The overrated Bernard Hopkins

[Bacatit]

no **** he's overrated, why is he still in the p4p rankings, and why is he the number 1 lightheavyweight? bull****

He is still #1 in LHW ?

That's odd.

I've gotta look into that

[The_Demon]

beating hopkins "straight up" mean punching air and getting a gift decision cause then yea he "straight up" clowned him.

why the **** are you still crying about that?

even hopkins biggest nuthuggers have accepted that their boy lost a close fight,you really need to get over it and stop acting like a little whining *****,it was almost 2 years ago now,and mummy still hasnt changed your nappy?

THERE IT IS! the spring chicken line. gotta love it. you calzaghe fans all have the same talking points its hilarious. spring chicken! Lacy! undefeated! so creative. you really have nowhere to go on this one. you think a 43 year old man is not faded? come on admit defeat here. he is still a good fighter but he is far from his best. pretending he's not makes you look like a hater(which you are so well done)

Daggum telling other people they have "the same talking points".

Question: what do DLH, Trinidad, Wright and Pavlik have in common?

Answer: They were all smaller fighters than Hopkins, but they're his greatest wins.

The best fighter he ever beat besides smaller fighters was Tarver. As some of you may know, Tarver was weight-drained, due to the fact that he just finished filming a Rocky Movie and had to cut weight fast.

He exposed by a man the same size in Jermain Taylor and then once again by a smaller fighter in Calzaghe.

I don't doubt that he was a solid middleweight champion but to consider him one of the greatest fighters of the last decade is absurd.

Now, he's fighting the man that gave him the most decisive beating of his career in Roy Jones. Except now Jones is beyond past his prime and was just knocked out by a contender-like fighter.


Way to seal your legacy, Hopkins!

hopkins sealed his legacy ten years ago when he knocked out trinidad. trinidad might have been moving up but he was a solid MW and any attempts to dismiss him completely due to size are just pathetic. thats like dismissing hearns on haglers resume, tito proved he could both take and give a punch at 160lbs. on top of that tito along with pavlik got schooled so badly u cant just blame it on weight, anyone who knows jack **** about boxing can see hopkins was just on another level as far as skills and boxing IQ goes and thats why he won, not his size. DLH and wright arent even hopkins' best wins. he has glen johnson, john david jackson, william joppy, keith holmes etc on his record. and ofcourse tarver.

to completely dismiss hopkins' shut out wins over tarver, pavlik and tito, then claim he got exposed in razor thin controversial decision losses to taylor and calzaghe is just ignorant. any sense of logical reasoning has clearly been tossed aside due to your pesonal disliking of the man.

hopkins is one of the very best p4p fighters of his era, if he fights and beats dawson he will be #1 in my opinion. but i doubt that will happen. only thing i know for sure is if it does happen haters like u will come up with some lame excuse and pretend it makes sense.

I think he had better wins at MW but the problem is people didnt know him much til he won Oscar and Tito.

He did have a very long time defending champion which is pretty hard to hold for this long years.

exactly,like very few people knew calzaghe until he ****ed lacy up

the fact that people act like hopkins is so great yet discredit calzaghe are just ******ed

like i said their resumes are very similar,except joe.c fought guys his own size and didnt lose to the best fighters he faced

Who was the naturally smaller fighter?



Just stating my opinion.

checker.

that rihanna pic is award winning.

hopkins didnt lose to the best fighters he faced, he just faced alot of great fighters and lost to some of them. nobody is saying wright and DLH are great wins for hopkins. pavlik and tito were basicly his size.

in the end hopkins just fought way better fighters when he was defending his IBF strap than joe when he was defending his WBO strap. alot of guys joe fought were acctually guys who got knocked out by the likes of william joppy and keith holmes at 160 so they tried 168 were the competition was a bit easier. hopkins ofcourse manhandled both holmes and joppy. along with glen johnson and some other quality guys. mario veit, brewer etc dont compare to that.

Because people where watching Tito and Oscar not the MW.

So for people who dont know how good the fighters he fought or where following the MW that time would know how good Hopkins is.

having a long title defense is very hard to see so respect to Hopkins and Calzaghe
