It might be considered Boxing Blasphemy to say this, to speak of something sacred in a forbidden manner, but Bernard ‘The Executioner’ Hopkins might be among if not the greatest boxing champion in the history of the sport. Yes, right there with Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Salvador Sanchez, Henry Armstrong.
21 defenses. The finest performance of his career at the age of 43 which was not only a virtual shutout but a perfect game no-hitter. Said the budding superstar Pavlik after the defeat, “I felt like a sub-novice fighter tonight.”
Only wizards and all-time legends could do that to a top champion. Bernard Hopkins is a wizard, a magician, a living legend, or even more. During the match you could hear comments decorating the Convention Hall atmosphere, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! …Bernard Hopkins is an artist! … Bernard’s unbelievable… We’re gonna call Bernard Ghostbusters.”
