    that's one of the favorite myths in this forum.

    everyone tells me , "you should've seen bernard in his prime. the old bernard was unstoppable and exciting."
    He wasn't unstoppable, but he was pretty exciting IMO. Sure, he had some bad fights even in his prime. But he had a lot of good ones, my favourites are the Echols and Mercardo fights.

            My favorite Bernard prime fight other then Tito would be the Echols fights. Anyone else remember the punch stats for round 5 in the first fight? 27 landed out of 28 thrown for Bernard hahaha. Bernard seemed like he threw more thne 30 punches, but he sure did land a lot.

            Also Bernard's prime started when he battered Johnson and turned into the boxer-puncher style. Before he was a really rough brawler that wasn't as fun to watch imo.

              Trinidad for sure. Such a dynamic power puncher, very enjoyable to watch. I find prime Bernard entertaining also though.

                Hopkins was and is great and he beat Tito in his prime, but still I can say for sure Tito was just not ready for that fight, he wasn't even in the shape he always was in that fight.. had he trained like he should and that **** with his wife didn't happen Tito would've creamed B-Hop... All day Tito for me!
