Does Bernard Hopkins Mentalliy Ruin Fighters?

[SplitSecond]

yes, just like i believe in magical creatures and flying pigs

the only thing that might get slightly deteriorated in his opponents are their bodies which usually have to go back down in weight after gaining an amount they were never meant for to fight him in the first place

[Ivansmamma]

What about basically every contender and beltholder in the 90s?

I didnt follow Hopkins career in the 90s. He might have ruined Trinidad.

[Reggie Miller]

Yes he does and even though he doesn't KO everyone nowadays, he hits ALOT harder than people think.

[deuce_drop]

yes, hopkins is soul eater #1. he's retired more fighters, taken fighters fighting spirit, and leaves his opponents as damaged goods.........


hopkins fighting souls collected, the partial list:

trinidad
wright
pavlik
eastman
allen
echols
lipsey
mercado


win, lose, or draw, it's not fun to fight hopkins, and even in a win, guys avoid him like the plague, poor taylor had to go through the gauntlet twice, calzaghe didn't want no part of hopkins in a rematch of their closely contested fight, racism and boring isnt an excuse to not rematch a guy, when the rematch is more exciting and has more to offer than fighting a shot roy jones, then retire.

The Executioner at work.

I think he exposes fighters flaws and robs them of their confidence. If you look at Pavlik and Trinidad both fighters were undefeated, renown for their punch power, Hopkins exposed their flaws and shattered their delusions.

[Steven Adams]

hell yeah he CAN if you allow him to, they don't call him the "EXECUTIONER" for nothing, Hopkins is a throwback, a old school fighter, even if you beat him he will make you work for it

he aint old school.. well according to James Toney he aint

[supRa]

bhop diggs deep and dosent retaliate !
