Hopkins isn't as bad as Ruiz, but he shouldn't be given a free pass for his clenching, holding and butting.
It was pretty damn ugly.
The only reason I'm not more critical is that when your as old as Bernard, you have to adapt to win. If he hadn't employed the style he did, then he probably wouldn't have beat a masterful boxer like Winky.

You've lost all your credibility already in your real user name (I know who you are little bitch), and now you've ruined it again with your alias.
Fuckin coward noob.
Just like you to tell me who I am and who you are.

Considering his age and who he was in against, he did what he needed to do to win. I'm not saying he is exciting, but he is in his 40's and still in there with the best pound-for-pound guys in the world.
I didn't pay for this fight, and I'm a fan of Hopkins (watched it at friend's house). You know why? Because it was Hopkins vs WINKY WRIGHT. Either way you look at it, it was going to come down to a decision.
To anyone who bought this fight and expected anything more than they got, you are idiots. What the hell did you expect with two great technicians and defensive geniuses. If you are looking for a WAR then don't watch a fight like this, I don't know how anyone expected any different.

When he beat Tarver no one used his age as an excuse so don't start now. The credit Hopkins deserves is he showed how hard he is to hit. I would love to see him and RJJ get it on once more, but obvious Hopkins thinks he deserves 50/50...go figure? Anyhow, us idiots didn't expect anything less from Hopkins...just thought he would give us a performance like Tarver...actually throwing punches.

Firstly I gotta apologize, just re-read my post and boy did I sound angry. :p. Second, I see what you are saying but if you expected Hopkins to beat on Wright like he did Tarver...:-(. Tarver isn't even near the same level as Winky Wright in boxing skills nevermind the amount of openings given up.

Why people bring up his age to defend Hopkins style, he has a boring style and is borderline illegal. That's not my problem, if he finds it hard to fight cough cough younger fighters.
Why doesn't he create the senior tour and fight guys over 40s and leave younger fighters fight for worthy titles.

I just can't watch him. I really can't. I can't believe he's on PPV view in the States. He should pay us to watch him.

I agree with that Tarve/Wink comparison

I laugh everytime Hopkins says boxing needs him. Boxing loses fans the way he fights
I also love how he always says knockout when he only has one since Trinidad

Are you seriously putting Echols in there? Get real! I hate Ruiz! I just think its funny how the media portrays certain athletes that are similar to others. lol

Puh-leez!! There is NO comparison between Hopkins and Ruiz! When has anyone seen Hopkins fake a "low blow" to "win" a fight. That alone puts Ruiz on a whole 'nuther level - to say nothing of his complete lack of boxing ability!! :patsch
