Comments Thread For: Arum Rips Hopkins on HBO, Malignaggi-Mosley on SHO

[WESS]

There's nothing all that special about a lot of top 10 fighters. But Cloud who I thought lost to Campillo and Drew with Johnson.

He;d be looked at a highly dangerous fighter against anyone else including Campillo, who he did knocked down and hurt twice. He'd be seen as dangerous against Dawson too, due to people thinking Dawson is chinny now. Against Pascal, Cleverly, Bellew everyone would hype the fight up as really good fights. They just know that a 12 round whooping is coming with Hopkins so they discredit Cloud now, so that they don't give Hopkins credit if he wins.

I would like to see Cloud win but would much rather see Hokins put on a pavlik like showing and stare Bob in the face right after.

Hopkins could have fought Shuminov or Cleverly, so out of the title holders Cloud is the toughest fight by far. Sure he should have lost to Campillo but that doesn't mean he isn't the best of the bunch (Shuminov robbed Campillo too).

I have to agree. I'll be the first to admit Hopkins is one of the best fighters of this generation, however, I also have to admit that the fights he's had for the past 12 years have put me to sleep.

Hopkins is like that independent film that wins all the awards but is incredibly boring to watch.

Wow, I think this is the first time ever that I have agreed with Bob Arum. Ever.

[anonymous2.0]

If Bob's sister was part of Golden Boy, I'm sure he would have disowned her.

[rckdees]

why is this cretin worried about what's going on at golden boy and who the f**k is he to be pointing fingers? golden boy's no saint but this clown's been the poster boy for corruption in boxing for the last 40 years....f**k scumbag bob

[rey guey]

I agree with Arum, ha a 1st


what GBP is doing with Malignaggi vs Mosley is pretty clear IMO. they're setting up Malignaggi or Mosley for Garcia.

the WBC has ordered the winner of Garcia/Judah to fight Lucas Matthysse, Golden Boy isn't going to let that happen. what going to happen is if Danny Garcia wins he's going to vacate and move up to 147 and fight Malignaggi or Mosley for a title rather then face Matthysse. bet on it.

Hopkins on HBO if a spectacle and we all know it. he's 48 fighting for the IBF title against Cloud, yeah we get it, "it's potential history"

will the fight be a stinker? of course but it's Hopkins and people will tune in because it's a spectacle.

[Mr. Philadel]

Wow, cant believe I actually agree with him, but hes right. And Arum caught Mosley at the perfect time, where people believed he had a shot with Pacquiao. But after Pacquiao Mosley proved he was done. Theres no need to watch him again. He did horrible vs Canelo, he just doesnt let his punches go like before.

And regarding Hopkins. Who the hell wants to see him fight again??!!?! Hopkins is a dirty clinching, most boring fighter to watch, EVER! Cant believe were forced to watch this crap.

really?!?

the old snake is just spitting out venom...he need to get Bradley a date for the prom and mind his own damn business...wasn't long ago he was polishing up Shane's pipe....the old snake is just mad...everybody don't like mustard just like everybody don't like ketchup...but you'll always find some clown trying to CONVINCE ppl that one is BETTER than the other as if we all share the same taste ...hold that!!

[tredh]

The journalist who let Arum get away with saying this is a straight up punk
b!tch!!!!

Pressure needs to start being put on journalists to stop just letting fighters, managers, promoters and ect say hypocritical stuff and flat out lies and BS. Call them on fake stuff they keep saying that contradicts what they just said a day before. It's really disgusting.
