Hopkins Has His Legacy

[ProBox1]

This past September, Bernard Hopkins showed the world what most of us have suspected- he is one of the best fighters of this generation. Before we start saying that Bernard only beat a junior middleweight, let face one fact. Hopkins beat one of the better fighters of our generation in Oscar De La Hoya.

When I was thinking about this fight, the one person that came to mind was Larry Holmes. Holmes was the Roger Dangerfield of Heavyweights, for no one really would give the Easton Assassin his due. For seven years, Holmes beat every fighter in front of him and all he would hear was that he beat a bunch of nobodies or that he was not Ali. He won 21 championship fights in a row and dominated the division not seen since Joe Louis and people still complain. [details]

I agree B-hop's a great fighter and deserves alot of respect for the great career he has had.
