If hopkins would have let his hands go he would have won that fight. He already landed the cleaner, harder shots. Calzaghe outworked him with arm punches stealing rounds but every time hopkins let his hands go he was successful.
Back then I and many others thought Hopkins didnt have the stamina anymore at his age and thats why he was so cautious and low output... but we seen since that fight that he has really good stamina for his age. He was overly cautious in that fight and it caused him the loss. Poor strategy on his part, just taking a little more risk would have won him the fight, what is going to happen is calzaghe going to land an open glove slap counter and KO him?
Joe beat Bernard's ass.
I would LOVE to see Sergey stomp old man Hopkins unconscious. It won't happen because Hopkins will duck him out of fear.
I hate Bernard Hopkins.
I would rather stick a ****ing icepick in my ****ing eye than watch that boring racist piece of **** box.
Hurry up and retire.
honestly
never saw hopkins first loss
roy clearly beat him
taylor fight 1 should have been a draw
taylor 2 hopkins lost
calzaghe won IMO, close but joe pulled it out 114-113
Dawson was a clear loss,,,
honestly only the first taylor fight is debatable,, calzaghe haters will say hopkins won vs joe, but joe outworked him and dominated the ring generalship
To the naked eye perhaps
But if you zoom in enough you can see Joe's slaps boucing off an invisible barrier that radiates off of Hopkin's melanin
He landed enough to make Hopkins fake a low blow to get a breather.
I thought he lost to Calzaghe. He just wasn't busy enough in my opinion and got outworked.

and there's no way he lost to Calzaghe. He said he would never lose to a white boy so how could he?

They always say boxing is mostly mental
Mentally, he knew a white fighter could never beat him. Their lack of melanin prevents them from landing on a slick black fighter like Hopkins. It's cuz science
