Does Bernard Hopkins Mentalliy Ruin Fighters?

bhop diggs deep and dosent retaliate !

hell yeah he CAN if you allow him to, they don't call him the "EXECUTIONER" for nothing, Hopkins is a throwback, a old school fighter, even if you beat him he will make you work for it he aint old school.. well according to James Toney he aint

I think he exposes fighters flaws and robs them of their confidence. If you look at Pavlik and Trinidad both fighters were undefeated, renown for their punch power, Hopkins exposed their flaws and shattered their delusions.

The Executioner at work.

yes, hopkins is soul eater #1. he's retired more fighters, taken fighters fighting spirit, and leaves his opponents as damaged goods......... hopkins fighting souls collected, the partial list: trinidad wright pavlik eastman allen echols lipsey mercado win, lose, or draw, it's not fun to fight hopkins, and even in a win, guys avoid him like the plague, poor taylor had to go through the gauntlet twice, calzaghe didn't want no part of hopkins in a rematch of their closely contested fight, racism and boring isnt an excuse to not rematch a guy, when the rematch is more exciting and has more to offer than fighting a shot roy jones, then retire.

Yes he does and even though he doesn't KO everyone nowadays, he hits ALOT harder than people think.

What about basically every contender and beltholder in the 90s? I didnt follow Hopkins career in the 90s. He might have ruined Trinidad.

yes, just like i believe in magical creatures and flying pigs :dance: the only thing that might get slightly deteriorated in his opponents are their bodies which usually have to go back down in weight after gaining an amount they were never meant for to fight him in the first place

I think he took a lot of Pavliks confidence and motivation away, the rest i don't know. What about basically every contender and beltholder in the 90s?

Yes. I made a thread on this two years ago. Hopkins ruins fighters. He takes they souls mayne.

Personally i dont think he does If hopkins beats someone and that fighter looks bad in fights after that loss its because he 'took their soul.when calzaghe did the same thing to fighters it was because they were 'overrated bums' Ive made this point before and it just shows the double standards their are Interesting...........................
