Has Bernard Hopkins ever been hurt in the ring?

B-Hop was hit by Antwon Echols on a break that seemed to stun him for a second. And I believe he once said that Echols hit him harder than he's ever been hit before. I haven't seen the fight with Mercado. I'll be sure to download it.

Out of gas? He went down in rounds 4 and 7... That could have been due to the high altitude, and Hopkins arrived there one day before the fight, and didn't give himself time to get used to it. So why couldn't Mercado form any type of offense in the rematch?

I've heard one of the knockdowns in the Mercado fight was a delayed reaction knockdown, which means that the fighter is hurt pretty much 100% of the time.

Mercado was the closest thing, but he seemed out of gas that fight which was most likely do to the high altitude. He didn't really seemed hurt just knocked down. Another good question is: has bernard hopkins ever been cut? The answer is no. Out of gas? He went down in rounds 4 and 7...

That's why Golden Boy 360 is banned:) Lol jus kidding... Were the Mercado KD's legitimate El Dominicano? One of them was a knockdown from being off balance, and the other was a flash knockdown. other than that he has never been shook up.

Mercado had him hurt, I don't care what he says, he was hurt for at least 1 of those knockdowns. I agree. He was definitely hurt in that fight at least once. Mercado could really bang

mills lane ko'd this bum That sneaky bastard...

trust me Froch will have a good chance against B hop just remember how everybody thought hed get beat up by JT prefight, so when people say JT outboxed Froch thats bs, JT was no more than 2 rounds up going into the 12th, ( see all the press scorecards) and concidering that was his first defence being abroad , all his nerves etc he didnt do too bad going into the 12 but at the back his mind he was always going to go for a big last round he even said that he could have went for it earlier but he was worried about his first ever knockdown and lack of experience at this level, ofcourse JT beat Bhop twise and still boxed well in the froch fight, Kelly pavlik just wasnt himself against Bhop but if its at 168 froch will be stronger, anyway the legend is gnna be 45 and still on the p4p list but his end will come soon and I reckon froch will do it

Mercado had him down twice. Hopkins got a draw though so he was winning the rounds, damage was minimal.

Yes, by Larry Merchant in a post-fight interview. The dialogue was classic.

Lol, at least Bernard got his revenge, he basically retired Mercado:boxing: Yeah, that was a bad beatdown.

he'll be rocked by froch if the fight happens I doubt it'd anywhere near as Khan was:lol1:

he's probably been hurt a handful of times but just knows how to hide it.

Professional debut eh?:lol1: Where did you see that fight? I found a tape of it in the attic... Mitchell damn near KO'ed him with this massive right hand don't know how Hopkins stood up to it but Mitchell was a slickster so he didn't push for a KO... and like every Hopkins loss (save for Roy Jones) the fight could have been scored for Hopkins ok I never saw it so what

Clinton Mitchell had him stunned in the second round Professional debut eh?:lol1: Where did you see that fight?
