The overrated Bernard Hopkins

[daggum]

hold up now...ain't like calzaghe is no spring chicken either...he beat jones and nard str8 up...again stop with the excuses...hopkins lost to calzaghe, then turns around and whitewashes (no pun intended) palik?...and all of a sudden he's faded?....the #4 p4p fighter in the world is faded?...how much does hopkins pay you for spin doctor service?

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)

yes clinton mitchell was better than him that day. i don't care that he lost. i'm not one of those calzaghe undefeated fanboys. the reason he lost is cause he didn't know how to box and the only place he boxed was in prison. when he started taking boxing more seriously look how much better he did. you think clinton mitchell would beat him then?

he didn't do better just cause he dropped weight. he did better cause he learned the boxing game. but apparently learning isn't something you are familiar with.

we already acknowledged his skills man...that was about two pages ago...

he did better because he scaled down two divisions and found weaker opposition...lost to an equally sized, equally talented fighter in jones, and after that, continued to beat up on weak opposition...until he lost 2X to another equally sized, equally talented opponent in jermaine taylor...and i've learned that you can't reason with hopkins ballickers, worse than explaining something to an infant....

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

you just make yourself look foolish. he only did better cause he scaled down? weaker opposition? than clinton mitchell? you should seriously admit defeat here. you just called all hopkin's opponents weaker than clinton mitchell(career record 3-1) you dug yourself real deep. are you seriously pretending that hopkins couldn't beat a club fighter but then when he drops weight he suddenly becomes middleweight champ of the world?

look what happened when he went back up to light heavy when he learned the craft of boxing. he beat the best light heavy in the world so your claim holds absolutely no merit. he couldn't beat clinton mitchell when he had no boxing knowledge but then he's able to beat tarver when he does. basically you are saying clinton mitchell is better than tarver. hilarious.

c'mon TS... seriously?

[Blue Heffner]

Hopkins won all the fights or arguably won the fights in which he was the underdog. That is not being overrated.

[SplitSecond]

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

If you think Hopkins is overrated you need to delete thread promptly and stop watching boxing asap.

Agreed

[Bacatit]
