Did Bernard Hopkins fight more open in 2001 than 2008?

What do you mean by more open?

If you mean more offensive and opening himself up more, then yes.

Hops threw a lot more punches in 2001 but go back even further to the late nineties - he was an offensive NIGHTMARE.

No, he fights the same as he did then and now. He just aged. Like all fighters who age, they throw less punches to conserve energy.
