Bernard Hopkins; The Executioner??

[ИATAS]

no he didnt...

not on the scorecards and not i my opinion.

He tried, but not in a very executioner style way if you ask me. The way i see it, a boxer who calls himself the executioner would not be using excesive holding og headbutts like he did in that fight... nor try to gain extra time from a low blow that obviously did not hurt that much... renember, Calzaghe cant punch

See my post above. He was 43 years old when he fought calzaghe. Compare a young bernard hopkins fighting style to that of what we saw against Calzaghe. Drastically different.

He should of got docked at least two points in that fight, for his headbutting and holding. Cortez really disgraced himself as well, for allowing it.

that video shows that calzaghe should have been docked at least two points for slapping like a girl

You may be right...

But against who? Lipsey who?? he did not look like no executioner against Jones, Taylor or Tarver... He fought brilliant against Pavlik and Trinidad but still, did not remind me of an executioner.

and also, i could show you about a lot of 36 second videos showing calzaghe knocking people out while "slapping like a girl" just as well as you can show me Hopkins as a real "executioner"

nard executes fighters


they lose in the right

but careers are executed.

Hopkins took people apart in his younger days. He was definetely a Executioner then.

Hopkins in his prime became a master boxer who could do pretty much everything in the ring.

Once Hopkins got older though, he had to become more defensive which why he fights the way he does now.

I gues you could say Hopkins is still a Executioner because he is good at executing gameplans against his opponents.

Not even Hopkins can handle Calzaghe's Hurricane of Hate, lmao.

[Sir Tom Jones]

hopkins should be deducted points for running and headbutting


anyway i am not a fan of the mask thing. he ain't ray mysterio

You may be right...

But against who? Lipsey who??

Pretty much everyone at middleweight besides roy jones

Taylor

He was 40 years old against Taylor

Tarver...

41 years old (still scored a knockdown).

He fought brilliant against Pavlik

43 years old...

and Trinidad

Trinidad was a great win. He dominated him and is the only man to have ever KO'd trinidad. Perfect execution.

and also, i could show you about a lot of 36 second videos showing calzaghe knocking people out while "slapping like a girl" just as well as you can show me Hopkins as a real "executioner"

I'm sure calzaghe had more power in his youth and his hands weren't as brittle. But that has nothing to do with how Bernard got his knick name. Again, hopkins fought very offensively in his days of youth and almost always went for the KO.

You maybe be right, i cant tell since the earliest hopkins fight i have seen was his fight with roy jones. He did nit look like an executioner there.

and neither did he against any of the fighters i mentioned earlier.. So one could say:

Yes, you are right, he was an executioner, just not against quality opposition??

Bunce shaking in his boots, lol.
