Is it safe to say Benard Hopkins ruins fighters?

[ELPacman]

Every big named fighter it seems that Hopkins has faced and beat or even lost to(Taylor), are never the same afterwards or they just disappear completely(Winky). How many fighters out there were so good at beating their opponent that they are mentally damaged after the fight even if they weren't KOed, just being so thoroughly outboxed or schooled? I used to hate Benard back in the day for his boring style, but now I respect him more, especially since he took so many more chances against Pavlik. It's like, he understands his role in boxing and has adapted to his name the executioner in truth. He'll be missed when he retires.

Well yes and no. I'll say yes because I'm a huge Hopkins fan

[Naps]

Yeah, he ruined Calzaghe. Look at that performance against RJJ, awful

RJJ and Hopkins BUMS!!

[The Gully Gad]

He ruins them at the time yeh...

Hopkins make fighters insecure in the ring. He breaks down their rhytm and timing completely and only does only enough to win the rounds, which completely frustrate his opponents. If you're a young champion and you're forced to fight a 43 year old veterans fight, yeah I guess that does something to some fighters IMHO.

From round 3-12 in the Calzaghe fight Hopkins himslef looked insecure.
Bernard is a very smart fighter. I wouldn't say he ruins fighters. But he exposes their weaknesses like nobody else. If you have a weak point, I am sure Hopkins will find it.

I still see DLH making TONS of $$$$$ in fights.

I saw Calzaghe put a beatdown on Roy Jones.

I would say no.

[Grand Champ]

Yeah, thats because no1 IMO adapt as quick as Calzaghe + he's relentless. he never stops, never quits and keeps trying, pushes forward and punches every second of every round. He's like no boxer i've ever seen. He himself ****'s up the other fighters rhytm by his own relentless rhytm
