One thing that irritates me about Hopkins

[-Antonio-]

You're right Azteca. I feel like Hopkins is a taboo subject on this board. He's really gone under the radar, but in reality his resume has been overrated.

[Slotff]

All I have to say is Monzon>Every other middleweight ever.

All the rest is history.

he made 20 defences shut up ,,,no one said undisputed

There is one thing that irritates me about Hopkins' growing legacy.

He DID NOT MAKE “20” DEFENSES. He made SIX successful defenses.

After becoming the undisputed champion he only made six defenses. The rest were meaningless alphabet defenses. He DID NOT break Monzon’s record. Monzon made 14 UNDISPUTED defenses. Hagler made 12 UNDISPUTED defenses. Joe Louis made 25 UNDISPUTED defenses.

He's barely in my top 10 MW's of all time. Roudning out at about number 8.

What say you guys?

Bernard is a douche. Most Overrated Middleweight of All Time.

[Fox McCloud]

In reality, he only made 1 title defense if we are talking about undisputed.

Hopkins beat Oscar to win the WBO belt, and then defended against Eastman.

Then Jermain came along.

Overrated accomplishments.

Accurately rated skills. (I've come around to this one.)

Underrated businessman.

I have to say '' Bernard Hopkins is a legendary fighter'', unlike Calzaghe who only fights in the UK.

How could anyone disrespect B-Hop?! ****!! The dude was waited patiently for a boxer with a HUGE NAME to come by. And like someone here said b4 he was in his late 30s When he fought Tito! and the dude beat Winky at 42 and in my opinion beat Jermain Taylor first fight. He is no where overated!!
