (even though it was a straight fall down) but he'd already lost

If you ever got him to admit he was faking against Allen, Dawson and Smith, I'd hazard a guess that he'd just say he was just being clever and smart.

Yep. Your right about Dawson and Allen. And the low blow against Calzaghe, that wasn't low. The glass back of the head against Jones. All dodgy, all trying to get breathers and points took off his opponents. Great fighter but a lousey sport.

Hopkins is a hypocrite is a GBP puppet look at this many times in his career his mouth got him into trouble I said things, besides Dawson the best thing you need to do is keep his mouth shut and stay in the background and look ******..

I'd forgotten about the faking against Calzaghe and Jones 2

Too many examples for people to not realise he was definitely faking/quitting.

Even though I think Chavez will lose it's ****** to bet your purse why would you leave your purse to incompetent or corrupt judging just look at The Kovalev , Ward decision or Madaina being robbed against Floyd or Castillo

What a fuggin whiner lmao.

That's pretty hypocritical B-Hop.
It's like saying that once you're a criminal, you're always a criminal about him.
People can change and I know it first hand.
I used to be a very bad, hardcore womanizer and have changed into a proud, faithful family man for over a decade now and don't even think of cheating.

People can change.

The thing is that it was clear that Hopkins didn't even hurt his ankle. He may have cracked his head on the concrete floor but why not just say the floor knocked me into next week and I can't continue? It's because he thought if it was an ankle injury, he wouldn't lose by TKO. Don't let the old fox out poker you.

Says the guy who clearly quit against Dawson in their first fight.

I didn't know Garcia's Dad was referring to the ankle in particular but either way, I personally don't hold that one against him just cause he had no business being in a boxing ring to begin with. Lol
