    At least Floyd Mayweather and Wladimir Klitschko score KO's. Wlad almost always gives a picture-perfect KO, and Floyd sometimes gives a KO.

    Bernard never gives a KO and throws like 10 punches a round.

    Bernard is the worst fighter to watch and at this point he is damaging boxing by continuing to fight.

      Even Pauli Malignaggi has more KOs in the same timeframe.

      Bernard's fights lack action, and is always him holding, and throwing like 15 punches a round.

      The only fight of his that was good was when he got beat by Joe Calzaghe. But even in that fight Bernard was crying like a baby.

      Both Hopkins-Pascal fights ****** and were awful as far as entertainment goes.

      Hopkins-Jones 2 is probably the worst fight Ive ever seen and that is because of Bernard's style, not Roy's.
      Cherry picking aren't we. No mention of Pavlik, Tarver. I didn't mistake you for a objective, fair and balanced person on this topic anyway.

      So you're excused.

        I dont find any of Bernard's fights exciting. So Im not cherry picking.

        You brought up Floyd and Wlad. But sometimes I find Floyd and Wlad exciting, because they atleast score KO's and make a good fight.

        Bernard never KO's and is consistently in horrible fights.

        Floyd has good fights (KO Hatton was exciting)
        Wlad has good fights (KO Byrd, Brock, Peter)

        Bernard has zero good fights in the last 10 years. This guy is just beyond unentertaining and he is the most unexciting fighter in boxing.

        In my opinion

            But this opinion is irrelevant because (Who are you? No pun intended). You're just one person. And yes you are cherry picking, Hopkins-Pavlik was exciting and the reaction from the audience in attendance is proof.

            He threw combinations, he sticked and moved and it was a brilliant victory.




            But it's irrelevant, Hopkins is 45 and isn't entitled to give anything besides training and trying to win at this point.

              hopkins duckedtoney many times

              a real old school fighter ducks no man

              hopkins bascially cherry picks fighters who he has a 20 year
              experience advantage in and schools them

              anyone who has his experience like calzaghe beats him

                Pavlik-Hopkins was an OK fight.

                Its just pathetic Bernard hasnt had a KO in 7 years, and the vast majority of his fights are just crappy, boring 12 round fights.

                Pascal-Hopkins I & II ******, Hopkins-Jones 2 was the worst fight Ive ever seen, Hopkins-Tarver ******, Hopkins-Pavlik was OK, Hopkins-Ornelas ****** major etc

                Bernard's fights just suck

                and Kelly Pavlik sucks so beating Kelly proves nothing. Sergio beat him worse. (just like Froch beat Pascal worse than BHOP did)

                Everyone knows Bernard Hopkins has been ducking Lucian Bute & Chad Dawson.

                  Like I said, I didn't take you for the objective, rational type when it comes to Hopkins.

                  And Hopkins defeated Kelly far worse than Sergio. And I will not waste time going into detail telling you why. It's pointless.

                  Have a good day. And tell Lucian Bute to come out of hiding, milking his title against C-Level competition.

                    Not even close and actually B-Hop has been pretty exciting as of late. I can tell that you aren't really a fan of boxing by what you look into a fighter pointing out that he hasn't had a kayo in 7 years. Bernards fight with Pavlik was really exciting and so was his fights with Calzaghe and Pascal. Bernard is crafty as hell and just like Mayweather, a guy that probably isn't going to get a kayo he's very interesting to watch. I feel like I can learn more about the fight game watching a Mayweather or Hopkins fight more than majority of big punchers. If you watch boxing for knockouts, that's fine but knockouts aren't what the sports about, they are just a small part of it.

                      This is what I hear and then I hear idiots start criticizing the K2 brothers in their next post.

                      ****ing dumbasses needs to get their arguments straight.
