Bernard Hopkins - Legendary or Overratted

[Shattered Jaw]

Mayweather has a lot more to prove before you can even compare the two.

Yer, because Mayweather moved up through 5 classes and fought some good opposition and beat them all. While Hopkins made everybody else move up and beat them. Then fought someone his own size that was half decent, got beat twice and ****ed off.

Rinse and repeat 18 months later at LHW and that makes you a legend?

GTFO.

Hopkins = most overated fighter of the last 20 years.

[Pugilistic™]

Hopkins is legendary.

Anyone who actually knows the sport knows this.

Hopkins deserves his props, it's a shame that he some on here still don't give him some respect.

I think he's very good. Of course, you can pick out things through his career to discredit him. But you can do that to anybody really can't you?

He's not overrated or underrated IMO.

I'm just trying to bring some reasoning to this thread.

I mean the one a while ago made me rage. It was rank Jones, Slappy and Nard in order and most people had:

Jones (no problem with this), Nard,.......................,Slappy

Despite the fact Slappy moved up to deal Nard a L.

He always has the age disadvantage though. What about that?

When he was 43? wow what an achievement. GTFO Calzaghe sucks ****.

Yer, but in reality age doesn't mean ****. Let's just talk about how good he is as a boxer. If he chooses to fight at the age he is - fine. I mean he started his pro career at what, 30? He doesn't have the wear most fighters that age do.

Calzaghe > Hopkins.
