    I just don't see HOPKINS as an A.T.G.

    Bernard Hopkins... King of the head butt...King of the boring fights... king of the punch and clinch... This makes someone an A.T.G? Truthfully, hopkins hasnt done **** since he KOed Trinidad. This chump even screamed the silent black man rule (never let a whiteboy beat me) and LOST!!! WTF?!?!?!? Hopkins sucks to me... I'm sorry but he does. He throws 250 punches per fight and he's a serious clown. You should see him driving De La Hoyas old bentley around Delaware smh. Dude isn't that good. He loss to Jermain "Nap Nap" Taylor, should of lost to Winky, Calzaghe, and other lames... dude is ok to me. Not great. Some praise him for beating up Pavlik but come on now. Pavlik moved up in weight to fight him. Not to mention we all just learned that Pavlik is a MUMMY.- Boxing scenes own BADGUY

      Everyone can have there opinion but...

      Hopkins-Trinidad
      Hopkins-Echols
      Hopkins-Mercado 2
      Hopkins-G.Johnson

      All good fights...

      Bernard just happened to come around when his division was weak...smaller WW's realized this and wanted a crack at MW, is he supposed to say no?

      And it was a close fight but he made Winky look like **** before Paul Williams did...

                If you box you appreciate his style and ring smarts.

                He has never been beat up.

                His style is genius!

                If you're asking if his style is exciting to watch for the casual fan the answer is NO.

                  The RJJ fight was bull**** but nobody expected him to skool Pavlik...of course Martinez has shown it can be done but Bernard was the underdog in the fight and he is in his 40's...

                    Most of his notable wins are near or after 40
