Bore Hard Slopkins: His legendary HOF Resume

[Easy-E]

Annie, I think people are forgetting that your comparing Hokpins resume not to other's resume, but to the high standard it is held here on NSB and by many other Hopkins fans, or fans of the middleweight division when Hopkins was dominant.

If this is true for Hopkins, my question is what is Calzaghe then... Hopkins has fought stellar comp.. and **** the excuses about weigth thats so sub-****ing-par if you can make the weight and choose to fight at a certain level and get KTFO your bad, Hopkins evolved into greatness and may have started the legacy with the Tito win, but his cementing it by fighting on at 43 even after loseing twie... **** YOU HATERZ

thankyou, good sir.

Though of course, because I'm criticising a US fighter (even with an avatar of an unconscious Paler) it's always "yo ,, who is gud from uk, lamo, pwn!"

[sparked_85]

But cos he's a "name" (), all the Fat Yanks will rate Joe on it for ten minutes... then change their minds and say The Blow's a bum and Hopkins was overrated.

have you seen what Joe wrote in his book? about Americans just fighting eachother like a merry go round making as much money as they can, and no one else can join in. It is kind of true.

The American critics will point to Joe's resume and say 'Euro *** LMAO'....

**** knows why Bernard let Joe Calzaghe on the merry go round.

good post

Most of Calz's opponents were second rate, but Hop doesn't have a win on his record of the quality of Mikkel Kessler. I'm being honest here. Kessler beats a prime Hop more times than not, and he's certainly tougher than a bloated Oscar or a middleweight Trinidad. Kessler versus today's Hop would be a walk in the park for the Dane.

Seriously? Kessler better than b-hop?? Is that another joke? Man, I give up.....

Middleweight champ: Nearly two years after this defeat he finally becomes a champ by taking a vacant IBF belt against the awe-inspring Segundo Mercado, a guy he'd previously fought to a draw with. After this he spends the next five years defending that single belt during his "prime" by taking on such red hot competition as Steve Frank, Joe Lipsey, Robert Allen and William Bo James. The first bout with Allen is a No Contest, which goes towards his "twenty defences" (WTF???) Glen Johnson is a rare abberation in this line up of mediocrity.

The Unification Years: Bore Hard takes another belt against the incomparable Keith Holmes, then cements his legacy by beating Tito Trinidad, a man whose ideal weight was 13lbs below and who had had just one bout at middleweight, stopping the mighty William Joppy. More greats follow on Bore Hard's resume, with Morrade Hakkar and Carl Daniels falling to this legend. By this time Bore Hard has all the belts, and impresses by getting a UD over Joppy, the man who had been KO'd in five by a welterweight.

The Legendary Years: Bore Hard takes on Oscar De La Hoya, a two foot Mexican who had one fight at middle, looking **** in doing so, and even his own mother gives him no chance. The entire Boxing Scene forum says that Oscar is too small, doesn't have a hope in ****ing Hell, yet when he takes a dive (causing Bert Sugar to christen him "The Acting Amigo") all of a sudden Bore Hard has beat a "P4P great". P4P is right... he's a great at several pounds below middleweight. Bore Hard follows up on this by playing kiss-chase with Howard Eastman.



The Rise: Bore Hard campains at Light Heavy, where he beats a weight-drained, only-regarded-because-he-beat-a-shot-Roy-Jones Antonio Tarver. The world sucks his ****. Consolodates this achievement by "showing mad skillz" (pulling his arms down and butting him in the face) against the plainly smaller Winky Wright, whose best weight was 154lbs.

Ah yes, the good ol "Bernard sucks because all his key fights were against smaller middleweights"

Bernard Hopkins beat 2 smaller middleweights Going into the Trinidad bout, Trinidad was known as great at middle. Trinidad was the 3-1 favorite, but of course he was a blown up welterweight, who was fighting at 154 and knocking out people there like Fernando "fat ****" Vargas and an "overrated" David Read. Not to mention 154 was only 1 division south of Middleweight.

Then there was Oscar "Golide" De La Hoya, who was also fighting at 154. He was so bad at middle he came underprepared against Strum, and got a "gift" decision. Oscar was so outclassed at Middle that he was actually ahead on one scorecard by the perfect shot to the liver. Though of course he faked it, why wouldn't he? He could have obviously just made more fighting Shane Mosley at jr.middleweight for a 3rd time, but obviously wanted to fake a dive when he was doing good. Not to mention he was ducking Winky Wright.

Speaking of Winky Wright, of course he was a "Blown up 154 pounder" where he dismantled Trinidad, beat Soliman, Ike Quartey, and had a draw against Taylor all at 160 pounds. He had not been at 154 for two years, but yet was still a blown up 154 pounder when facing Bernard. Not to mention that Winky also was known as a #2 pound for pound in 2006, but that doesn't count because it's a bull**** list that a bunch of yanks made up. Winky was also magically old that night and so he was a blown up 154 pounder, that Hopkins shouldn't get credited for.

Oh yeah and Antonio Tarver. He was an overrated bloke who was living off the fame of his Jones wins, weight drained, and poisoned. No credit there for that either.

So of course, Bernard is a fraud. He beat blown up welterweights (Who were really Jr.Middle's) not to mention had other decent names.

Fun facts: Marvin Hagler destroyed a 154 Hearns and beat a very blown up Roberto Duran.

Sugar Ray Robinson beat Carmen Basillo (who weighed 153 pounds) for their Middleweight rematch in 1958.


(Seriously, Bernard shouldn't get discredited for Tito and Oscar. Maybe Oscar, but definietly not Tito. He also has some decent names on his resume that aren't the best, but they are good with an exception of a couple people like Hakkar. I definietly think he's an ATG.

And Kessler better then all the guys on Bernard's resume? Yeah...sure.

Also, where the hell is the bringer in topics like this)

[sparked_85]

he definetely is, alas it is a sport of opinions.

[ИATAS]

Yes, very true but opinions can be questioned.

Not to take anything away from Kessler, because I do like him as a fighter, but what exactly did he accomplish that makes him better than b-hop? His wins over Andrade, Mundine and Henry Porras are bigger and better than de la hoya, trinidad, tarver and winky wright??
