    Bernard Hopkins beat Enrique Ornelas. He hardly deserves to have it called his year.

      It just shows that some of the new talent is not up to par with fighters who are on the way out of the sport.

        I agree and blame it on the new crop. In the old days, great fighters beat the old guys into retirement ala Ali-Holmes, but these days, they let them hang around.

          All he said is that he boxed on opposed to retiring which is meaningful considering he's an ATG middleweight and still a P4P fighter.

          Funny how you pointed this out but let Tua beating Cameron slide...
