Id like everyone to check out the BoxRec Top 20 ranking of the Light Heavy Weigh Division to full appreciate what Bernard Hopkins has achieved.
http://boxrec.com/ratings.php?country=&sex=m&division=Light+Heavyweight&status=A&SUBMIT=Go
He is not only Number 1 on the list
but is the only Boxer in the top 20 who did not start his career in the 00's,
Is debut was 1988!!!!
There is not a single boxer who debuted in the 90's in the ranking, and B Hop debuting in 1988 is ****ing number 1!!!!!
WOW Just Wow
Man is a complete legend
you still think Dirk isn't in the top 5 players in the NBA this yr?
**** in the playoffs he is number 1.... for the reg season.. Rose, Lebron, wade, howard and kobe all did better then him... Dirk was hurt and didn't have the look of a pshyco out to win it all like he does now..
funny how Joe C fought kessler hopkins and jones jr and retired right as **** was really starting to get hott.... Shows how ga)( and not good Joe really is, Hopkins is still around... what exactly did Joe C accomplish... You aint **** if you aint a recongized name in America Point blank.... ****... Carl froch gets more respect then Calgayzhe...

Yes legend he is. But he came into the sport late in life and is still here in the sport because he loves it. He has hung around long enough to be to pick champs he thinks hes got the measure of. Losing one or two once in a while dont matter as hes still in with a chance whenthe right opportunity comes along.
JC could still be around as well, but he achieved all he wanted to achieve. BH wasnt happy or satified so had to stay longer, and its worked out. Most people dont fight at 46 either because they cant or they achieved all they wanted when they were younger and retire.
