A true phenom. In my book, one of the smartest fighters ever to box.

From the article: "Opponents don’t worry about facing his speed or power. They fear what’s going on in his head."

Maybe we put the Kibosh on Hopkins. Saw his loss to Sergey Kovalev on Saturday night. Hopkins ran into a bigger, stronger, longer, faster, younger opponent. Kovalev won each and every round, and did so brilliantly. Really mastered his distance in the fight.

I hope Hopkins fights again, wins and maybe retires.

Yeah, one last big fight with decent purse even for a loss, but go out like Ricky Hatton.
