Bernard Hopkins - Legendary or Overratted

[MARKBNLV]

Echols was a very good fighter in the mid to late 90s,robert allen was also a pretty good fighter,it is not Bernards fault that the division at the time lacked superstar talent.

Yet you know Kessler would take him apart.

Hopkins is the modern day Larry Holmes, beating all the young fighters .

some of you guys just don't want to give the great Hopkins credit for his victories.

larry holmes made lightheavyweights move up to fight him?

[Rabbit ♠]

B-hop haters are bitter because he beat their favorite fighter, or lost to them in controversial fashion. I also think B-hop nuthuggers are overly sensitive and cry too much.

[Benncollinsaad]

He didn't beat MY favorite fighter. Jermain is one of my fav fighters now. And so is Calz.

Sorry dude, even though I like Kessler a lot, Hopkins is too much for him.

Even the current Hopkins?? If you say yes, I will stop taking you seriously.

how many times did he defend against robert allen and echols about 25 altogther...i thought he beat them to unify the titles as well...

Are you ****** or have amnesia, because I schooled you on this before.

Robert allen - first fight was a NC (mills lane incident), fight had to be rescheduled.

Robert Allen II - Hopkins knocks Allen out in 7 rounds.

Robert Allen III - 5 YEARS LATER Robert Allen worked his way back up to the #1 contender position, making himself hopkins mandatory. Hopkins protested the fight, didn't want it, but would have been stripped of his belt if he refused to fight. Hopkins wins a lopsided victory.

He fought Echols twice and I don't know why you're complaining those were fun fights.

Hopkins did what he had to do with boxings dirty politics. Hopkins was his own promoter and made a lot of enemies in the sport as a result of him not taking **** from the higher ups, promoters, etc. It took hopkins a long time to land big name fights.

So what was hopkins to do, other than cleaning out the division, unifying the belts, fighting his mandatories, and beating the guys put in front of him?

In today's world, everyone complains that there are too many belt holders, and guys duck eachother in their own division. Everyone wants a unified champ. Well, hopkins did that, he had 5-6 belts in fact (only person in history to do so). What more can a man do to earn respect?

Now I ask you the same question, which you've ducked before, name 3-4 active fighters with a better resume than b-hop.

Why did you duck my question?
