    It's pretty sad some you can't give credit when history was just made

    Seriously it's pathetic and really shows your true colors. 46 years old and just won the light heavyweight championship against a guy 18 years younger than him. This isn't some BS title it's the lineal championship. Hopkins showed tremendous heart, being hurt a couple times in the fight and kept on bringing it to the young lion. A lesser man would retreat and accept defeat. Not hopkins, losing wasn't an option.

    Do you idiots have any idea how difficult it is to do something like that at age 46???? Especially given the fact he doesn't have knock out power?? You haters are probably in your teens and early 20's and have no clue what aging is about and think you'll be in your prime forever. If winning world championships at that age was no big deal it would have happened before, but it hasn't. Not over a hundred years in boxing history. Can you grasp that?

    Show some respect to a legend. You don't have to like him, hell you can even hate him, but give credit when it's due.

      Most are giving him credit, it's a wonderful thing to see. Only people that aren't are spiteful Eastern Europeans. I'm no Hopkins fan but I wanted to shed a tear because there is so much emotion involved with what he just accomplished. It's like against Pavlik, when everyone tells you no, you say yes. Life is about overcoming the odds and Hopkins has done it time after time.

          Exactly! Retaining the lineal championship he lost over 2 years ago is one thing, but doing so as the oldest champion in boxing history against a young fighter...amazing

            I hate Bernard guts and root for him to lose every fight he is I'm but only a moron would have scored that fight for Pascal. He deserves a lot of props for winning a title at 46 yrs old.

              I think its the fact people are saying pac doesnt deserve the fighter of the decade...bhop does - thats where the arguements start

              When it was blatantly between mayweather and pacquiao to begin with
