Hopkins hasn't been in an entertaining fight in a decade

A decade seems a bit harsh. I kind of enjoy seeing how the old man handles these younger dudes even if he isn't as active as his former self. Me too bro.....but the old dog better learn some new tricks if he expects to beat Pavlik! I think he can......my head says Pavlik but my heart says Hopkins......I'm going with my heart on this one!

Hopkins bores the titts off of me too! It wouldnt be so bad if he didnt talk so much shit about how its gonna be a blood bath and shit like that before the fight then procede to stink the joint out! Fuck em!

He was entertaining up to the Tito fight. He isn't as entertaining today, But he is still one of the most skilled fighters around. I think the second half of the first fight with Taylor was entertaining. Probably only because Hopkins knew he was behind on the cards and went for a KO but it to me was probably the most entertaining 5 or 6 rounds from B Hop in the last 7 years or so....Lefty

to me his defensive brilliance is entertaining i totally agree with you man, hopkins is a legend, u get so many dump people claiming to be boxing fans when they no nothing about the sweet science. Hopkins is a great fighter.

Hopkins is 43 you fat shit.Well he shouldnt be fighting then should he!

hopkins is a terrific fihter and this is coming from someone who generally dislikes defensive fighters like hopkins, mayweather and wright. there are some fights and fighters who i can passsivley admire fighters like pacman, calzaghe, hatton, pavlik, cotto, margarito, you can watch passively because its guys tradining bombs and its exciting. but if i ever want to see a boxer strut his stuff, if i want to see a boxer that i can learn from, if i want to see a boxer demonstrate the sweet science and show that brain comes first over brawn then i watch hopkins. if im in the modd to watch a boxing match as a fan of the sweet science then i can watch hopkins but otherwise hes just boring. i respect hopkin i think veryone should - i dont admire him or aspire to be like him in the same way that i aspire to fight like the calzaghe's, kesslers, cotto's, margaito's and hattons' of this world but i know a good fihgter when i see one, and hopkins is a fighter who does deserve our respect. ________ Marijuana Sativa

You idiots shouldn't even start Bernard Hopkins topics, he's the most boring fighter in boxing and has been for a while. He throws 2 3 punches PER ROUND, he throws a punch then runs in and trys to hold the guy. No more Hopkins threads on this site You shouldn't of started this shit thread either. I bet you couldnt hit Hopkins with a hand full of rice :bottle:

The right hand that rocked Tarver was the most flawless right hand i have ever seen.

to me his defensive brilliance is entertaining well said, it make his opponents look like amatures......

to me his defensive brilliance is entertaining

I got a huge kick outta him spankin Tarver in that fight. He has some excitin moments in fights but they're few and far between. Hopkins don't care if fans boo his shit or not, and he ain't a KO fighter, so he just stays defensive and tactical.

No one should expect a guy who is 40+ to be entertaining.

I loved the Tito fight. Boxing lesson. Me too, Very good fight imo

The Calzaghe/Hopkins fight was an ugly, boring fight. And to be fair, he's going to have to be economical with his workrate. You have to give Hopkins some credit for getting in there with people way younger than himself.

He was entertaining up to the Tito fight. He isn't as entertaining today, But he is still one of the most skilled fighters around. I loved the Tito fight. Boxing lesson.

Technically it hasn't been a decade but it has been a while since one of his fights was entertaining. But he is still pretty good to watch.
