    1) 10 Years Middleweight Champ
    2) 20 Title Defences
    3) Oldest Man To Be Middleweight Champion
    4) Jumped up 2 weight classes to school and beat Antonio Tarver and takes his IBO LHW title..

    Bernard Beat The Following..

    -Felix Trinidad (Handed him his 1st Pro Defeat)
    -Antonio Tarver (Jumped Up 2 Weight Classes And Took His Belts)
    -Glen Johnson (Handed Him His 1st Pro Defeat)
    -Oscar De La Hoya (Handed Him His First KO Loss)
    -Kelly Pavlik (Handed And Schooled Him to his 1st Defeat)
    -Winky Wright (Beat Him)
    -Roy Jones Jr (Schooled Jones Jr)
    He's is a great fighter no doubt but to be honest he sometime makes a fool of himself imo. He beahaviour during the Jones rematch was quite frankly pathetic. He brought shame to the sport. He's supposed to be a big tough guy but he get's a bit of a rabbit punch and he's down for 4 minutes!!! C'mon! He can give it but can't take it what a ****, he acted like a prick throughout that fight. Constant headbutts and low blows awful to watch. Roy was ****e too but at leat he isn't a cry baby.

      lol@Paul Briggs....Adamek was called out by Hopkins but he didn't want none.Paul Briggs is a no-name even here in Oz. Danny Green couldn't sell **** to flies anywhere other than Australia.
      The Super 6 tourney is at SMW!!! Hopkins is a LHW and 45 years old,yet you expect him to shrink down???? Be reasonable.
      It was skills that beat Oscar,Pavlik,etc-did their styles even look different before fighting Hopkins? Pavlik has always been slow and plodding even at MW.
      At 45 years old,this guy is allowed to have a pass and fight Roy Jones-especially when you guys give Calzaghe and Danny Green big credit for manhandling Roy....

        50 pounds of muscle lost???? That is an exaggeration,but he did lose a substantial amount.Again,nobody forced Roy to move down in weight,he only did this because he couldn't get the fights he wanted at HW.
        Tarver was decent-not great.Same as Glen Johnson,but these guys were the very first to beat Roy and his common opponents before he lost that weight. They are still very solid fighters,not bums as you may suggest.

            He moved down because the WBA told him he had to defend his belt against Vitali K
