Bernard Hopkins - Legendary or Overratted

[ИATAS]

bernard hopkins prime was only one fight according to his fans(the tito fight)

Name one fan that ever said that and I'll donate you 20 million points.

His prime, according to most people I talk to, including my own belief, was between around 1998/9 to 2002. So 3-4 years of being in his absolute prime (so ages 33/34 to 36/37).

I don't know too many fighters that can be in their prime for too much longer than that.

calzaghe just destroyed a prime hopkins and would have ko'd the bum if if wasn't for his cheating. calzaghe just had too much power for him.

Has anybody noticed that only Americans hail Hopkins as a legend? Haven't seen not one European or a Mexican to support this theory.

No but we've noticed that you know nothing about boxing.

Lol this thread is awesome because we learned that Pernell Whitaker is not an all time great or legendary, Roy Jones was a brawler and bernard hopkins has no skill, he faked his way into a hall of fame career.

You guys are great.

How many of you that don't think hopkins was a great even watched him in his prime? How many of you were born in the 90's??? lmao this site is littered with idiots and kids.

do you read man the polls show just as many people think hopkins is overrated....

...and please man...who really wanted to watch your boy hopkins beat up on the likes of bo james to a capacity crowd of 7 people at the blue horizon...

oh but we did learn that your competance for placing events in ascending or descending chronological order is about as adept as forrest gump's...****** is as ****** does eh?...jagoff :wank:

If Trinidad was a legit win, then why is Trinidad 3-3 at 160 and above?? Shouldn't ATG fighters do better than that??? Joppy, Mayorga & Cherifi were his wins .

see there's your EVIDENCE that B.Hop RUINS fighters......look at JT post 24 rounds with B.Hop......**** you dont have to look far.....just look at poor Pavlik these days!!

yeah i guess they are never the same after all that headbutting, lowblowing, hitting after the break and clinching...s**t taylor had a big gash in his head...i thought nard brought a shank in the ring...

i thought this was boxing not wwf

Same as Lennox Lewis. Both are equally overated. At least Lewis didn't hide and run all the time.

When mr. fake ****** cigar afficionado finally met someone as big as he, he lost. And in the first fight, he was beaten so convincingly that even he didn't believe the scorecards!
