Bernard Hopkins is a phenom

Bernard Hopkins talks boxing, demonstrates techniques

Oh sweet. I'm gunna download this.

I like the Calzaghe one where Hopkins is ring side and shouts

"Watch the right hand. It comes outta no where"

Joe should have listened eh?

I think a Prime Calzaghe beats a Prime Hopkins by a similar margain.

Hmm. I think Floyd needs to stay active to keep his reflexes top notch. If he stays gone for a year or two, then came back. I doubt he would be as good tbh.

yeah i think i agree

im not sure PBF can take it on the chin either if his reflexes slow down and he has to take the odd shot here and there

Calz can only beat old men

I think Floyds chin is OK. He has been stunned a couple of times, both times by southpaw left hands that I remember (Corely and Judah). But i know what you mean.

If Floyd plans on fighting Cotto, he should do it sooner rather than later imo.

I watched the first Echols fight a while ago. I might watch the re match later on. Yeah, he really dominated Johnson, and stopped him which at this point in time is an incredible acheivment considering everything Glen has done since!

Even Johnson admitted that Hopkins shut down everything he tried to do but then he said he was very inexperienced at the time.

defensive fighters always seem to have the bit more longevity than offensive fighters dont they

i know he probably wont but how long into his career do u think Floyd would/could last with his style of fighting ?

It depends on how he adapts his style, with his present style probably mid 30s at most because he relies on his speed and reflexes.

To be fair, Bernard isn't as dirty as popular opinion suggests. Most the time he is dirty it's against someone playing dirty with him. I admitt, he ain't the cleanest fighter, but some over play it imo

Hopkins is great but he can't be compared to Toney or Jones IMO.

I think a 160 lbs Mayweather would cause him some trouble too.
