He lost when he faced bona fide world-class opponents like Roy Jones Jr., unless they were little guys like Trinidad and De La Hoya.

    His illegal "hold and headbutt" style while effective, is boring to watch. His character is weak - remember his racist statements about never letting "a white boy" beat him, before the Calzaghe fight?

    This man is overrated and definitely NOT an ATG.

    How's life in ********** tunney?

      Blah.

      Not worth a rational, lengthy response.

          I think he loses to Dawson.

          Who is the best super middleweight in the world? Ward, Dirrell or Froch?
          Pascal already seems beat since he's been throwing out accusations of steroid use already. Dawson would be an interesting fight. Probably a fun fight to watch like Taylor-Hopkins 1. I think it'd be just as competitive.

          I was hoping we would know that by the time Hopkins fights Pascal & Dawson. But if I had to pick a #1 today it'd definitely be Andre Ward because he's been dominating this super 6 as ugly as his style is or not. Bute has looked the best since he's been stopping fights but I think don't there as good as Kessler or probably even Allen Green. Nevertheless Abraham.

            Bernard Hopkins is an ageless wonder, with sheer grace, umph and fu(k you inside him... He boxes like you stole his dinner, and some people dont like that but, real boxing fans respect that. He brings a style to the table many cant decifer, a style that in the years to come will become staple, ..in fighting.. with every facet of the upper body active and retro, push offs, jabs, body shots head grabbing, forearms etc.. MMA ****..


            Real Life doe Bernard has earned everything he has, his 44 and still the meanest dude on the block, he had the roughest up bringing and unlike his pupils, Jones, Toney Calzaghe, he fought back from the odds and still commands respect, if not off his style his will to still beat prime fighters at this point... HE IS AN ATG TOP50 in my book!!!!
