Bernard Hopkins the legendary midget basher

[Grand Champ]

I see, saying Hopkins is a bum is the new big deal in NSB. Just like Duran a month or two back.

10 years middleweight champ, first to KO DLH, destroyed a near prime trinidad, beat Wright, moved up old to beat Tarver big. You guys forget people wasn't saying B-hop would beat these fighters the way he did when fight was made. People gave these fighters a good chance.

It's easy to forget that rather than fighting a straight up unknown tomato can, Floyd chooses to fight the #2 P4P fighter in the world, immediately after a near 2 year layoff.

Bernie conveniently leaves that part out.

Of course, it's in his best interest to promote a Floyd-Shane fight which may eventually happen next year after Pac-May if it ever gets made.

That's quite a revealing post, Silver.

Duran was prepared to face bigger opponents win or lose, Something which Hopkins has refused to do.

Tito was undefeated at ww and at jmw, at mw he went 2-3 hardly his prime division. As I pointed out before, Tito has been cheating for most of his career. Without the wraps he didnt have the power or boxing skill to be a threat to the much bigger Hopkins.

DLH started fighting as a lw, and had no business at mw. Winky had to move up two weight divisions and should of won that fight. Hopkins should of got dq for all those headbutts.

As for the Tarver fight, do you think it was just a coincidence that Hopkins chose to fight an opponent who had to lose 45 lbs? Look what happened to Jones when he lost 20 lbs. Why hasnt he fought another lhw who has not had to drop 45 lbs?

[Pounding]

Pavlik - Had to move up 10 pounds to face him
Calzaghe - Had to move up 5-7 pounds to face him
Winky - Had to move up over 10 pounds to face him
Tarver - Hopkins faced him at his best weight
Taylor - Hopkins faced him at his best weight
Eastman - Had to drop from 168 to 158 to face Hopkins
De La Hoya - Natural 147 fighter, Past prime when Hopkins beat him.
Allen - Had to move down 4 pounds to face Hopkins.
Joppy - Hopkins faced him at his best weight but Joppy was not the same after Trinidad destroy him.
Hakkar - Hopkins face him at his best weight.
Daniels - Hopkins faced him at his best weight.
Trinidad - Natural 147 fighter, Out of shape when Hopkins beat him.

He's only great win over a fighter at their best weight was Tarver. The rest I am not impressed considsering all of those guys had to move up in weight to face him and most of them suck at that weight.

Just like Ward right?

[Adamantium]

Hakkar - Hopkins face him at his best weight.

The legendary Hakker top ten atg, or close thats for sure.

not to be a hater but they come in completely differrent ways, ward is'nt nessecerily a dirty fighter, most of the time heads clashed was when he ducked down and on his way back up to clinch, hopkins does'nt duck down, but he's chin is always at his chest and he just comes straight foward
