@concise @yoyoyo1 will either of you be making a betting thread for the Hopkins fight?

I forgot since I was completely exhausted and went to bed super early.

:snoop: @ my facebook timeline

nikkas calling BHop boring and a cherry picker :why:

This is why I don't even bother with casuals anymore, shyt legit makes me furious.

Hopkins is a cherry picker, however he's paid his dues & he's a 49 year old man, so he can face who he wants.

Perhaps what is frustrating you more is that the casual fan is not able to appreciate a 49 yr old man going to the ring & outboxing his opponent at an extremely high level.

Hopkins is very good at matchmaking. The only time it really backfired in recent years was against Dawson. What he did was avoid Dawson, & than when he felt the timing was right & Dawson showed signs of slipping, he went ahead & fought him. Still backfired. It was just a bad style match up for his age.

How about when Hopkins showed no interest in facing Dawson, but once Pascal beat him, he jumped all over the fight?

Your talking about a very cerebral guy. He knows who can or can't give him trouble.

When you get to a certain position in boxing, you can choose who you want to fight.

If he has his sights set on Stevenson, that's definitely not a cherry pick, but I still believe Hopkins takes fights that he knows he can confidently win.

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
I just wanna say GAAAHHHHHDDDD DAAAAAAMN Pauli got his whooped..

:mjlol: at the thought of this weak ass nikka beating Pacquiao.

I feel for whoever gets in the ring with this nikka Porter. He is definitely a problem for anyone including Floydie:whew:

Back to Pauletta... Them nikkas real bold for not stopping the fight early... He took way too much damage

BHop is still gonna get his ass KO'd by Adonis
