His performance against Calzaghe was one of the most laziest and disgraceful performances I've ever seen.

I agree with the bold part.

Me too. He did it twice against Taylor and he also did it against Roy Jones years ago. He never shows any urgency when he's clearly losing or when its so close. He just jogs his way to the finish line.

Bhop has proven his greatness. Every fighter seems to have some stans that think he's the 2nd comin, but cuz of his tactics and havin had a lotta dull fights, Bhop don't get the hype a lotta other fighters do. I don't see him gettin too highly overrated on here.

Of all the fights you chose to comment on you chose the Calzaghe fight...where both guys didn't really look good. Bernard at 43 is not in his prime either.

And I don't see any threads calling Bernard any kind of GOAT. He's one of the best middleweights ever IMO though.

BHOP deserves his hype.

B-Hop gets his dues on here because the guy is immensely talented. How many 43-year olds do you know who could so easily dismantle a guy 17 years younger who happens to be the undefeated, undisputed middleweight champion. His record speaks for itself.

But yes, the Calzaghe fight was a stinker, I'll give you that!
