The overrated Bernard Hopkins

[IMDAZED]

it's a difference in oppinions but i just don't understand how bernard can be considered great and calzaghe overrated when their careers are very similar either they are both great or they are both overrated

Calzaghe is a great fighter and a HOFer. Hopkins is a cut above.

even if both are overrated, calzaghe beat hopkins, so hopkins is more overrated...

My thoughts exactly.

****** ass thread!!!.....here we go again......we get this thread at least twice a month around here.....whats good with these re-runs?!?

hey TS, you're boxing IQ is overrated!!!

breathe in, then breathe out, then let go of the excuse that hopkins was out of shape...he lost...in or out of shape is irrelevant...especially 20 years later...

the truth is irrelevant? it may be to you but not to me.

strange, but its always different people explaining why hopkins is overrated...his detractors must be growing...lol

[daggum]

even if both are overrated, calzaghe beat hopkins, so hopkins is more overrated...

who cares clinton mitchell already beat hopkins at light heavy. wow calzaghe beat a guy who couldn't even beat clinton mitchell. and at least clinton didn't get decked like calzaghe.

he's 190 fat not 190 in shape like bernard was at 175. at middleweight you could see bernards ribcage,what other middleweight can u see their ribs?

uhh look how skinny calzaghe was at 168. but yea he didn't weight drain at all. imagine if he fought at his natural weight class. he might have muscles and power!

what truth do you have that he was out of shape...something concrete too, not speculative garbage....

....and who's to say mitchell wasn't in shape?

i'll tell you some real s**t...if he won that first fight and his next 20 or so @ 175 and lost a title shot to whoever was holding a belt @ 175 at that time, he would look real suspect scaling down to 160 after that...
