Bernard Hopkins - Legendary or Overratted

[djtmal]

HOPKINS is a blatant legend and anyone that disagrees is clueless.

To say that he beat up on blow up middleweights is ridiculous

i don't see why that is so far fetched, especially when he himself entered boxing at 175 and scaled down to middle...

[Walterson]

after two years of training ... to get the right physique - his best physique was at middleweight.

Jermain Taylor wasn't a smaller man...

DLH and Tito were knocked out...and Trinidad was a champ at 160...

bottom line is this: hopkins is a good natural lightheavy who overachieved by scaling down to 160 and making a name for himself beating men in lighter divisions...the polls support this

excuse and irrelevant...the fact is he entered boxing at 175 and lost, then scaled down to 168, then to 160

if he entered boxing @ 175, ran off 20 straight wins and captured a title, this would be a moot point

How does the poll support this when the voting is 61 to 42 in favor of Hopkins being a legend.

Hopkins still has a high percentage of votes.

he's basically saying hopkins was weight drained for nearly 20 years!!! lol that would actually make hopkins even MORE legendary if that's true!!
