    Bernard Hopkins - Legendary or Overratted

    What are NSB's thought on B-Hop? On one hand you have those that think he is phenomenal for beating prime fighters at his advanced age, others discredit those wins because alot of those fighters were not at their best weight, and think B-hop handpicks smaller fighters to make himself look better than he really is. Thoughts? Poll coming.............

        No Debate A LEgend. He has been in the top P4P ratings forever. He is one of the smartest fighters in the past 25 years. The thing that impresses me about him is how smart he is to lure the lower weight big name fighters to come up in weight and Fight him. Fights with De La Hoya, Tito Trinidad, Kelly Pavlik, Winky Wright, Jermain Taylor, and so on where all on his weight terms. I don't like the guy personally because he was an ******* but in all he is a Legend in the sport of Boxing.

                  WTF are you talking about, ended whose careers?? You clearly must be on speed or something! Fool...Tarver won a title 2 years after losing to Hopkins and Wright beat him.

                    Whos been better? Holyfield is the only other fighter in the last 20 years who has made the same impact,19 straight title defenses says it all.
