The official Bernard "The Excecutioner" Hopkins appreciation thread.

We have seen a lot of fighters praised and given grandiose titles such as warrior, full of heart, and simply a great fighter. When these titles are considered, one fighter that ltruly deserves to be alloted these titles is no other than Bernard Hopkins. To him fighting is not only a way of life, it is his life. On top of that when has Bernard ever avoided or ducked a fighter. he could have pursued numerous "dream fights" at catch weights, but rather decided to protect his undisputed crown and cement his name in boxing history. He has never ducked any challenges even the ones no one would have blamed him for based on his advanced age. He was 40 when he fought and in my opinon beat Taylor, and 42 when he gave Calzaghe the toughest fight of his career and 43 when he dominated Kell Pavil (a man most thought would stop him). This man is a true legend and deserves his props.
