Bernard THE LEGEND Hopkins has NEVER truly been decisively defeated. The only person that can make that claim was Roy Jones Jr. when he faced a green Hopkins but even that fight was competitive and Jones never truly dominated him or made him look a fool.
Hopkins has 5 official "losses"
the 1st one doesn't even count as that was his pro debut god knows how many decades ago.
The 2nd one was loss to prime Roy Jones Jr.
The next 2 are both to Jermain Taylor both of which Hopkins actually won and badly rocked/wobbled Taylor at the end of the fight. I don't count these losses as Hopkins was robbed.
The next was a controversial SD against fellow legend Joe Calzaghe where Hopkins dropped him.
The Jermain Taylor loss was SD also. Hopkins can never be decisively defeated.
Only prime Superman did it and no one else came close.
Hopkins is arguably 56-1 record.
Roy Jones is the only clear cut loss of his career,i had him winning both Taylor fights and Calzaghe.
calzaghe fight I don't know about but I had him winning both Taylor fights
Roy Jones is the only clear cut loss of his career,i had him winning both Taylor fights and Calzaghe.
Agreed, Roy Jones 1 was a clear loss, but everything else can be disputed in some way. What a great legendary fighter. Canadian fans are weeping tonight...
Much respect to Pascal.
He hurt Bhop more then anyone I can recall.
But besides that The executioner showed his greatness again.
The only thing he hurt was hitting Hopkins nonstop behind the head repeatedly over and over. What a dirty scumbag. Hopkins annihilated and embarrassed him
calzaghe destroyed hopkins. hopkins just held and complained the entire fight but when calzaghe held and complained the entire fight against bika did bika win? oh wait that would be if you were consistent in your scoring and not just a fan boy. you don't score fights based on holding or complaining anyway but i guess that's all they have since hopkins clearly outlanded him by a wide margin and barely got hit in most of the rounds.
i'm so glad calzaghe retired instead of risking a loss. all time great stuff!
Calzaghe is ATG too but he didn't even come close to destroying The Legend
Agreed! Hopkins once stated "There is no footage of me crawling around on the canvas looking for my mouth Piece." lol You gotta give him his props , he's a bad bad man!
