Bernard Hopkins has never fought a bigger man than himself. He's mostly gone after smaller men (Trinidad, De La Hoya, Wright) or a few the same size (Tarver).
His recent opponents - Pavlik, Calzaghe, and Wright - were all moving up from smaller weight divisions.
Roy Jones defeated John Ruiz at heavyweight. Why has Hopkins always picked on little guys?
I lose more and more respect for you every time you post.
Hopkins is a natural light heavyweight, who walks around at about 190.
His first pro fight, which he lost, was at 175.
fact. it is for this reason why i say he is grossly overrated for beating up on middleweights, junior welters and welters. i give him the part-time movie actor tarver. one fighter out of an entire career that he beat that was arguably his size or bigger.

True... and I'm not a Hopkins fanatic, but I do give him credit for making the MW limit all those years. I think he said that during camp, he's strictly a vegertarian... I could be way off though.
