Comments Thread For: Measured Against All Time: Bernard Hopkins

[Mr. Philadel]

EXcellent read

Hey Cliff! Good article. I would say he is an All-Time Great for his resume. I think though, that he is at the end of the line. At this point, all you really need to beat the Hop is activity and a good, fast, hard jab. Pascal's jab isn't really there and that gives the Hop a chance, but I think he is enough past his prime that a lesser talent like Pascal takes him to defeat.

I think Pascal's speed and burst offense should be enough to win rounds.

I think Pascal's speed and burst offense should be enough to win rounds.

It could be too, depending on what Hopkins has left.

But, will he be able to settle and get into a rhythm?

Or will he get clinched/pushed/butted off his gameplan?

Depending on what Hopkins turns up, and depending on the ref, I can see him timing Pascal and hitting him with right-hands then clinching, keeping it tight and ugly..... then taking him to a dark place and mugging him.

Although it might be hard to win a UD like that in Quebec.

In anticipation of this weekend...

...hard to believe this is his FIFTH fight since this piece. Hopkins just don't stop.

Wow. This was written 3 years ago and he's STILL building on his legacy.

This is one of the best articles I've ever seen about boxing. Standing applause. That was awesome.

Good article, written too soon.

One of the best ever!

The middleweights today are thankful a guy like B Hop isn’t around or each would be like a kids first day of school(nervous asf cuz they’re about to get schooled)!
