Why does Hopkins say he fights because boxing needs him

[quintonjacksonfan]

Come fight time he lands 12 punches a round and fights one minute a round. He also always claims he will knockout his opponent. He fights
one minute a round and hides behind the clock trying to win a crappy decision instead of going for it

I still have him top 35 P4P but what a bore

Hopkins turns it on in the later round while most fighters get tired and throw slow, sloppy punches. He also controls the ring like noone else can.

Did you see the punches Larios was throwing after the 7th? Imagine he was throwing punches like that against someone like Hopkins... :ko

I totally agree withTHEMODEL: Jones, DLH, Tarver, Hopkins, Calzaghe very soon, Morales, Holyfield, Brewster, Castillo, all should be getting ushered to the door wih many thanks and appreciations. The young hungry ones are what's up gimmee: Pavlik, Williams, Haye (?), and company (a lot of comapany at that)-these are the guys I want to see.

Indeed as fight fans are having insomnia with the latest breed of warriors cropping out from everywhere! Hopkins sure is a much-needed panacea (even better than Floyd) for insomnia.:-((

Hopkins just wants to get paid and thats it.

all i kept thinking during his interview with Max was how good of a job he's doing serving and promoting Oscar's company. :yep

I still have him top 35 P4P but what a bore

too high, the following all beat him at his weight class:

Chad Dawson
Calazage
Kessler
Mundine
Briggs
RJJ
Jermaine Taylor (again)
Pavlik
Erdei
Hugo Garay

Theres probably others at 175/168 who would make him lose the rest of his teeth

hopkins, de lahoya etc, holyfield etc... is exactly what boxing does not need. boxing needs to push the new guys.

:good
